discovery_list_plans

List available Disco plans with pricing. No authentication required. Returns all available subscription tiers with credit allowances and pricing. Use this to help users choose a plan.

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

AI agents call discovery_list_plans to retrieve information from Discovery Engine 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 discovery_list_plans 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.

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

Can I rate-limit discovery_list_plans? +

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