22 tools. 4 can modify or destroy data without limits.
4 write tools that can modify data. Rate limits recommended.
Last updated:
Write operations (install_command, package_exists, pin_safe) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.
install_command:
rules:
- rate_limit: 30/hour Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.
check_bulk:
rules:
- rate_limit: 60/minute Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
The Depscope server has 4 write tools including install_command, package_exists, pin_safe. 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.
22 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 18 are read-only. 4 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the Depscope server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c dev-depscope-mcp.yaml -- npx -y @depscope-mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/dev-depscope-mcp and adjust the limits to match your use case.
