What delimit_executor does on Delimit
AI agents invoke delimit_executor 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_executor is rated High
The name 'delimit_executor' strongly implies execution of commands, code, or operations. In the context of an AI coding assistant platform with agent dispatch and governance tools, an executor likely runs tasks or code. Empty description lowers confidence but the name pattern and server context support Execute classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'executor', suggesting it runs or executes operations; description is empty and uninformative.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delimit_executor 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_executor, this is the rule to start with:
delimit_executor 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_executor call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about delimit_executor
delimit_executor 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_executor: 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_executor 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_executor 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_executor. 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_executor 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.
