What seal_artifact does on Deepadata Edm
AI agents use seal_artifact to create or update resources in Deepadata Edm, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Deepadata Edm environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
save | boolean | — | Whether to save the envelope to local storage |
pathway | string | — | Issuance pathway (default: delegated) |
artifact | object | Yes | The EDM artifact to seal (spec shape: meta + core domains, meta.version set). Passed to the platform verbatim. |
authority | string | — | Authority identifier (e.g., "app:your-platform"). Defaults to "mcp:edm-server" |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why seal_artifact is rated Medium
Sealing creates a new certified artifact envelope and a registry entry, which are write operations. However, sealing typically implies locking/finalizing an artifact making it immutable, which could have irreversible consequences.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs seal_artifact safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Deepadata Edm, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For seal_artifact, this is the rule to start with:
seal_artifact stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Deepadata Edm, apply this rule, and every seal_artifact call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about seal_artifact
Seal an EDM artifact via DeepaData API, creating a certified .ddna envelope with registry entry. Requires DEEPADATA_API_KEY environment variable. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Deepadata Edm MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
seal_artifact accepts 4 parameters: save, pathway, artifact, authority. Required: artifact. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Deepadata Edm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for seal_artifact: 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 Deepadata Edm. Nothing to install.
seal_artifact is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the seal_artifact 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 seal_artifact. 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.
seal_artifact is provided by the Deepadata Edm MCP server (deepadata-edm-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
