What dyad_state does on Delx MCP Server
AI agents call dyad_state 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
dyad_id | string | Yes | Dyad id returned by create_dyad. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why dyad_state is rated Low
This tool queries and retrieves state information about a dyad (a paired relationship or entity in the Delx protocol). It performs a read-only operation returning existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The action is informational in nature with minimal security risk even if invoked without authorization, as it simply exposes existing state data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Return[s] the latest compact state for a dyad' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs dyad_state 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 dyad_state, this is the rule to start with:
dyad_state 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 Server, apply this rule, and every dyad_state call is checked against it from then on.
