extract_incident

Claude-powered structured extractor. Parses unstructured text (news articles, court filings, emails, PDFs, incident reports, logs) into the typed JSON schema required by submit_incident. Returns a ready-to-submit incident object with extracted agents, events, severity, jurisdiction, and financial...

Part of the FaultKey · CausalLayer server.

extract_incident is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call extract_incident to retrieve information from FaultKey · CausalLayer 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 extract_incident 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.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so extract_incident only ever does what you allow.

What does the extract_incident tool do? +

Claude-powered structured extractor. Parses unstructured text (news articles, court filings, emails, PDFs, incident reports, logs) into the typed JSON schema required by submit_incident. Returns a ready-to-submit incident object with extracted agents, events, severity, jurisdiction, and financial impact. NOTE: This is a pre-processing convenience tool — the deterministic scoring engine itself remains LLM-free. Cost: 10 credits.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FaultKey · CausalLayer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on extract_incident? +

Register the FaultKey · CausalLayer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for extract_incident: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches FaultKey · CausalLayer. Nothing to install.

What risk level is extract_incident? +

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

Can I rate-limit extract_incident? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the extract_incident rule in your PolicyLayer 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 extract_incident completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for extract_incident. 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 extract_incident? +

extract_incident is provided by the FaultKey · CausalLayer MCP server (https://mcp.faultkey.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every FaultKey · CausalLayer tool call.
