AI agents use create_web3_escrow to create or modify resources in Kustodia Escrow. 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 create_web3_escrow 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 Kustodia Escrow.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

[WEB3 ESCROW] Create an on-chain escrow via platform relayer. The RELAYER pays gas and calls createEscrow. WALLET MODEL (3-step process): 1. CREATE (this tool): Relayer wallet registers the escrow on-chain with payer/payee addresses. Gas paid by platform. 2. FUND: The PAYER wallet must call approve() + fundEscrow(). - For GASLESS via ZeroDev: Set use_zerodev=true so payer=smart account, then use fund_with_session_key - For AGENTIC wallets (Coinbase AgentKit): Agent can sign approve+fund programmatically - For HUMAN wallets (MetaMask, etc): MUST use the Kustodia web3 dashboard UI to approve+fund 3. RELEASE/DISPUTE (separate tools): Relayer wallet can release or dispute funded escrows IMPORTANT: If you plan to fund via fund_with_session_key, you MUST set use_zerodev=true so the smart account is the payer. SUPPORTED CHAINS: Arbitrum (42161), Base (8453), Polygon (137), Injective (1776) SUPPORTED TOKENS: USDC, MXNB, USDT (varies by chain). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Kustodia Escrow MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Kustodia Escrow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_web3_escrow: 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 Kustodia Escrow. Nothing to install.
create_web3_escrow is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_web3_escrow 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 create_web3_escrow. 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.
create_web3_escrow is provided by the Kustodia Escrow MCP server (kustodia/escrow). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
