Runs a full LintBase scan against a Firestore database. Detects schema drift, security issues, performance problems, and cost leaks. Returns a structured report with a risk score and actionable issues. Use this before writing any database-related code to get ground-truth schema context.
Part of the Lintbase MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call lintbase_scan to retrieve information from Lintbase 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 lintbase_scan 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.

Runs a full LintBase scan against a Firestore database. Detects schema drift, security issues, performance problems, and cost leaks. Returns a structured report with a risk score and actionable issues. Use this before writing any database-related code to get ground-truth schema context.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Lintbase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for lintbase_scan. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Lintbase MCP server.
lintbase_scan 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 lintbase_scan 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 lintbase_scan. 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.
lintbase_scan is provided by the Lintbase MCP server (lintbase-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Open source. One binary. Zero dependencies.
