Show the access rulebase for a given name or uid. Either name or uid is required, the other can be empty. By default, returns a formatted table with parsing capabilities. Set show_raw=true to get the raw JSON response. Set limit=0 to fetch the entire rulebase using pagination.

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

Show the access rulebase for a given name or uid. Either name or uid is required, the other can be empty. By default, returns a formatted table with parsing capabilities. Set show_raw=true to get the raw JSON response. Set limit=0 to fetch the entire rulebase using pagination.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Quantum Management MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for show_access_rulebase. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Quantum Management MCP server.
show_access_rulebase 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 show_access_rulebase 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 show_access_rulebase. 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.
show_access_rulebase is provided by the Quantum Management MCP server (@chkp/quantum-management-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
