Execute tools (crypto_dtd) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.

One command. Full control.

Intercept sits between your agent and Zarq. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Is the Zarq MCP server safe to use without restrictions? +

The Zarq server is primarily read-only with 10 read tools. While it cannot modify data, an agent in a retry loop can make thousands of API calls per minute, exhausting rate limits and running up costs. Rate limiting is still recommended.

How many tools does the Zarq MCP server expose? +

11 tools across 2 categories: Execute, Read. 10 are read-only. 1 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my Zarq setup? +

One line change. Instead of running the Zarq server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c agentidx-zarq-risk.yaml -- npx -y @agentidx/zarq-risk. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/agentidx-zarq-risk and adjust the limits to match your use case.
