Destructive tools (item_delete) permanently delete resources. There is no undo. An agent calling these in a retry loop causes irreversible damage.

Write operations (password_create, password_generate, password_generate_memorable) 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 1password. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

Deny destructive operations
item_delete:
  rules:
    - action: deny

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations
password_create:
  rules:
    - rate_limit: 30/hour

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
item_lookup:
  rules:
    - rate_limit: 60/minute

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Can an AI agent delete data through the 1password MCP server? +

Yes. The 1password server exposes 1 destructive tools including item_delete. These permanently remove resources with no undo. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through 1password? +

The 1password server has 4 write tools including password_create, password_generate, password_generate_memorable. 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 1password MCP server expose? +

8 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 3 are read-only. 5 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my 1password setup? +

One line change. Instead of running the 1password server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c io-github-cakerepository-1password.yaml -- npx -y @@takescake/1password-mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/io-github-cakerepository-1password and adjust the limits to match your use case.
