What anchor_stamp does on Ainumbers Mcp Apps
AI agents call anchor_stamp to retrieve information from Ainumbers Mcp Apps without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
authority | string | — | Defaults to whatever anchor-suite's own anchor_hash/anchor_batch default to today (currently sigstore for rfc3161-tst) -- this tool does not own or hardcode a p |
execution_hash | object | Yes | The execution_hash(es) to anchor. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why anchor_stamp is rated Low
Even though anchor_stamp only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

The rule that runs anchor_stamp safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ainumbers Mcp Apps, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For anchor_stamp, this is the rule to start with:
anchor_stamp 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 Ainumbers Mcp Apps, apply this rule, and every anchor_stamp call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about anchor_stamp
Calls the anchor-suite MCP server (server-to-server, not the browser CORS-gated relay) to timestamp one execution_hash, or batch-anchor an array via anchor-suite's own anchor_batch (one upstream call per batch, RFC 6962 Merkle root anchored, per-hash merkle_inclusion returned), and shapes the result as literal OCG v0.7 section 20 anchor_bindings entries ready to append to an artifact. Success is only reported after this tool independently confirms anchored_hash (or, for a batch entry, merkle_inclusion.leaf) equals the caller-supplied hash -- it does not merely trust anchor-suite's response. On ANY failure -- anchor-suite unreachable, erroring, timing out, or an equality mismatch -- returns {ok:false, unanchored:true, reason} verbatim, never a fabricated binding. Caller-invoked only; not wired into any automatic per-artifact-emission path. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ainumbers Mcp Apps MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
anchor_stamp accepts 2 parameters: authority, execution_hash. Required: execution_hash. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Ainumbers Mcp Apps MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for anchor_stamp: 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 Ainumbers Mcp Apps. Nothing to install.
anchor_stamp 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 anchor_stamp 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 anchor_stamp. 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.
anchor_stamp is provided by the Ainumbers Mcp Apps MCP server (postoaklabs/ainumbers-mcp-apps). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
