enhance_prompt

Take a basic prompt and return an optimized, enhanced version with clearer instructions, better structure, added constraints, and example format. FREE tool.

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

AI agents call enhance_prompt to retrieve information from Prompt Enhancer 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 enhance_prompt 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 enhance_prompt tool do? +

Take a basic prompt and return an optimized, enhanced version with clearer instructions, better structure, added constraints, and example format. FREE tool.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Prompt Enhancer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on enhance_prompt? +

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

What risk level is enhance_prompt? +

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

Can I rate-limit enhance_prompt? +

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

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

enhance_prompt is provided by the Prompt Enhancer MCP server (openclaw-ai/prompt-enhancer). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
