30 tools. 11 can modify or destroy data without limits.
1 destructive tool with no built-in limits. Policy required.
Last updated:
Destructive tools (rules-tool) permanently delete resources. There is no undo. An agent calling these in a retry loop causes irreversible damage.
Write operations (camera-tool, create-camera-policy-tool, door-schedule-exception-tool) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.
Execute tools (clips-tool, events-tool, lpr-tool) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.
Intercept sits between your agent and Rhombus Node. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

Yes. The Rhombus Node server exposes 1 destructive tools including rules-tool. These permanently remove resources with no undo. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.
The Rhombus Node server has 6 write tools including camera-tool, create-camera-policy-tool, door-schedule-exception-tool. 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.
30 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 19 are read-only. 11 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the Rhombus Node server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c rhombus-node.yaml -- npx -y @rhombus-node-mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/rhombus-node 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.
