What delimit_siem does on Delimit
AI agents call delimit_siem 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.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delimit_siem 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_siem, this is the rule to start with:
delimit_siem is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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_siem call is checked against it from then on.
