consensus

Gather perspectives from multiple AI models and synthesize a comprehensive consensus analysis. Use this to get different viewpoints on proposals, decisions, or complex topics by consulting multiple models with different stances (for/against/neutral).

How to control consensus ↓

AI agents invoke consensus to trigger actions in Ultra MCP. 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.

High Risk

This tool triggers external operations by calling multiple AI model APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, etc.) with arguments, synthesizing results. It executes queries against external AI providers whose effects depend on the input arguments. No data is permanently written or destroyed, but external API calls are made and resources consumed, placing this in Execute rather than Read.

From the tool's definition 'Gather perspectives from multiple AI models and synthesize a comprehensive consensus analysis' and 'consulting multiple models with different stances'

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access consensus gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ultra MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for consensus:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "consensus": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "consensus_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

consensus 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Ultra MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the consensus tool do? +

Gather perspectives from multiple AI models and synthesize a comprehensive consensus analysis. Use this to get different viewpoints on proposals, decisions, or complex topics by consulting multiple models with different stances (for/against/neutral). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Ultra MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on consensus? +

Register the Ultra MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for consensus: 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 Ultra MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is consensus? +

consensus is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit consensus? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the consensus 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 consensus completely? +

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

consensus is provided by the Ultra MCP server (realmikechong/ultra-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ultra MCP tool call.
