Use Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy. Write YAML rules for each tool — rate limits, argument validation, or deny rules — then run Intercept in front of the Obsidian server.
Obsidian tools are categorised as Read (13), Write (9), Destructive (3). Each category has a recommended default policy.
Open source. One binary. Zero dependencies.
