67 tools. 29 can modify or destroy data without limits.
10 destructive tools with no built-in limits. Policy required.
Last updated:
Destructive tools (agent__remove_dependency, aithroyz_destroy_tenant, delete_mcp_connection) permanently delete resources. There is no undo. An agent calling these in a retry loop causes irreversible damage.
Write operations (activate_mcp, add_mcp_connection, agent__activate) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.
Execute tools (aithroyz_provision_tenant, call_mcp_tool, vault_sync) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.
Intercept sits between your agent and Clevername. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

Yes. The Clevername server exposes 10 destructive tools including agent__remove_dependency, aithroyz_destroy_tenant, delete_mcp_connection. These permanently remove resources with no undo. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.
The Clevername server has 16 write tools including activate_mcp, add_mcp_connection, agent__activate. 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.
67 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 38 are read-only. 29 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the Clevername server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c clevername.yaml -- npx -y @@clevername/clevername-mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/clevername 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.
