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

Get current quota status including license tier, usage, and limits. Returns: - tier: 'free', 'pro', 'ultra', or 'unknown' - notebooks: used/limit/remaining/percent - sources: limit per notebook - queries: used/limit/remaining/percent/should_stop/reset_time - warnings: array of warning messages Quota Limits by Tier: - Free: 100 notebooks, 50 sources/notebook, 50 queries/day - Pro: 500 notebooks, 300 sources/notebook, 500 queries/day - Ultra: 500 notebooks, 600 sources/notebook, 5000 queries/day Use sync=true to fetch actual quota from Google's NotebookLM UI (requires browser). Without sync, returns locally tracked counts which may differ if you used NotebookLM directly in browser. Query counts reset daily at midnight.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Notebooklm MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_quota. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Notebooklm MCP server.
get_quota 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 get_quota 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 get_quota. 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.
get_quota is provided by the Notebooklm MCP server (@pan-sec/notebooklm-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
