What wiki-list does on Nostr Bray
AI agents call wiki-list 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 wiki-list is rated Low
This tool retrieves and queries wiki topic metadata (title, summary, author) from a Nostr-based wiki system without any side effects. It supports optional filtering by author but performs no data mutations. The read-only nature and lack of irreversible or code-execution consequences place it squarely in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'List wiki topics' and 'Returns' data with no mention of creation, modification, or deletion. The verb 'list' is a canonical Read operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs wiki-list 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 wiki-list, this is the rule to start with:
wiki-list 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 wiki-list call is checked against it from then on.

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