Load binding standards that AI should follow. Returns standards notes with ai_binding frontmatter. Standards are notes with type: standard and ai_binding: required|recommended|optional. Use this at session start to load required standards, or query specific standards by domain/applies_to.
AI agents call palace_standards to retrieve information from Obsidian Palace MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves/loads notes from the Obsidian vault that contain standards metadata. It reads and returns existing data without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The phrase 'Load' and 'Returns standards notes' confirm it is a read-only operation. Low severity since it only exposes configuration/standards content.
From the tool's definition 'Load binding standards that AI should follow. Returns standards notes with ai_binding frontmatter.'

Use this at session start to load required standards, or query specific standards by domain/applies_to. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Obsidian Palace MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Obsidian Palace MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for palace_standards: 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 Obsidian Palace MCP. Nothing to install.
palace_standards 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 palace_standards 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 palace_standards. 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.
palace_standards is provided by the Obsidian Palace MCP server (probably-computers/obsidian-palace-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
