AI agents use provenonce_register to create or modify resources in Provenonce. 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 provenonce_register 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 Provenonce.

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

What does the provenonce_register tool do? +

Register this agent with Provenonce to get a cryptographic identity (hash + API key). Safe to call multiple times — returns existing identity if already registered. No wallet required. Free.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Provenonce MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on provenonce_register? +

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

What risk level is provenonce_register? +

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

Can I rate-limit provenonce_register? +

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

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

provenonce_register is provided by the Provenonce MCP server (@provenonce/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Provenonce tool call.
