FAQ

Questions about x_federation_registry

What does the x_federation_registry tool do? +

Read the federation registry resource (ruv://federation/registry): relay URL, canonical relay tag for NIP-42, gateway pubkey, and the exact self-join steps. Use when onboarding a new node or user to the open federation. Hard-coding the relay URL is wrong because the relay verifies the NIP-42 relay tag strictly against its canonical host, which this resource states. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Flow MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on x_federation_registry? +

Register the Claude Flow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for x_federation_registry: 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 Claude Flow. Nothing to install.

What risk level is x_federation_registry? +

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

Can I rate-limit x_federation_registry? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for x_federation_registry. 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.
