Part of the Aidex MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call aidex_link to retrieve information from Aidex 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 aidex_link 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.

Other tools in the Read risk category across the catalogue. The same policy patterns (rate-limit, allow) apply to each.
Link a dependency project to enable cross-project queries. The dependency must have its own .aidex index.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Aidex MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for aidex_link. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Aidex MCP server.
aidex_link 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 aidex_link rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for aidex_link. 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.
aidex_link is provided by the Aidex MCP server (aidex-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
