WHAT IT DOES

What badge-accept does on Nostr Bray

AI agents use badge-accept to create or update resources in Nostr Bray, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Nostr Bray environment.

RISK

Why badge-accept is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies user profile data (badge list) in a reversible manner. The user can remove badges later, making it Write rather than Destructive. Severity is medium because while it modifies user-controlled profile data, the blast radius is limited to cosmetic/identity metadata on a social platform without financial or access control implications.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Accept a badge and add it to your profile badges" and "Updates your profile badge list", indicating modification of user profile data via NIP-58 kind 30008.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs badge-accept safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nostr Bray, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For badge-accept, this is the rule to start with:

badge-accept Rate-limited

badge-accept 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.
