AI agents call statpearls_disease_info to retrieve information from StatPearls Medical Knowledge Server 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 statpearls_disease_info 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.

Fetches comprehensive, reliable medical information about diseases from StatPearls, a trusted source of peer-reviewed medical content. Use this tool to get detailed information about diseases, conditions, symptoms, treatments, and medical concepts. Returns structured information including etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis when available.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the StatPearls Medical Knowledge Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for statpearls_disease_info. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the StatPearls Medical Knowledge Server MCP server.
statpearls_disease_info 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 statpearls_disease_info 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 statpearls_disease_info. 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.
statpearls_disease_info is provided by the StatPearls Medical Knowledge Server MCP server (jpoles1/statpearls-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
