What list-pin does on Nostr Bray
AI agents use list-pin 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.
Why list-pin is rated Medium
This tool manages (creates/modifies) a pinned events list on Nostr. Adding or removing pins is a reversible write operation — pins can be re-added or removed again. No code execution, deletion of underlying data, or financial action is involved. Severity is medium because misuse could alter a user's curated pin list in ways they didn't intend, but it's not irreversible.
From the tool's definition 'Add or remove event IDs from your pin list' — modifies a user's pin list by adding or removing entries
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list-pin 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 list-pin, this is the rule to start with:
list-pin 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 Nostr Bray, apply this rule, and every list-pin call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Nostr Bray MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list-pin: 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.
list-pin 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 list-pin 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 list-pin. 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.
list-pin 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.
