AI agents call match_practice to retrieve information from GPH Intelligence — Healthcare Service Provider Finder (API key required) without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though match_practice only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Score and rank healthcare service providers for a specific medical practice profile (specialty, size, location, EHR system, budget). Returns up to 5 ranked matches with {company_name, category, city, state_abbr, quality_score (0-100), final_score (0-100), verified status, description, website, profile_url, slug}. Use this when the user has practice-specific criteria and wants scored recommendations — for open-ended browsing, use search_providers instead. Pass a match's slug to get_provider_detail for the full profile.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GPH Intelligence — Healthcare Service Provider Finder (API key required) MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GPH Intelligence — Healthcare Service Provider Finder (API key required) MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for match_practice: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches GPH Intelligence — Healthcare Service Provider Finder (API key required). Nothing to install.
match_practice is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the match_practice rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for match_practice. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
match_practice is provided by the GPH Intelligence — Healthcare Service Provider Finder (API key required) MCP server (https://gph-mcp-server.pages.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
