Register and protect digital content with ProofX cryptographic signatures. Computes the SHA-256 hash and registers it with ProofX for tamper-proof protection. Use this when a user wants to protect their text, article, poem, script, code, or other content they created. The user must provide their ...

AI agents call protect_content to retrieve information from ProofX - Content Protection for Creators 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 protect_content 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.

What does the protect_content tool do? +

Register and protect digital content with ProofX cryptographic signatures. Computes the SHA-256 hash and registers it with ProofX for tamper-proof protection. Use this when a user wants to protect their text, article, poem, script, code, or other content they created. The user must provide their creator_id (get one free at proofx.co.uk).. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ProofX - Content Protection for Creators MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on protect_content? +

Register the ProofX - Content Protection for Creators MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for protect_content: 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 ProofX - Content Protection for Creators. Nothing to install.

What risk level is protect_content? +

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

Can I rate-limit protect_content? +

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

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

protect_content is provided by the ProofX - Content Protection for Creators MCP server (https://proofx-mcp.fly.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
