Part of the AI Answer Copier MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call harmonize_markdown to retrieve information from AI Answer Copier 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 harmonize_markdown 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.

Other tools in the Read risk category across the catalogue. The same policy patterns (rate-limit, allow) apply to each.
Standardize and normalize Markdown syntax without changing the document's meaning. Re-formats headers (ATX-style), normalizes list markers to '-', enforces fenced code blocks with backticks, and applies consistent indentation. Side effects: when output_path is provided, writes the harmonized Markdown to disk. When output_path is omitted, returns the harmonized text as a string with no file I/O.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AI Answer Copier MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for harmonize_markdown. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AI Answer Copier MCP server.
harmonize_markdown 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 harmonize_markdown 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 harmonize_markdown. 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.
harmonize_markdown is provided by the AI Answer Copier MCP server (XJTLUmedia/x23). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
