11 tools. 4 can modify or destroy data without limits.
1 destructive tool with no built-in limits. Policy required.
Last updated:
Financial operations (withdraw_funds) can move real money. An agent caught in a loop could drain accounts before anyone notices.
Write operations (create_agent, export_wallet, update_strategy) 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 Conviction. 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 @conviction-mcp withdraw_funds:
rules:
- action: deny Financial tools should be explicitly enabled per use case, not open by default.
create_agent:
rules:
- rate_limit: 30/hour Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.
enter_position:
rules:
- rate_limit: 60/minute Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
Yes. The Conviction server exposes 1 financial tools including withdraw_funds. Without a policy, an autonomous agent can call these with no spend caps, no rate limits, and no approval flow. Intercept lets you block financial tools by default or set per-tool rate limits.
The Conviction server has 3 write tools including create_agent, export_wallet, update_strategy. 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.
11 tools across 3 categories: Financial, Read, Write. 7 are read-only. 4 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the Conviction server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c io-github-abcxz-conviction-mcp.yaml -- npx -y @conviction-mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/io-github-abcxz-conviction-mcp and adjust the limits to match your use case.
Starter policies available for each. Same risk classification, same one-command setup.
Set budgets, approvals, and hard limits across MCP servers.
