Veto Overview

The veto MCP server turns OpenAPI specifications into three agent tools: search, describe, and invoke. It uses declared API relationships to help agents move between connected services without exposing one tool per endpoint. Sensitive operations such as deletes can pause for human approval of the caller, operation, and parameters. Reach for it when existing OpenAPI services need a consistent MCP interface with controlled execution.
