network_intercept

Add or remove network intercept rules. Block requests (ads, trackers), mock API responses, or log specific traffic. Use action='remove' with ruleId to remove an existing rule.

Part of the Leapfrog server.

network_intercept can permanently delete data in Leapfrog, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

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

Without a policy, an AI agent could call network_intercept in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Leapfrog. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access network_intercept gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so network_intercept only ever does what you allow.

What does the network_intercept tool do? +

Add or remove network intercept rules. Block requests (ads, trackers), mock API responses, or log specific traffic. Use action='remove' with ruleId to remove an existing rule.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Leapfrog MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on network_intercept? +

Register the Leapfrog MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for network_intercept: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Leapfrog. Nothing to install.

What risk level is network_intercept? +

network_intercept 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 network_intercept? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the network_intercept rule in your PolicyLayer 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 network_intercept completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for network_intercept. 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 network_intercept? +

network_intercept is provided by the Leapfrog MCP server (leapfrog-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Leapfrog tool call.
