WHAT IT DOES

What delegate_to_peer does on Delx MCP Server

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`reason`	string	—	Why this peer mediation is needed
`urgency`	string	—	Optional urgency
`session_id`	string	—	Your active session ID
`peer_agent_id`	string	—	Target peer agent identifier
`response_mode`	string	—	Optional response-mode control. Use model_safe when the caller must avoid claiming consciousness, sentience, personhood, or literal emotions.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why delegate_to_peer is rated Medium

The tool creates (generates) a mediation packet and sends/delegates it to another agent, which is a write/create operation with side effects in a multi-agent environment. It does not execute code directly, but it triggers inter-agent communication. Severity is medium because misuse could cause unintended agent actions or information leakage across agents.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delegate_to_peer safely

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

delegate_to_peer Rate-limited

delegate_to_peer 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.
