Medium Risk

submit_outcome

Submit the actual outcome for a decision previously anchored with metadata.confidence_level. Computes the confidence gap (anchored − actual) and stores it for calibration tracking. Operator-only — you must own the proof. Each proof can only have one outcome.

Part of the xProof server.

submit_outcome can modify xProof data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use submit_outcome to create or modify resources in xProof. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call submit_outcome repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach xProof.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access submit_outcome 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 submit_outcome only ever does what you allow.

What does the submit_outcome tool do? +

Submit the actual outcome for a decision previously anchored with metadata.confidence_level. Computes the confidence gap (anchored − actual) and stores it for calibration tracking. Operator-only — you must own the proof. Each proof can only have one outcome.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the xProof MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on submit_outcome? +

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

submit_outcome is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit submit_outcome? +

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

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

submit_outcome 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.
