Part of the Threejs Devtools MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents may call toggle_overlay to permanently remove or destroy resources in Threejs Devtools. 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 toggle_overlay in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Threejs Devtools. 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.

Click objects in the tree to highlight them with wireframe. Debug only — page reload will reset. Debug only — page reload will reset. No code changes needed.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Threejs Devtools MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for toggle_overlay. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Threejs Devtools MCP server.
toggle_overlay is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the toggle_overlay 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for toggle_overlay. 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.
toggle_overlay is provided by the Threejs Devtools MCP server (threejs-devtools-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
