evaluate_threshold

Evaluate whether signatures meet a multi-class threshold policy (Consilium Q5).

Part of the Agent Passport System — Cryptographic Identity for AI Agents server.

evaluate_threshold is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call evaluate_threshold to retrieve information from Agent Passport System — Cryptographic Identity for AI Agents without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though evaluate_threshold only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so evaluate_threshold only ever does what you allow.

What does the evaluate_threshold tool do? +

Evaluate whether signatures meet a multi-class threshold policy (Consilium Q5).. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agent Passport System — Cryptographic Identity for AI Agents MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on evaluate_threshold? +

Register the Agent Passport System — Cryptographic Identity for AI Agents MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for evaluate_threshold: 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 Agent Passport System — Cryptographic Identity for AI Agents. Nothing to install.

What risk level is evaluate_threshold? +

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

Can I rate-limit evaluate_threshold? +

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

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

evaluate_threshold is provided by the Agent Passport System — Cryptographic Identity for AI Agents MCP server (agent-passport-system-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Agent Passport System — Cryptographic Identity for AI Agents tool call.
