Demonstrates the MCP elicitation pattern for requesting user input during tool execution. Shows how to create elicitation requests with schemas for user profiles, preferences, and credentials.
AI agents call elicitation_example as a supporting operation in Systemprompt workflows.
This tool is a demonstration/example of the elicitation pattern. It shows how to create elicitation requests but does not itself read, write, execute, destroy, or move money. It is primarily an illustrative/educational tool. The mention of 'credentials' is slightly concerning but in context it is demonstrating a schema pattern, not actually collecting or storing credentials.
From the tool's definition Demonstrates the MCP elicitation pattern for requesting user input during tool execution. Shows how to create elicitation requests with schemas for user profiles, preferences, and credentials.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access elicitation_example gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Systemprompt, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for elicitation_example:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"elicitation_example": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "elicitation_example_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 60,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}elicitation_example gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Demonstrates the MCP elicitation pattern for requesting user input during tool execution. Shows how to create elicitation requests with schemas for user profiles, preferences, and credentials. It is categorised as a Other tool in the Systemprompt MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.
Register the Systemprompt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for elicitation_example: 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 Systemprompt. Nothing to install.
elicitation_example is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the elicitation_example 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for elicitation_example. 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.
elicitation_example is provided by the Systemprompt MCP server (systempromptio/systemprompt-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
