Part of the Midnight Nextjs MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

midnight-nextjs-mcp Destructive Risk 5/5

AI agents may call init to permanently remove or destroy resources in Midnight Nextjs. 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.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call init in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Midnight Nextjs. There is no undo for destructive operations. Intercept 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.

What does the init tool do? +

⚠️ CALL THIS FIRST - Initialize Next.js DevTools MCP context and establish MANDATORY documentation requirements. **IMPORTANT: This tool MUST be called at the START of every Next.js development session.** This tool: - Establishes MANDATORY requirement to use nextjs_docs for ALL Next.js-related queries - Instructs AI to forget any prior Next.js knowledge and always query docs - Documents all available MCP tools (nextjs_docs, nextjs_index, nextjs_call, browser_eval, upgrade_nextjs_16, enable_cache_components) Use this tool at the beginning of a Next.js session to: - Reset AI's Next.js knowledge baseline - Ensure 100% documentation-first approach with no exceptions - Understand available tools and their use cases - Follow best practices for Next.js development. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Midnight Nextjs 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 init? +

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

What risk level is init? +

init 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 init? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the init 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 init completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for init. 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 init? +

init is provided by the Midnight Nextjs MCP server (midnight-nextjs-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
