Execute tools (execute_command, execute_powershell) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.
Intercept sits between your agent and Windows Command Line MCP Server. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

- rate_limit: 60/minute Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
The Windows Command Line MCP Server server is primarily read-only with 6 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.
8 tools across 2 categories: Execute, Read. 6 are read-only. 2 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the Windows Command Line MCP Server server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c alxspiker-windows-command-line-mcp-server.yaml -- npx -y @alxspiker/Windows-Command-Line-MCP-Server. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/alxspiker-windows-command-line-mcp-server 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.
