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

AI agents call check_cds_classification to retrieve information from Orchestraprime 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 check_cds_classification 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 check_cds_classification tool do? +

Analyze software against FDA Clinical Decision Support (CDS) 4-criteria to determine if it qualifies for the CDS exemption under the 21st Century Cures Act Section 3060. When to use: When you need to assess whether a software product requires FDA clearance/approval or qualifies as exempt CDS. Evaluates all 4 criteria: 1. Not intended to acquire/process medical images or signals 2. Intended to display, analyze, or print medical information 3. Intended for healthcare professionals (not patients) 4. Does not provide specific diagnostic/treatment recommendations Classification: EXEMPT (all 4 met) or DEVICE (any criterion failed) . It is categorised as a Read tool in the Orchestraprime MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on check_cds_classification? +

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

What risk level is check_cds_classification? +

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

Can I rate-limit check_cds_classification? +

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

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for check_cds_classification. 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 check_cds_classification? +

check_cds_classification is provided by the Orchestraprime MCP server (@orchestraprime/mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
