What social-profile-set does on Nostr Bray
AI agents use social-profile-set 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 social-profile-set is rated Medium
This tool modifies (creates or updates) a Nostr kind 0 profile, which is user profile metadata. While the action is reversible (profiles can be changed again), it affects identity/reputation data and requires confirmation to overwrite, placing it in the Write category rather than Read.
From the tool's definition "Set the kind 0 profile for the active identity" and "set confirm: true to overwrite" indicates the tool creates or modifies profile data. The warning about existing profiles and explicit overwrite mechanism confirms it performs a reversible write operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs social-profile-set 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 social-profile-set, this is the rule to start with:
social-profile-set 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 social-profile-set call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about social-profile-set
Set the kind 0 profile for the active identity. Warns if profile already exists — set confirm: true to overwrite. Profile fields may be supplied either as top-level arguments or wrapped in a single. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Nostr Bray MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Nostr Bray MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for social-profile-set: 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.
social-profile-set 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 social-profile-set 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 social-profile-set. 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.
social-profile-set 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.
