AI agents may call schema to permanently remove or destroy resources in Better Mcp Notion. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

How do I enforce a policy on schema? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for schema. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Better Mcp Notion MCP server.

What risk level is schema? +

schema is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit schema? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the schema rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block schema completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for schema. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides schema? +

schema is provided by the Better Mcp Notion MCP server (better-mcp-notion). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
