index_project

Trigger project indexing. Scans and indexes all supported files in the project. Use background=true for large directories to avoid MCP timeouts.

@veedubin/super-memory-ts Execute

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents invoke index_project to trigger processes or run actions in Super Memory Ts. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON INDEX_PROJECT

index_project can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

// FAQ

What does the index_project tool do? +

Trigger project indexing. Scans and indexes all supported files in the project. Use background=true for large directories to avoid MCP timeouts.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Super Memory Ts MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on index_project? +

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

What risk level is index_project? +

index_project is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit index_project? +

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

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

index_project is provided by the Super Memory Ts MCP server (@veedubin/super-memory-ts). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
