What privacy-verify-threshold does on Nostr Bray
AI agents call privacy-verify-threshold 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 privacy-verify-threshold is rated Low
This is a pure verification function with no data modification, deletion, or code execution. It reads/validates cryptographic proofs and returns a boolean result. The operation is deterministic, non-destructive, and has minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent (it simply returns true/false on arbitrary inputs). Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition The tool 'Verify a threshold proof' performs a cryptographic verification operation that checks a condition (committed value >= threshold) without revealing the underlying value.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs privacy-verify-threshold 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 privacy-verify-threshold, this is the rule to start with:
privacy-verify-threshold 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 privacy-verify-threshold call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about privacy-verify-threshold
Verify a threshold proof. Checks that the committed value is >= threshold without learning the value. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nostr Bray MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Nostr Bray MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for privacy-verify-threshold: 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.
privacy-verify-threshold is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the privacy-verify-threshold 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 privacy-verify-threshold. 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.
privacy-verify-threshold 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.
