check_attestations

Check domain-specific attestations for an AI agent wallet on xproof. Returns active attestations issued by third-party certifying bodies (healthcare, finance, legal, security, research). Each active attestation adds +50 to the agent's trust score (max +150 from 3 attestations). Use this to verify...

Part of the xProof server.

check_attestations 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 check_attestations to retrieve information from xProof 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 check_attestations 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access check_attestations gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the check_attestations tool do? +

Check domain-specific attestations for an AI agent wallet on xproof. Returns active attestations issued by third-party certifying bodies (healthcare, finance, legal, security, research). Each active attestation adds +50 to the agent's trust score (max +150 from 3 attestations). Use this to verify an agent's credentials before delegating a sensitive task.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the xProof MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on check_attestations? +

Register the xProof MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for check_attestations: 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 check_attestations? +

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

Can I rate-limit check_attestations? +

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

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

check_attestations 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.
