Low Risk

classify_ai_system

Classify an AI system under the EU AI Act. Determines risk level (prohibited, high-risk, limited, minimal), checks against Article 5 prohibited practices, maps to Annex III categories, lists required documentation, and provides the compliance deadline. Use this when building, deploying, or review...

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

AI agents call classify_ai_system to retrieve information from Conformy 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 classify_ai_system 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 classify_ai_system tool do? +

Classify an AI system under the EU AI Act. Determines risk level (prohibited, high-risk, limited, minimal), checks against Article 5 prohibited practices, maps to Annex III categories, lists required documentation, and provides the compliance deadline. Use this when building, deploying, or reviewing AI features to check regulatory obligations.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Conformy MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on classify_ai_system? +

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

What risk level is classify_ai_system? +

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

Can I rate-limit classify_ai_system? +

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

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

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