What delimit_build_loop does on Delimit
AI agents invoke delimit_build_loop to trigger actions in Delimit. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why delimit_build_loop is rated High
A 'build_loop' typically executes code or automated processes iteratively, which falls under Execute category. The empty description reduces confidence, but the name combined with the server's purpose (managing AI coding assistant workspaces and task dispatch) suggests this tool runs or orchestrates build operations whose effects depend on configuration and context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delimit_build_loop' suggests execution of a build or iterative loop process. Context includes sibling tools like 'delimit_agent_dispatch' and 'delimit_agent_complete' indicating orchestration of agent tasks.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delimit_build_loop 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_build_loop, this is the rule to start with:
delimit_build_loop stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Delimit, apply this rule, and every delimit_build_loop call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about delimit_build_loop
delimit_build_loop is a execute tool on the Delimit MCP server. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Delimit MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Delimit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delimit_build_loop: 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 Delimit. Nothing to install.
delimit_build_loop is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delimit_build_loop 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 delimit_build_loop. 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.
delimit_build_loop is provided by the Delimit MCP server (delimit-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
