evaluate_context_pack

Record evaluation outcome for a context pack

High parameter count (13 properties)

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

AI agents call evaluate_context_pack to retrieve information from ThumbGate 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 evaluate_context_pack 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 evaluate_context_pack tool do? +

Record evaluation outcome for a context pack. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ThumbGate MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on evaluate_context_pack? +

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

What risk level is evaluate_context_pack? +

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

Can I rate-limit evaluate_context_pack? +

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

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

evaluate_context_pack is provided by the ThumbGate MCP server (rlhf-loop/mcp-memory-gateway-v2). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
