✕

Write operations (hierarchy_resolve_path, member_resolve, task_assignee_resolve) 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 Clickup. 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 @taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server
Scans every tool. Generates a policy. Starts enforcing.

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

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
doc_list:
  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 Clickup? +

The Clickup server has 5 write tools including hierarchy_resolve_path, member_resolve, task_assignee_resolve. 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 Clickup MCP server expose? +

41 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 36 are read-only. 5 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my Clickup setup? +

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