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

AI agents call audience_segment to retrieve information from Cultural Intelligence 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 audience_segment 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.

How do I enforce a policy on audience_segment? +

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

What risk level is audience_segment? +

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

Can I rate-limit audience_segment? +

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

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