What generate_keypair does on Tenzro Ledger MCP
AI agents use generate_keypair to create or update resources in Tenzro Ledger MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Tenzro Ledger MCP environment.
Why generate_keypair is rated Medium
An AI agent can call generate_keypair faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Tenzro Ledger MCP by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs generate_keypair safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tenzro Ledger MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For generate_keypair, this is the rule to start with:
generate_keypair stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tenzro Ledger MCP, apply this rule, and every generate_keypair call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about generate_keypair
Generate a new cryptographic keypair (ed25519 or secp256k1). Returns public and private key hex. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Tenzro Ledger MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Tenzro Ledger MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_keypair: 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.
generate_keypair 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 generate_keypair 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 generate_keypair. 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.
generate_keypair 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.
