pot_verify

Verify a Proof of Time using its hash and integrity shards. Returns validity, mode (turbo/full), and timestamp.

Part of the Ttt server.

pot_verify is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call pot_verify to retrieve information from Ttt without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though pot_verify only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so pot_verify only ever does what you allow.

What does the pot_verify tool do? +

Verify a Proof of Time using its hash and integrity shards. Returns validity, mode (turbo/full), and timestamp.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ttt MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on pot_verify? +

Register the Ttt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pot_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 Ttt. Nothing to install.

What risk level is pot_verify? +

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

Can I rate-limit pot_verify? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pot_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.

How do I block pot_verify completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pot_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.

What MCP server provides pot_verify? +

pot_verify is provided by the Ttt MCP server (@helm-protocol/ttt-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ttt tool call.
