Detect available TEE hardware on the current node (TDX, SEV-SNP, Nitro, GPU CC).
AI agents call detect_tee to retrieve information from Tenzro Ledger MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about hardware capabilities (TDX, SEV-SNP, Nitro, GPU CC) without modifying, executing external operations, or triggering state changes. It is a simple discovery/enumeration function typical of Read category tools. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—querying hardware info poses little risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'detects' or 'queries' available TEE hardware capabilities on the current node. The verb 'detect' and the action of identifying hardware presence are read-only operations with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Detect available TEE hardware on the current node (TDX, SEV-SNP, Nitro, GPU CC). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tenzro Ledger MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tenzro Ledger MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for detect_tee: 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 Tenzro Ledger MCP. Nothing to install.
detect_tee 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 detect_tee 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 detect_tee. 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.
detect_tee is provided by the Tenzro Ledger MCP server (https://canton-mcp.tenzro.network/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
detect_tee is one line of Tenzro Ledger's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
