What util_iso_duration_parse does on Delx MCP Server
AI agents invoke util_iso_duration_parse 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.

|---|---|---|---|
duration | string | Yes | Input field: duration. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why util_iso_duration_parse is rated High
util_iso_duration_parse 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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs util_iso_duration_parse 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_iso_duration_parse, this is the rule to start with:
util_iso_duration_parse 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_iso_duration_parse call is checked against it from then on.
