AI agents call zk_verify_proof to retrieve information from Hive Zk Attestation 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 zk_verify_proof 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access zk_verify_proof gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Verify a submitted attestation against a known verification key. Aleo snarkVM (Varuna/BLS12-377) is the primary verification target via the snark.verify opcode. Returns boolean validity plus the verification key fingerprint. Free. Read-only — no settlement, no on-chain write.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hive Zk Attestation MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Hive Zk Attestation MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for zk_verify_proof: 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 Hive Zk Attestation. Nothing to install.
zk_verify_proof 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 zk_verify_proof 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 zk_verify_proof. 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.
zk_verify_proof is provided by the Hive Zk Attestation MCP server (https://hive-mcp-zk-attestation.onrender.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
