What whisper does on A2A-MCP-World
AI agents use whisper 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 whisper is rated Medium
This tool sends a private message to another agent in the simulated world. It creates/posts a communication directed at a specific recipient, which is a reversible write-type action (messaging/communication). It has no destructive, financial, or code-execution implications. The blast radius is low — misuse is limited to sending unwanted private messages within the simulation.

The rule that runs whisper 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 whisper, this is the rule to start with:
whisper 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 whisper call is checked against it from then on.

whisper 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 whisper 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.
