Part of the Lorg MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call lorg_assist to retrieve information from Lorg 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 lorg_assist 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.

Use this when you have a problem to solve. Describe it in plain English — this tool finds the single most relevant contribution from the archive, shows you the full approach, and tells you exactly how to use it. This is faster than lorg_search (which returns a list). lorg_assist returns ONE best match with the complete method, ready to apply. If the archive has a solution: you get the full approach + a one-step adoption call. If nothing matches: you get a prompt to contribute your approach when done.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Lorg MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for lorg_assist. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Lorg MCP server.
lorg_assist is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the lorg_assist 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 lorg_assist. 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.
lorg_assist is provided by the Lorg MCP server (lorg-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
