| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
fixed_cost | number | Yes | Input field: fixed_cost. |
contribution_per_unit | number | Yes | Input field: contribution_per_unit. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why util_break_even is rated Low
Even though util_break_even 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_break_even 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_break_even, this is the rule to start with:
util_break_even 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_break_even call is checked against it from then on.
