WHAT IT DOES

What util_base_block_time_estimate does on Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity

AI agents call util_base_block_time_estimate 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
`duration_seconds`	integer	Yes	Duration Seconds supplied to Base Block Time Estimate; used only for this bounded calculation and processed in memory without retention.
`assumed_block_seconds`	number	Yes	Assumed Block Seconds supplied to Base Block Time Estimate; used only for this bounded calculation and processed in memory without retention.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why util_base_block_time_estimate is rated Low

Even though util_base_block_time_estimate 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.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

util_base_block_time_estimate Allowed

util_base_block_time_estimate 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 util_base_block_time_estimate call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about util_base_block_time_estimate

What does the util_base_block_time_estimate tool do? +

Base Block Time Estimate estimates block count from a caller-supplied duration and block-time assumption from bounded caller-supplied values without an external provider. Call Base Block Time Estimate before signing, submitting, replacing, or accepting an EVM/Base transaction assembled from caller-owned data. Returns normalized transaction evidence, calculated budget or shape findings, and a fail-closed preflight status for Base Block Time Estimate as versioned deterministic JSON. Limitation: Uses caller-supplied values only; it performs no RPC call, signing, broadcasting, balance lookup, custody, trading, or live-chain claim. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does util_base_block_time_estimate accept? +

util_base_block_time_estimate accepts 2 parameters: duration_seconds, assumed_block_seconds. Required: duration_seconds, assumed_block_seconds. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on util_base_block_time_estimate? +

Register the Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for util_base_block_time_estimate: 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 Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity. Nothing to install.

What risk level is util_base_block_time_estimate? +

util_base_block_time_estimate is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit util_base_block_time_estimate? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the util_base_block_time_estimate 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_base_block_time_estimate completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for util_base_block_time_estimate. 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_base_block_time_estimate? +

util_base_block_time_estimate is provided by the Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity MCP server (https://api.delx.ai/v1/mcp?src=registry). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
