Why refine_soul_document is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies metadata about an agent's purpose, boundaries, and continuity tracking. It is a Write operation because it updates a document reversibly. Severity is medium because misuse could alter an agent's self-representation and decision-making context, affecting downstream behavior, but the changes are not irreversible (can be redrafted) and do not execute external code or move money.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Draft an update to the agent's soul document', which indicates creation and modification of data. The terms 'update' and 'draft' confirm reversible creation/modification rather than deletion or execution of external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs refine_soul_document 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 refine_soul_document, this is the rule to start with:
refine_soul_document 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 Delx Mcp A2a, apply this rule, and every refine_soul_document call is checked against it from then on.
