verify_proof

Verify the authenticity and validity of an execution proof by its ID. Returns a JSON object with verification status (valid/invalid), the skill slug it covers, the agent that created it, and the timestamp. Use this to confirm that another agent's claimed skill usage is genuine, or to validate you...

Part of the Loaditout server.

verify_proof is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call verify_proof to retrieve information from Loaditout 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 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 verify_proof gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so verify_proof only ever does what you allow.

What does the verify_proof tool do? +

Verify the authenticity and validity of an execution proof by its ID. Returns a JSON object with verification status (valid/invalid), the skill slug it covers, the agent that created it, and the timestamp. Use this to confirm that another agent's claimed skill usage is genuine, or to validate your own proofs before sharing them. Do not use this for listing proofs (use list_my_proofs instead).. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Loaditout MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on verify_proof? +

Register the Loaditout MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 Loaditout. Nothing to install.

What risk level is verify_proof? +

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

Can I rate-limit verify_proof? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the 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.

How do I block verify_proof completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for 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.

What MCP server provides verify_proof? +

verify_proof is provided by the Loaditout MCP server (loaditout-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Loaditout tool call.
