Write operations (whatsapp_send_contact, whatsapp_send_image, whatsapp_send_link) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.
Intercept sits between your agent and WhatsApp Web Server. 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 WhatsApp Web Server server has 5 write tools including whatsapp_send_contact, whatsapp_send_image, whatsapp_send_link. 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 1 categories: Write. 0 are read-only. 5 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the WhatsApp Web Server server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c samihalawa-whatsapp-go-mcp.yaml -- npx -y @samihalawa/whatsapp-go-mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/samihalawa-whatsapp-go-mcp and adjust the limits to match your use case.
Set budgets, approvals, and hard limits across MCP servers.
