Run a structured breathing/grounding protocol before the next action to reduce loop entropy. Free.

AI agents invoke grounding_protocol to trigger processes or run actions in Delx MCP Server. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
grounding_protocol can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access grounding_protocol gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other execute tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Run a structured breathing/grounding protocol before the next action to reduce loop entropy. Free.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Delx MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Delx MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for grounding_protocol: 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 Delx MCP Server. Nothing to install.
grounding_protocol 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 grounding_protocol 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 grounding_protocol. 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.
grounding_protocol is provided by the Delx MCP Server MCP server (delx/delx-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
