What trust-verify does on Nostr Bray
AI agents call trust-verify 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 trust-verify is rated Low
This tool performs validation and correctness checking of Nostr attestation events. It queries or inspects data to verify compliance with a schema or format, with no side effects. This is a read-only operation that retrieves information about an event's structural validity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'trust-verify' and description 'Validate the structural correctness of a kind 31000 attestation event' indicate a verification/validation operation that checks the structure of an event without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations.

The rule that runs trust-verify 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 trust-verify, this is the rule to start with:
trust-verify 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 trust-verify call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about trust-verify
Validate the structural correctness of a kind 31000 attestation event. 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 trust-verify: 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.
trust-verify 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 trust-verify 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 trust-verify. 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.
trust-verify 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.
