WHAT IT DOES

What delimit_activate does on Delimit

AI agents use delimit_activate to create or update resources in Delimit, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Delimit environment.

RISK

Why delimit_activate is rated Medium

An AI agent can call delimit_activate faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Delimit by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delimit_activate safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Delimit, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delimit_activate, this is the rule to start with:

delimit_activate Rate-limited

delimit_activate 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.
