# verify_ledger_live_codesign

READ-ONLY codesign verification of the on-disk Ledger Live binary (issue #325 P4). Per-platform: macOS uses codesign --verify --deep --strict + Apple Team ID match; Windows uses PowerShell Get-AuthenticodeSignature + Subject substring match; Linux verifies the AppImage's embedded PGP signature is present (full key fingerprint pinning is a follow-up). Defaults to the platform's canonical install path; pass binaryPath to override (REQUIRED on Linux — no canonical AppImage location). Returns: verified (signature valid + matches Ledger), mismatch (signed by someone else — likely self-built / dev Ledger Live or a tampered binary), invalid (signature failed verification), not-found (no install at the expected path), platform-not-supported (Linux flatpak/snap/dpkg or unknown OS), tool-missing (codesign / powershell unavailable), error. NEVER refuses signing — surfaces the verdict for the agent to relay. Run after first install / Ledger Live update / OS update. Codesign tools take 100s of ms so this is NOT auto-fired on every signing call.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why verify_ledger_live_codesign is rated Low

This tool performs integrity checking and signature verification of a local binary file—a purely informational operation with no side effects. It retrieves and validates existing data (the binary's cryptographic signature metadata) but does not read, write, execute, or modify any blockchain state, keys, or financial transactions.

From the tool's own definition: "READ-ONLY codesign verification of the on-disk Ledger Live binary; uses `codesign --verify`, `Get-AuthenticodeSignature`, and PGP signature verification."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call verify_ledger_live_codesign to retrieve information from VaultPilot MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches VaultPilot MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "verify_ledger_live_codesign": {}
  }
}
```
