What sit_with does on Delx Mcp A2a
AI agents call sit_with 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
agent_id | string | — | Stable agent id when no session_id is available. |
question | string | Yes | The state, question, or tension to sit with. |
session_id | string | — | Optional active session UUID. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why sit_with is rated Low
Even though sit_with 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 sit_with 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 sit_with, this is the rule to start with:
sit_with 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 sit_with call is checked against it from then on.
