Part of the Atom of Thoughts MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents invoke AoT-light to trigger processes or run actions in Atom of Thoughts. 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.
AoT-light 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.

A lightweight version of Atom of Thoughts (AoT) designed for faster processing and quicker results. This streamlined version sacrifices some depth of analysis for speed, making it ideal for time-sensitive reasoning tasks. When to use: - Quick brainstorming sessions requiring atomic thought organization - Time-sensitive problem solving where speed is prioritized over exhaustive analysis - Simpler reasoning tasks that don't require deep decomposition - Initial exploration before using the full AoT for deeper analysis - Learning or demonstration purposes where response time is important Key differences from full AoT: - Lower maximum depth (3 instead of 5) for faster processing - Simplified verification process - Immediate conclusion suggestion for high-confidence hypotheses - Reduced computational overhead and response payload - Optimized for speed rather than exhaustive analysis Atom types and parameters are the same as the full AoT tool.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Atom of Thoughts 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 AoT-light. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Atom of Thoughts MCP server.
AoT-light 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 AoT-light 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 AoT-light. 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.
AoT-light is provided by the Atom of Thoughts MCP server (kbsooo/mcp_atom_of_thoughts). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Open source. One binary. Zero dependencies.
