5 tools. 5 can modify or destroy data without limits.
5 write tools that can modify data. Rate limits recommended.
Last updated:
Write operations (convert_timestamp, format_duration, time_diff) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.
Execute tools (parse_cron) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.
Intercept sits between your agent and Timestamp. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

rules:
- rate_limit: 30/hour Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.
The Timestamp server has 4 write tools including convert_timestamp, format_duration, time_diff. 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.
5 tools across 2 categories: Execute, Write. 0 are read-only. 5 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the Timestamp server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c openclaw-ai-timestamp-converter.yaml -- npx -y @openclaw-ai/timestamp-converter. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/openclaw-ai-timestamp-converter 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.
