147 tools. 56 can modify or destroy data without limits.
5 destructive tools with no built-in limits. Policy required.
Last updated:
Destructive tools (collaborator_delete_collaborator_remote_system_configuration, reflect_cancel_suite_execution, reflect_delete_previous_step) permanently delete resources. There is no undo. An agent calling these in a retry loop causes irreversible damage.
Write operations (bugsnag_set_network_endpoint_groupings, bugsnag_update_error, collaborator_create_collaborator_remote_system_configuration) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.
Execute tools (collaborator_reviewservice_action, contract-testing_can_i_deploy, qmetry_link_issues_to_testcase_run) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.
Intercept sits between your agent and SmartBear MCP. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

Yes. The SmartBear MCP server exposes 5 destructive tools including collaborator_delete_collaborator_remote_system_configuration, reflect_cancel_suite_execution, reflect_delete_previous_step. These permanently remove resources with no undo. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.
The SmartBear MCP server has 46 write tools including bugsnag_set_network_endpoint_groupings, bugsnag_update_error, collaborator_create_collaborator_remote_system_configuration. 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.
147 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 91 are read-only. 56 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the SmartBear MCP server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c smartbear-mcp.yaml -- npx -y @@smartbear/mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/smartbear-mcp 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.
