Low Risk

garl_get_feed

Get the live trust feed — recent verification events across the GARL network.

Part of the Garl Protocol MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call garl_get_feed to retrieve information from Garl Protocol 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 garl_get_feed 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.

What does the garl_get_feed tool do? +

Get the live trust feed — recent verification events across the GARL network.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Garl Protocol MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on garl_get_feed? +

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

What risk level is garl_get_feed? +

garl_get_feed is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit garl_get_feed? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the garl_get_feed 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 garl_get_feed completely? +

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

What MCP server provides garl_get_feed? +

garl_get_feed is provided by the Garl Protocol MCP server (@garl-protocol/mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
