What network_add_interceptor does on Mcp Anything
AI agents invoke network_add_interceptor to trigger actions in Mcp Anything. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why network_add_interceptor is rated High
The name 'network_add_interceptor' strongly implies the tool installs a network interceptor, which is an active operation that modifies how network traffic is handled. This falls under Execute as it triggers an external operation affecting network behavior. The absence of a description lowers confidence, but the name alone suggests this is not a simple read or write operation.

The rule that runs network_add_interceptor safely

network_add_interceptor stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Anything, apply this rule, and every network_add_interceptor call is checked against it from then on.
