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

Write operations (draft_press_release) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.

Deny destructive operations
submit_press_release:
  rules:
    - action: deny

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

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

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
check_release_status:
  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 Pressagent MCP server? +

Yes. The Pressagent server exposes 1 destructive tools including submit_press_release. 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 Pressagent? +

The Pressagent server has 1 write tools including draft_press_release. 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 Pressagent MCP server expose? +

6 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 4 are read-only. 2 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my Pressagent setup? +

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