What node_reachability does on Tenzro Ledger MCP
AI agents call node_reachability to retrieve information from Tenzro Ledger MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why node_reachability is rated Low
This tool queries and returns information about a node's connectivity status. It is a read-only operation with no side effects—it neither modifies data, executes code, deletes anything, nor commits financial obligations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius: an AI agent misusing this tool could only retrieve connectivity metadata, which poses no security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'node_reachability' and description 'Return this node's sustained connectivity tier' indicate a query operation that retrieves status information about network connectivity without modifying, executing, or affecting any state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs node_reachability 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 node_reachability, this is the rule to start with:
node_reachability is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 node_reachability call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about node_reachability
Return this node's sustained connectivity tier. 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 node_reachability: 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.
node_reachability 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 node_reachability 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 node_reachability. 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.
node_reachability 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.
