WHAT IT DOES

What group-info does on Nostr Bray

AI agents call group-info 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 group-info is rated Low

This tool retrieves group information from a Nostr NIP-29 group without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The verb 'Fetch' and the scope (metadata only) confirm it is a Read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'group-info' and description 'Fetch group metadata' indicate a retrieval operation with no mutation or side effects. The metadata fields listed (name, about, picture) are read-only attributes.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs group-info 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 group-info, this is the rule to start with:

group-info Allowed

group-info 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": {
    "group-info": {}
  }
}

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 group-info call is checked against it from then on.
