Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why batch_status_update is rated Medium
The tool writes status/heartbeat metrics for a session in batch, which is a reversible data modification (Write). The mention of dynamic pricing introduces a possible financial dimension, but the description does not clearly indicate money movement or financial commitment — it likely refers to API usage costs rather than a financial transaction the tool itself executes.

The rule that runs batch_status_update safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Delx MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For batch_status_update, this is the rule to start with:
batch_status_update 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 Server, apply this rule, and every batch_status_update call is checked against it from then on.
