leeroopedia/leeroopedia Read Risk 2/5

AI agents call search_knowledge 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 search_knowledge 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 search_knowledge tool do? +

Search the knowledge base for framework documentation, API references, config formats, and best practices. Covers a wide range of ML/AI frameworks, libraries, and tools with architecture docs, implementation patterns, configuration references, and troubleshooting guides. Use this tool when you need to: - Understand how a framework, library, or API works before implementing - Look up config formats, data structures, or expected behavior - Learn about architecture, design patterns, or conventions of a project - Get verified information instead of guessing about framework internals IMPORTANT: Use this tool BEFORE you start coding whenever the task involves a framework or library. It is much faster and more accurate than guessing. Call this tool multiple times in parallel with different queries to search from multiple angles at once. Returns a synthesized answer with [PageID] citations.. 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 search_knowledge? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for search_knowledge. 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 search_knowledge? +

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

Can I rate-limit search_knowledge? +

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

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

search_knowledge 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.
