What blossom-discover does on Nostr Bray
AI agents call blossom-discover to retrieve information from Nostr Bray without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why blossom-discover is rated Low
This tool retrieves and aggregates public Nostr event data (NIP-B7 server lists) from specified pubkeys. It queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The operation is informational only, similar to a search or list function. Blast radius is minimal since an AI agent can at worst learn what Blossom servers contacts use — public information by design in Nostr.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Fetches kind 10063 events' and 'aggregates unique server URLs' — these are query and retrieval operations with no modification or side effects. The verb 'Discover' and 'Fetches' indicate read-only data retrieval.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs blossom-discover 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 blossom-discover, this is the rule to start with:
blossom-discover 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 Nostr Bray, apply this rule, and every blossom-discover call is checked against it from then on.
