get-process-output

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call get-process-output to retrieve information from React MCP 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.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON GET-PROCESS-OUTPUT

Even though get-process-output 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.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the get-process-output tool do? +

Get the output from a running or completed process. It is categorised as a Read tool in the React MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get-process-output? +

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

What risk level is get-process-output? +

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

Can I rate-limit get-process-output? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get-process-output 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 get-process-output completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for get-process-output. 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 get-process-output? +

get-process-output is provided by the React MCP MCP server (Streen9/react-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
