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

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

Execute tools (invoke_ai_action) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.

One command. Full control.

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

Deny destructive operations
delete_ai_action:
  rules:
    - action: deny

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

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

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

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

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

Can an AI agent delete data through the Contentful MCP server? +

Yes. The Contentful server exposes 12 destructive tools including delete_ai_action, delete_asset, delete_concept. 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 Contentful? +

The Contentful server has 23 write tools including create_ai_action, create_concept, create_concept_scheme. 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 Contentful MCP server expose? +

61 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 25 are read-only. 36 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my Contentful setup? +

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