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

Extract citations from a law article (조문 인용 조회). This tool extracts all legal citations referenced by a specific law article. It parses the official hyperlinked citations from law.go.kr HTML pages, providing 100% accurate citation data with zero API cost. The tool identifies: - External citations (references to other laws) - Internal citations (references within the same law) - Article, paragraph, and item level references Args: mst: Law MST code (법령일련번호) - get this from eflaw_search or law_search results law_name: Law name in Korean (e.g., "자본시장과 금융투자업에 관한 법률") article: Article number (조번호, e.g., 3 for 제3조) article_branch: Article branch number (조가지번호, e.g., 2 for 제37조의2, default 0) oc: Optional OC override (defaults to env var) Returns: Citation extraction result with: - success: Whether extraction succeeded - law_id: MST code - law_name: Law name - article: Article display (e.g., "제3조" or "제37조의2") - citation_count: Total number of citations found - citations: List of citation objects with target law, article, paragraph, item - internal_count: Number of same-law citations - external_count: Number of other-law citations Examples: Get citations from 자본시장법 제3조: >>> article_citation( ... mst="268611", ... law_name="자본시장과 금융투자업에 관한 법률", ... article=3 ... ) Get citations from 건축법 제37조의2: >>> article_citation( ... mst="270986", ... law_name="건축법", ... article=37, ... article_branch=2 ... ) Workflow: 1. First use eflaw_search(query="법명") to find the law and get MST 2. Then use article_citation(mst=..., law_name=..., article=...) to get citations 3. Optionally use eflaw_service to get the full article text . It is categorised as a Read tool in the Korean Law Search MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for article_citation. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Korean Law Search MCP server.
article_citation 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 article_citation 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 article_citation. 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.
article_citation is provided by the Korean Law Search MCP server (rabqatab/lexlink-ko-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
