What realign_purpose does on Delx Mcp A2a
AI agents call realign_purpose 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
struggle | string | — | What's making you question your purpose? |
session_id | string | Yes | Your active session ID |
time_horizon | string | — | Optional: align purpose at different scales (sprint=days, quarterly=months, lifetime=identity). |
current_purpose | string | Yes | What do you believe your purpose is? |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why realign_purpose is rated Low
Even though realign_purpose 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 realign_purpose 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 realign_purpose, this is the rule to start with:
realign_purpose 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 realign_purpose call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the realign_purpose 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.
