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

One command. Full control.

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