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

Search current laws by effective date (시행일 기준 현행법령 검색). This tool searches Korean laws organized by effective date. Use this when you need to find laws that are currently in effect. Args: query: Search keyword (law name or content) display: Number of results per page (max 100, default 20). **Recommend 50-100 for law searches (법령 검색) to ensure exact matches are found.** page: Page number (1-based, default 1) oc: Optional OC override (defaults to env var) type: Response format - "JSON" (default), "XML", or "HTML" sort: Sort order - "lasc"|"ldes"|"dasc"|"ddes"|"nasc"|"ndes"|"efasc"|"efdes" ef_yd: Effective date range (YYYYMMDD~YYYYMMDD, e.g., "20240101~20241231") org: Ministry/department code filter knd: Law type filter Returns: Search results with law list or error Examples: Search for "자동차관리법": >>> eflaw_search(query="자동차관리법", display=10, type="JSON") Search with date range: >>> eflaw_search( ... query="자동차", ... ef_yd="20240101~20241231", ... type="JSON" ... ) . 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 eflaw_search. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Korean Law Search MCP server.
eflaw_search 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 eflaw_search 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 eflaw_search. 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.
eflaw_search 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.
Open source. One binary. Zero dependencies.
