WHAT IT DOES

What util_categorical_distribution does on Delx MCP Server

AI agents invoke util_categorical_distribution to trigger actions in Delx MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`values`	array	Yes	Input field: values.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why util_categorical_distribution is rated High

util_categorical_distribution triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

util_categorical_distribution Rate-limited

util_categorical_distribution stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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 util_categorical_distribution call is checked against it from then on.

Questions about util_categorical_distribution

What does the util_categorical_distribution tool do? +

Build a bounded frequency distribution for categorical values. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Delx MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

What parameters does util_categorical_distribution accept? +

util_categorical_distribution accepts 1 parameter: values. Required: values. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on util_categorical_distribution? +

What risk level is util_categorical_distribution? +

util_categorical_distribution is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit util_categorical_distribution? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the util_categorical_distribution rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block util_categorical_distribution completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for util_categorical_distribution. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides util_categorical_distribution? +

util_categorical_distribution is provided by the Delx MCP Server MCP server (delx-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
