Part of the Sipflow server.

parse_sdp can trigger actions in Sipflow, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke parse_sdp to trigger processes or run actions in Sipflow. 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.

parse_sdp 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 parse_sdp gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so parse_sdp only ever does what you allow.

What does the parse_sdp tool do? +

[cost: free (pure CPU, no network) | read-only] Parse a Session Description Protocol body and return a structured view: origin, session, timing, per-media codecs (rtpmap + fmtp), direction, DTLS setup + fingerprint, ICE credentials + candidates, rtcp-mux, BUNDLE groups, fax-relay (m=image udptl t38 plus the a=T38Fax* attribute family), and crypto attributes. Useful for debugging WebRTC ↔ SIP interop (codec negotiation, DTLS-SRTP fingerprints, ICE candidate gathering, bundle alignment), and for inspecting fax negotiation (T.38 reinvite SDP, T38FaxMaxBuffer/T38FaxUdpEC/T38FaxRateManagement) without an LLM having to re-derive the SDP grammar each call. Pair with: compare_sdp_offer_answer when the user has both halves of the negotiation (including T.30→T.38 reinvites); webrtc_sip_checklist for the bridge-config angle.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Sipflow MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on parse_sdp? +

Register the Sipflow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for parse_sdp: 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 Sipflow. Nothing to install.

What risk level is parse_sdp? +

parse_sdp is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit parse_sdp? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the parse_sdp 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.

How do I block parse_sdp completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for parse_sdp. 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.

What MCP server provides parse_sdp? +

parse_sdp is provided by the Sipflow MCP server (https://mcp.sipflow.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Sipflow tool call.
