Part of the Clear Thought Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call mentalmodel to perform operations in Clear Thought Server. While the risk category is not fully classified, applying a rate limit gives you visibility into how often the tool is called and prevents unexpected bursts of activity from autonomous agents.
Applying a policy to mentalmodel gives you an audit trail of every call an AI agent makes. Even for low-risk tools, visibility into agent behaviour helps you debug issues, optimise workflows, and maintain compliance with your organisation's security requirements.
Apply a rate limit to control usage and monitor for unexpected behaviour.

A tool for applying structured mental models to problem-solving. Supports various mental models including: - First Principles Thinking - Opportunity Cost Analysis - Error Propagation Understanding - Rubber Duck Debugging - Pareto Principle - Occam's Razor Each model provides a systematic approach to breaking down and solving problems.. It is categorised as a Other tool in the Clear Thought Server MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for mentalmodel. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Clear Thought Server MCP server.
mentalmodel is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the mentalmodel 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 mentalmodel. 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.
mentalmodel is provided by the Clear Thought Server MCP server (ThinkFar/clear-thought-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Open source. One binary. Zero dependencies.
