Admin/system-level operation

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

AI agents call diagnose_failure to retrieve information from Leeroopedia 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 diagnose_failure 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 diagnose_failure tool do? +

Diagnose errors, failures, or unexpected behavior using knowledge base documentation. Checks your symptoms and logs against known failure patterns, common misconfigurations, and documented environment issues — finding root causes faster. Use this tool when you need: - Root cause analysis of errors, crashes, or unexpected behavior - Debugging configuration issues or dependency problems - Understanding why a framework behaves differently than expected Returns: diagnosis, fix steps, and prevention advice.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Leeroopedia MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on diagnose_failure? +

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

What risk level is diagnose_failure? +

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

Can I rate-limit diagnose_failure? +

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

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

diagnose_failure is provided by the Leeroopedia MCP server (leeroopedia/leeroopedia). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
