Destructive tools (delete-container-registry-auth, delete-endpoint, delete-network-volume) permanently delete resources. There is no undo. An agent calling these in a retry loop causes irreversible damage.

Write operations (create-container-registry-auth, create-endpoint, create-network-volume) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.

Execute tools (start-pod, stop-pod) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.

One command. Full control.

Intercept sits between your agent and RunPod. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

Deny destructive operations
delete-container-registry-auth:
  rules:
    - action: deny

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

Rate limit write operations
create-container-registry-auth:
  rules:
    - rate_limit: 30/hour

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
get-container-registry-auth:
  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 RunPod MCP server? +

Yes. The RunPod server exposes 5 destructive tools including delete-container-registry-auth, delete-endpoint, delete-network-volume. 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 RunPod? +

The RunPod server has 9 write tools including create-container-registry-auth, create-endpoint, create-network-volume. 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 RunPod MCP server expose? +

26 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 10 are read-only. 16 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my RunPod setup? +

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