4 tools. 1 can modify or destroy data without limits.
1 destructive tool with no built-in limits. Policy required.
Last updated:
Destructive tools (forceRefresh) permanently delete resources. There is no undo. An agent calling these in a retry loop causes irreversible damage.
Intercept sits between your agent and Mcp Merchant. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

Yes. The Mcp Merchant server exposes 1 destructive tools including forceRefresh. These permanently remove resources with no undo. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.
4 tools across 2 categories: Destructive, Read. 3 are read-only. 1 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the Mcp Merchant server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c ai-shawndurrani-mcp-merchant.yaml -- npx -y @mcp-merchant. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/ai-shawndurrani-mcp-merchant and adjust the limits to match your use case.
Starter policies available for each. Same risk classification, same one-command setup.
Set budgets, approvals, and hard limits across MCP servers.
