8 tools. 4 can modify or destroy data without limits.
4 write tools that can modify data. Rate limits recommended.
Last updated:
Write operations (comet_connect, comet_tabs, comet_upload) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.
Execute tools (comet_stop) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.
Intercept sits between your agent and Perplexity Comet. 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 @perplexity-comet-mcp comet_connect:
rules:
- rate_limit: 30/hour Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.
comet_ask:
rules:
- rate_limit: 60/minute Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
The Perplexity Comet server has 3 write tools including comet_connect, comet_tabs, comet_upload. 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.
8 tools across 3 categories: Execute, Read, Write. 4 are read-only. 4 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the Perplexity Comet server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c io-github-rapiercraft-perplexity-comet-mcp.yaml -- npx -y @perplexity-comet-mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/io-github-rapiercraft-perplexity-comet-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.
