// WHAT CAN GO WRONG
✕

Write operations (generate_component_scaffold, generate_sticker_sheet, generate_theme) 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 Optics. 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 @optics-mcp
Scans every tool. Generates a policy. Starts enforcing.

// RECOMMENDED RULES
Rate limit write operations
generate_component_scaffold:
  rules:
    - rate_limit: 30/hour

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

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

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

// FAQ
How do I prevent bulk modifications through Optics? +

The Optics server has 4 write tools including generate_component_scaffold, generate_sticker_sheet, generate_theme. 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 Optics MCP server expose? +

14 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 10 are read-only. 4 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my Optics setup? +

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