WHAT IT DOES

What safety-activate does on Nostr Bray

AI agents use safety-activate 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.

RISK

Why safety-activate is rated Medium

This tool modifies identity configuration, which is a reversible state change (switching between configurations). It does not execute code or trigger external operations based on arbitrary arguments (Execute), does not permanently delete data (Destructive), and does not involve financial transactions (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'safety-activate' combined with description 'Switch to an alternative identity configuration' indicates modification of identity state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs safety-activate 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 safety-activate, this is the rule to start with:

safety-activate Rate-limited

safety-activate 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.
