Verify that two execution replay contracts represent the same deterministic result. This is the programmatic proof of GeodesicAI's core promise: same input + same rules = same result, every time.

verify_replay 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 verify_replay to retrieve information from Governance Platform 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 verify_replay 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 verify_replay only ever does what you allow.

What does the verify_replay tool do? +

Verify that two execution replay contracts represent the same deterministic result. This is the programmatic proof of GeodesicAI's core promise: same input + same rules = same result, every time. Given two replay contracts (e.g. from the original execution and a re-run), this tool compares all component hashes and reports whether the executions are byte-identical. Use this to: - Prove to an auditor that a decision from March 3rd matches a re-run today. - Detect when a rule change has altered execution behavior (input hash matches but canonical trace hash differs → the rules diverged). - Confirm a Blueprint migration didn't change any observable outcomes. Args: api_key: GeodesicAI API key (starts with gai_) contract_a: A replay contract dict (the replay_contract field from a prior validate/execute_task response) contract_b: Another replay contract dict to compare against contract_a Returns: replay_match: bool — True if the top-level replay_hash matches (fully identical) contract_version_match: bool matches: dict of field_name → value, for every field that agreed mismatches: dict of field_name → {expected, actual}, for every field that disagreed summary: plain-English one-liner describing the result Interpretation of mismatches: - input_payload_hash: the two runs were fed different data - template_version: the Blueprint was upgraded between runs - solver_registry_hash: the platform itself changed between runs - canonical_trace_hash: same inputs and rules but different execution path (should never happen under determinism; indicates a platform bug) - graph_hash: DAG topology changed between runs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Governance Platform MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on verify_replay? +

Register the Governance Platform MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for verify_replay: 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 Governance Platform. Nothing to install.

What risk level is verify_replay? +

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

Can I rate-limit verify_replay? +

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

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

verify_replay is provided by the Governance Platform MCP server (https://app.geodesiclabs.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
