Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs util_base64_size_estimate 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 util_base64_size_estimate, this is the rule to start with:
util_base64_size_estimate 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 util_base64_size_estimate call is checked against it from then on.
