Get detailed information about a specific LOINC code. Use this tool to: - Get the full name and description of a LOINC code - Find the component, property, timing, and system - Check the scale type and method Provide a LOINC number in format "XXXXX-X" (e.g., "2339-0" for Glucose).
Single-target operation
Part of the Medical Terminologies MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents invoke loinc_details to trigger processes or run actions in Medical Terminologies. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
loinc_details can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Get detailed information about a specific LOINC code. Use this tool to: - Get the full name and description of a LOINC code - Find the component, property, timing, and system - Check the scale type and method Provide a LOINC number in format "XXXXX-X" (e.g., "2339-0" for Glucose).. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Medical Terminologies MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for loinc_details. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Medical Terminologies MCP server.
loinc_details is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the loinc_details 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 loinc_details. 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.
loinc_details is provided by the Medical Terminologies MCP server (medical-terminologies-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
