WHAT IT DOES

What encode-nprofile does on Nostr Bray

AI agents call encode-nprofile 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.

RISK

Why encode-nprofile is rated Low

This is a pure data transformation utility. It takes input parameters (a hex public key and relay hints) and encodes them into a standardized Nostr format (bech32 nprofile). No data is modified, created, deleted, or persisted. No external state is changed. The operation is deterministic and reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool performs encoding/transformation of existing data (hex pubkey + relay hints → bech32 nprofile) with no side effects, data creation, deletion, or external operations triggered.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs encode-nprofile 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 encode-nprofile, this is the rule to start with:

encode-nprofile Allowed

encode-nprofile is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "encode-nprofile": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nostr Bray, apply this rule, and every encode-nprofile call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about encode-nprofile

What does the encode-nprofile tool do? +

Encode a hex pubkey with relay hints as a bech32 nprofile. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nostr Bray MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on encode-nprofile? +

Register the Nostr Bray MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for encode-nprofile: 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 Nostr Bray. Nothing to install.

What risk level is encode-nprofile? +

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

Can I rate-limit encode-nprofile? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the encode-nprofile 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 encode-nprofile completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for encode-nprofile. 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 encode-nprofile? +

encode-nprofile is provided by the Nostr Bray MCP server (nostr-bray). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
