aidex_note

Read or write a session note for the project. Notes persist in the AiDex database. When a note is overwritten or cleared, the old note is automatically archived. Use history/search to browse past notes.

aidex-mcp Write Risk 3/5

AI agents use aidex_note to create or modify resources in Aidex. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call aidex_note repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Aidex.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

How do I enforce a policy on aidex_note? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for aidex_note. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Aidex MCP server.

What risk level is aidex_note? +

aidex_note is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit aidex_note? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the aidex_note 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.

How do I block aidex_note completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for aidex_note. 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.
