// WHAT CAN GO WRONG
✕

Destructive tools (cancel_video_uploads, delete_data_annotations, delete_new_asset_settings_static_renditions_video_live_streams) permanently delete resources. There is no undo. An agent calling these in a retry loop causes irreversible damage.

✕

Write operations (complete_video_live_streams, create_data_annotations, create_playback_id_video_assets) 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 Mux. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

// RECOMMENDED RULES
Deny destructive operations
cancel_video_uploads:
  rules:
    - action: deny

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations
complete_video_live_streams:
  rules:
    - rate_limit: 30/hour

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

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

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

// FAQ
Can an AI agent delete data through the Mux MCP server? +

Yes. The Mux server exposes 12 destructive tools including cancel_video_uploads, delete_data_annotations, delete_new_asset_settings_static_renditions_video_live_streams. These permanently remove resources with no undo. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Mux? +

The Mux server has 32 write tools including complete_video_live_streams, create_data_annotations, create_playback_id_video_assets. 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 Mux MCP server expose? +

98 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 54 are read-only. 44 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my Mux setup? +

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