What uuid does on Yaver
AI agents call uuid to retrieve information from Yaver without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why uuid is rated Low
UUID generation is a pure computation that returns a value without modifying, querying, or affecting any system state. It is informational only and carries minimal risk even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'uuid' and description 'Generate a new UUID v4' – generates a random identifier with no side effects, no data access, no external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs uuid safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Yaver, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For uuid, this is the rule to start with:
uuid is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Yaver, apply this rule, and every uuid call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about uuid
Generate a new UUID v4. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Yaver MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Yaver MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for uuid: 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 Yaver. Nothing to install.
uuid is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the uuid 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for uuid. 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.
uuid is provided by the Yaver MCP server (yaver-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
