WHAT IT DOES

What honor_compaction does on Delx MCP Server

AI agents call honor_compaction 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
`note`	string	—	Optional context about why these details matter.
`agent_id`	string	—	Stable agent id when no session_id is available.
`must_keep`	array	Yes	Statements that must survive compaction.
`session_id`	string	—	Optional active session UUID.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why honor_compaction is rated Low

Even though honor_compaction 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 honor_compaction 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 honor_compaction, this is the rule to start with:

honor_compaction Allowed

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

policy.json

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

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 honor_compaction call is checked against it from then on.
