Request an informational introduction — to TESSA itself, or to any directory firm if you pass target_firm_slug. TESSA logs the lead and either notifies sales@tessa.tech + kevincallen@tessa.tech (TESSA leads) or forwards a warm intro email to the firm with TESSA Cc'd (directory leads). No calendar...

AI agents call request_introduction to retrieve information from Compliance Registry 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 request_introduction 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.

Request an informational introduction — to TESSA itself, or to any directory firm if you pass target_firm_slug. TESSA logs the lead and either notifies sales@tessa.tech + kevincallen@tessa.tech (TESSA leads) or forwards a warm intro email to the firm with TESSA Cc'd (directory leads). No calendar booking — use request_strategy_session to book a meeting with TESSA.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Compliance Registry MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Compliance Registry MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for request_introduction: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Compliance Registry. Nothing to install.
request_introduction 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 request_introduction rule in your PolicyLayer 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 PolicyLayer policy for request_introduction. 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.
request_introduction is provided by the Compliance Registry MCP server (globalpart/tessa-aios). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
