✕

Write operations (create_chart, create_cohort, create_dashboard) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.

One command. Full control.

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

npx -y @policylayer/intercept scan -- npx -y @amplitude-mcp
Scans every tool. Generates a policy. Starts enforcing.

// RECOMMENDED RULES
Rate limit write operations
create_chart:
  rules:
    - rate_limit: 30/hour

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
get_charts:
  rules:
    - rate_limit: 60/minute

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

// FAQ
How do I prevent bulk modifications through Amplitude? +

The Amplitude server has 6 write tools including create_chart, create_cohort, create_dashboard. Set rate limits in your policy file -- for example, rate_limit: 10/hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. Intercept enforces this at the transport layer.

How many tools does the Amplitude MCP server expose? +

24 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 18 are read-only. 6 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my Amplitude setup? +

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