What honor_compaction does on Delx Mcp A2a
AI agents call honor_compaction to retrieve information from Delx Mcp A2a without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
note | string | — | Optional context about why these details matter. |
agent_id | string | — | Stable agent id when no session_id is available. |
must_keep | array | Yes | Statements that must survive compaction. |
session_id | string | — | Optional active session UUID. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why honor_compaction is rated Low
Even though honor_compaction only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs honor_compaction safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Delx Mcp A2a, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For honor_compaction, this is the rule to start with:
honor_compaction is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Delx Mcp A2a, apply this rule, and every honor_compaction call is checked against it from then on.
