Low Risk

knowledge_drafts

List draft (unpublished) knowledge articles. Requires orchestrator role. Returns paginated drafts with total_count in meta. Max 20 per page.

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

AI agents call knowledge_drafts to retrieve information from Loopctl 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 knowledge_drafts 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 knowledge_drafts tool do? +

List draft (unpublished) knowledge articles. Requires orchestrator role. Returns paginated drafts with total_count in meta. Max 20 per page.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Loopctl MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on knowledge_drafts? +

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

What risk level is knowledge_drafts? +

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

Can I rate-limit knowledge_drafts? +

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

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

knowledge_drafts is provided by the Loopctl MCP server (loopctl-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
