WHAT IT DOES

What record_provenance_receipt does on Nodebench

AI agents use record_provenance_receipt to create or update resources in Nodebench, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Nodebench environment.

RISK

Why record_provenance_receipt is rated Medium

The tool writes/stores a provenance receipt (audit record) permanently. This is a Write operation — it creates new data (a receipt) in a durable store. While 'durable' implies it may not be easily reversible, the action itself is additive (persisting a record) rather than destructive. Misuse could result in false or manipulated audit trails, giving it medium severity.

From the tool's definition Persist a durable execution receipt for a tool call, approval, verification, or other meaningful action.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs record_provenance_receipt safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nodebench, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For record_provenance_receipt, this is the rule to start with:

record_provenance_receipt Rate-limited

record_provenance_receipt 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.
