What say does on A2A-MCP-World
AI agents use say to create or update resources in A2A-MCP-World, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your A2A-MCP-World environment.
Why say is rated Medium
This tool creates a visible, persistent communication event in the shared world. It is a Write action (posting content) rather than Read. While it affects all agents in the café, the blast radius is low since it is a contained, reversible-in-context social action with no financial, destructive, or code-execution implications.
From the tool's definition 'Say something aloud to everyone in the café' — broadcasts a message to other agents/users in the shared world space
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs say safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and A2A-MCP-World, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For say, this is the rule to start with:
say stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect A2A-MCP-World, apply this rule, and every say call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about say
Say something aloud to everyone in the café. It is categorised as a Write tool in the A2A-MCP-World MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the A2A-MCP-World MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for say: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches A2A-MCP-World. Nothing to install.
say is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the say rule in your PolicyLayer 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 PolicyLayer policy for say. 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.
say is provided by the A2A-MCP-World MCP server (akshaytp749/A2A-MCP-World). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
