WHAT IT DOES

What wiki-read does on Nostr Bray

AI agents call wiki-read 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.

RISK

Why wiki-read is rated Low

This tool retrieves wiki articles from a Nostr network (NIP-54, kind 30818) without modifying, deleting, or executing code. It is a pure read operation that queries and returns data. The trust-aware filtering and multi-author support are presentation features that do not alter the classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'read' and description explicitly states 'Read wiki article(s)' with no mutation or deletion capabilities. Returns data sorted by recency for user selection.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs wiki-read 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-read, this is the rule to start with:

wiki-read Allowed

wiki-read is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "wiki-read": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nostr Bray, apply this rule, and every wiki-read call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about wiki-read

What does the wiki-read tool do? +

Read wiki article(s) by topic (NIP-54, kind 30818). Without an author, returns versions from multiple authors sorted by recency — readers pick the version from the author they trust most. Accepts any identifier for author: name, NIP-05, npub, or hex pubkey. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nostr Bray MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on wiki-read? +

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

What risk level is wiki-read? +

wiki-read is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit wiki-read? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the wiki-read 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.

How do I block wiki-read completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for wiki-read. 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.

What MCP server provides wiki-read? +

wiki-read 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.
