AI agents call get_hf_trending to retrieve information from TensorFeed 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 get_hf_trending 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.

Top Hugging Face models, datasets, and Spaces. Models + datasets ranked by downloads (top 30 each); Spaces ranked by likes (top 30, since downloads is meaningless for hosted apps). Captured daily at 12:00 UTC against the public HF API (no auth). Each model entry carries id, downloads, likes, pipeline_tag, tags, lastModified, private, gated. Each space entry carries id, author, sdk (gradio/streamlit/static/docker), likes, tags, lastModified, private, runtime_stage, hardware. Use this when an agent wants the current shape of the open model + dataset + app ecosystem. Once enough daily snapshots accumulate, day-over-day deltas become a real trending signal. Free, no auth.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TensorFeed MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_hf_trending. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the TensorFeed MCP server.
get_hf_trending 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 get_hf_trending 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 get_hf_trending. 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.
get_hf_trending is provided by the TensorFeed MCP server (@tensorfeed/mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
