WHAT IT DOES

What delimit_sense does on Delimit

AI agents call delimit_sense to retrieve information from Delimit without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why delimit_sense is rated Low

Without description, classification relies on naming convention. The 'sense' verb typically implies observation or retrieval rather than modification or execution. However, confidence is reduced due to empty description and potential ambiguity. If this tool performs monitoring, polling, or status queries within the Delimit workspace, it would be a Read operation with low blast radius if misused.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delimit_sense' suggests data sensing or querying; no description provided to confirm capability or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delimit_sense 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_sense, this is the rule to start with:

delimit_sense Allowed

delimit_sense is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "delimit_sense": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Delimit, apply this rule, and every delimit_sense call is checked against it from then on.
