get_derivation_message

Get the message that must be signed with your wallet to derive an ERC-8004 agent key. Sign this message with personal_sign, then pass the signature to configure_wallet.

Part of the Agent0 MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call get_derivation_message to retrieve information from Agent0 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 get_derivation_message 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.

What does the get_derivation_message tool do? +

Get the message that must be signed with your wallet to derive an ERC-8004 agent key. Sign this message with personal_sign, then pass the signature to configure_wallet.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agent0 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_derivation_message? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_derivation_message. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Agent0 MCP server.

What risk level is get_derivation_message? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_derivation_message? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_derivation_message rule in your Intercept 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 get_derivation_message completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for get_derivation_message. 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 get_derivation_message? +

get_derivation_message is provided by the Agent0 MCP server (@rickydata/agent0-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
