Even read-only tools carry cost. An agent in a retry loop can make thousands of API calls per minute, exhausting rate limits and running up bills.

The Anime & Manga Library server is primarily read-only with 5 read tools. While it cannot modify data, an agent in a retry loop can make thousands of API calls per minute, exhausting rate limits and running up costs. Rate limiting is still recommended.
5 tools across 1 categories: Read. 5 are read-only. 0 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the Anime & Manga Library server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c hirofumitorato-japan-ani-search-mcp.yaml -- npx -y @hirofumitorato/japan-ani-search-mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/hirofumitorato-japan-ani-search-mcp and adjust the limits to match your use case.
Set budgets, approvals, and hard limits across MCP servers.
