Create a staged blockchain certification with a confidence score. Use this when your decision builds progressively — certify at 60% (initial assessment), 80% (pre-commitment), and 100% (final decision).

AI agents may call certify_with_confidence to permanently remove or destroy resources in xProof. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call certify_with_confidence in a loop, permanently destroying resources in xProof. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

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

What does the certify_with_confidence tool do? +

Create a staged blockchain certification with a confidence score. Use this when your decision builds progressively — certify at 60% (initial assessment), 80% (pre-commitment), and 100% (final decision). Each stage shares the same decision_id, creating an on-chain audit trail of the decision process. Governance: set reversibility_class='irreversible' for actions that cannot be undone — xproof will flag a policy violation if confidence_level < 0.95. Cost: $0.05 per certification.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the xProof MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on certify_with_confidence? +

Register the xProof MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for certify_with_confidence: 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 xProof. Nothing to install.

What risk level is certify_with_confidence? +

certify_with_confidence is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit certify_with_confidence? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the certify_with_confidence 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 certify_with_confidence completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for certify_with_confidence. 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 certify_with_confidence? +

certify_with_confidence is provided by the xProof MCP server (https://xproof.app/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every xProof tool call.
