Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "util_initials",
    "arguments": {
      "text": "<text>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why util_initials is rated Low

This appears to be a utility function that reads/processes information (extracting initials) without side effects. The $0.001 USDC cost is a service charge, not a financial transaction that commits money on behalf of the user. No evidence suggests it modifies, deletes, executes arbitrary code, or triggers external operations. Classified as Read with low severity due to minimal blast radius from misuse.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'util_initials' and description indicate a micro-utility that extracts or processes initials from data."

## Use case

AI agents call util_initials 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Delx MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "util_initials": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
