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

FINANCIAL TECH DEBT ANALYSIS ENGINE Calculate the ACTUAL COST of technical debt in dollars: - Calculate actual monetary cost of technical debt - Estimate time to fix each debt item - Priority ranking with ROI calculations - Track debt accumulation over time with compound interest model - Predict future maintenance burden - Cost-benefit analysis for refactoring decisions - Team velocity impact estimation - Breaking point prediction (when debt becomes critical) Get executive-level financial reports on technical debt to justify refactoring budgets.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Atlas Pipeline MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for atlas_tech_debt_quantifier. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Atlas Pipeline MCP server.
atlas_tech_debt_quantifier 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 atlas_tech_debt_quantifier 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 atlas_tech_debt_quantifier. 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.
atlas_tech_debt_quantifier is provided by the Atlas Pipeline MCP server (atlas-pipeline-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
