6 tools. 4 can modify or destroy data without limits.
4 write tools that can modify data. Rate limits recommended.

Write operations (send_control_character, switch_pane, write_to_specific_pane) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.
Intercept sits between your agent and WezTerm MCP Server. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.
npx -y @policylayer/intercept scan -- npx -y @hiraishikentaro/wezterm-mcp send_control_character:
rules:
- rate_limit: 30/hour Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.
list_panes:
rules:
- rate_limit: 60/minute Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
The WezTerm MCP Server server has 4 write tools including send_control_character, switch_pane, write_to_specific_pane. 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.
6 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 2 are read-only. 4 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the WezTerm MCP Server server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c hiraishikentaro-wezterm-mcp.yaml -- npx -y @hiraishikentaro/wezterm-mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/hiraishikentaro-wezterm-mcp and adjust the limits to match your use case.
Set budgets, approvals, and hard limits across MCP servers.
