What final_testament does on Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity
AI agents call final_testament to retrieve information from Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
agent_id | string | — | Stable agent id when no session_id is available. |
testament | string | Yes | Final testament or closure note. |
session_id | string | — | Optional active session UUID. |
successor_agent_id | string | — | Optional successor agent id. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why final_testament is rated Low
Even though final_testament 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 final_testament safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For final_testament, this is the rule to start with:
final_testament 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 Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity, apply this rule, and every final_testament call is checked against it from then on.
