# retry_dlq_entry

Re-enqueue a DLQ entry to the main relay stream and delete it from the DLQ. A replay is billed like any relay — it charges the entry's original credit cost to the project before re-sending; if the balance is too low the entry stays in the DLQ and this returns an insufficient-credits error (top up and retry). Succeeds if the entry exists, errors if it's already gone (retried or discarded). Requires edit access.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "retry_dlq_entry",
    "arguments": {
      "id": "<id>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why retry_dlq_entry is rated Critical

This tool incurs a financial charge (credits deducted from the project balance) as a direct consequence of its operation, placing it in the Financial category. It also deletes the DLQ entry (Destructive), but Financial supersedes Destructive per the severity rules. Misuse could drain project credits by repeatedly re-enqueuing expensive entries.

From the tool's own definition: "A replay is billed like any relay — it charges the entry's original credit cost to the project before re-sending; if the balance is too low the entry stays in the DLQ"

## Use case

AI agents use retry_dlq_entry to commit financial operations through EchoRelay, usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Approval-gated**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches EchoRelay:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "retry_dlq_entry": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
