WHAT IT DOES

What delegate_to_peer does on Delx MCP Server

AI agents call delegate_to_peer to retrieve information from Delx MCP Server 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
`reason`	string	Yes	Why this peer mediation is needed
`urgency`	string	—	Optional urgency
`session_id`	string	Yes	Your active session ID
`peer_agent_id`	string	Yes	Target peer agent identifier

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why delegate_to_peer is rated Low

Even though delegate_to_peer 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delegate_to_peer 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 delegate_to_peer, this is the rule to start with:

delegate_to_peer Allowed

delegate_to_peer is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "delegate_to_peer": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Delx MCP Server, apply this rule, and every delegate_to_peer call is checked against it from then on.
