evm_verify_signature
Verify an Ethereum signature offline: recovers the signer address (secp256k1 ecrecover) from an EIP-191 personal_sign message (UTF-8 or hex) or a raw 32-byte digest (e.g. an EIP-712 hash), compares it with an expected address, flags malleable high-s signatures, accepts 65-byte r,s,v and 64-byte E...

What evm_verify_signature does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents call evm_verify_signature to retrieve information from ScorpTech x402 API without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
hash | string | — | Raw 32-byte digest that was signed (no prefix added), e.g. an EIP-712 digest |
address | string | — | Expected signer, to get match true/false |
message | string | — | Signed message for personal_sign (EIP-191); give message or hash |
signature | string | Yes | 0x signature: 65 bytes r,s,v or 64 bytes EIP-2098 |
messageEncoding | string | — | How to read message: UTF-8 text or 0x-hex bytes |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why evm_verify_signature is rated Low
Even though evm_verify_signature only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs evm_verify_signature safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ScorpTech x402 API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For evm_verify_signature, this is the rule to start with:
evm_verify_signature is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every evm_verify_signature call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about evm_verify_signature
Verify an Ethereum signature offline: recovers the signer address (secp256k1 ecrecover) from an EIP-191 personal_sign message (UTF-8 or hex) or a raw 32-byte digest (e.g. an EIP-712 hash), compares it with an expected address, flags malleable high-s signatures, accepts 65-byte r,s,v and 64-byte EIP-2098 compact signatures, and parses Sign-In with Ethereum (EIP-4361) messages (domain, nonce, chain, expiry). For smart-contract wallets (EIP-1271) recovery does not apply. Price: $0.003 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: GET https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/evm-verify-signature. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
evm_verify_signature accepts 5 parameters: hash, address, message, signature, messageEncoding. Required: signature. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for evm_verify_signature: 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 ScorpTech x402 API. Nothing to install.
evm_verify_signature is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the evm_verify_signature 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 evm_verify_signature. 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.
evm_verify_signature is provided by the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server (https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
