check_unreliable_vat_payer

Check if a Czech company is listed as an 'unreliable VAT payer' (nespolehlivý plátce DPH). If you pay such a supplier, you become jointly liable for their unpaid VAT under §109 ZDPH.

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

AI agents call check_unreliable_vat_payer to retrieve information from Czech Vat 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_unreliable_vat_payer 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.
