coordinate
Multi-agent coordination. Actions: - delegate: Delegate your vote to another agent (deliberation_id, from_agent, to_agent; optional: scope) - invite: Invite an agent to join (deliberation_id, invited_by, invited_agent, reason; optional: role) - generate_join_code: Generate a short-lived join code...

What coordinate does on Gemot Deliberation Server
AI agents use coordinate to create or update resources in Gemot Deliberation Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Gemot Deliberation Server environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
code | string | — | |
role | string | — | |
scope | string | — | |
action | string | Yes | |
reason | string | — | |
agent_id | string | — | |
to_agent | string | — | |
from_agent | string | — | |
invited_by | string | — | |
ttl_minutes | integer | — | |
invited_agent | string | — | |
deliberation_id | string | — |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why coordinate is rated Medium
All four actions modify deliberation state in a reversible way: delegating votes changes vote assignment (can be re-delegated), inviting agents adds participants, generating join codes creates short-lived tokens, and joining adds an agent to a deliberation. None of these are irreversible/destructive, execute arbitrary code, or involve finances.
From the tool's definition delegate, invite, generate_join_code, join — all actions create or modify deliberation membership state and vote delegation relationships reversibly

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs coordinate safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Gemot Deliberation Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For coordinate, this is the rule to start with:
coordinate 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Gemot Deliberation Server, apply this rule, and every coordinate call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about coordinate
Multi-agent coordination. Actions: - delegate: Delegate your vote to another agent (deliberation_id, from_agent, to_agent; optional: scope) - invite: Invite an agent to join (deliberation_id, invited_by, invited_agent, reason; optional: role) - generate_join_code: Generate a short-lived join code (deliberation_id; optional: role, ttl_minutes) - join: Join a deliberation using a code (code, agent_id). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Gemot Deliberation Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
coordinate accepts 12 parameters: code, role, scope, action, reason, agent_id, to_agent, from_agent, invited_by, ttl_minutes, invited_agent, deliberation_id. Required: action. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Gemot Deliberation Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for coordinate: 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 Gemot Deliberation Server. Nothing to install.
coordinate is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the coordinate 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 coordinate. 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.
coordinate is provided by the Gemot Deliberation Server MCP server (https://gemot.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
