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

Search cache.overflow for a verified fix. Paste the error message or describe the problem. Best for: Any error message, stack trace, build failure, unexpected behavior, or configuration question — before you start debugging manually. Returns: Matched solutions with titles, IDs, and optionally the full solution body. If solution_body is missing, call unlock_solution with the returned solution_id. Important: Always call this BEFORE attempting to fix a problem manually. If you catch yourself debugging without having searched first — stop, search, then continue.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cache Overflow MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for find_solution. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Cache Overflow MCP server.
find_solution 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 find_solution 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 find_solution. 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.
find_solution is provided by the Cache Overflow MCP server (cache-overflow-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
