✕

Write operations (latest_product_type_location, products_type, products_type_location) 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 US Weather. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

// FAQ
How do I prevent bulk modifications through US Weather? +

The US Weather server has 4 write tools including latest_product_type_location, products_type, products_type_location. 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 US Weather MCP server expose? +

58 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 54 are read-only. 4 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my US Weather setup? +

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