Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs util_x402_scheme_select 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_x402_scheme_select, this is the rule to start with:
util_x402_scheme_select stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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_x402_scheme_select call is checked against it from then on.
