FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What tools does the dbt MCP server expose?

The dbt MCP Server exposes 48 tools across 3 categories: Read, Execute, Write. Each tool can be individually controlled with Intercept policies.

How do I enforce policies on dbt?

Download the policy scaffold, add rules (rate limits, argument validation, deny rules), then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the dbt MCP server. Every tool call is evaluated against your YAML policy before execution.

Is the dbt policy free to use?

Yes. All Intercept policies are open source under the Apache 2.0 licence. Download, modify, and deploy without restrictions.
