What util_ceil_n does on Delx MCP Server
AI agents call util_ceil_n 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.

value | number | Yes | Input field: value. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why util_ceil_n is rated Low
Even though util_ceil_n 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
The rule that runs util_ceil_n 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_ceil_n, this is the rule to start with:
util_ceil_n 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 util_ceil_n call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Delx MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for util_ceil_n: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Delx MCP Server. Nothing to install.
util_ceil_n is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the util_ceil_n 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for util_ceil_n. 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.
util_ceil_n 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.
