# validate_private_inputs

Verify an artifact's private_inputs[] (ChainGraph Standard §25 ocg-private-input@1) WITHOUT ever seeing the plaintext witness: per RFC 6901 pointer, checks the pointed value inside policy_parameters IS the declared sha256-salted@1 commitment (never the plaintext, §25.2), that the commitment scheme is known, and -- when a §18 compute_proof is present -- that its journal commits the same commitment and binds output_payload. Optionally accepts an out-of-band {pointer, salt, input_value} disclosure package (authorized-verifier path) and recomputes sha256(salt || cgCanon(input_value)) to confirm it equals the commitment. Returns one {pointer, verifiable} record per entry: "proof-only" | "disclosed-verified" | "commitment-only" (no proof yet -- structural + plaintext-exclusion only) | "failed". Pure client-safe compute, zero network, never requires the plaintext.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `artifact` | object | no | A full ChainGraph artifact envelope carrying private_inputs[], policy_parameters, and optionally output_payload + audit_signature.compute_proof. |
| `disclosures` | array | no | OPTIONAL authorized-verifier disclosure packages, keyed by pointer, for the disclosed-verified path. |
| `compute_proof` | object | no | audit_signature.compute_proof (if not passing a full artifact). |
| `output_payload` | object | no | Artifact output_payload (if not passing a full artifact). |
| `private_inputs` | array | no | The private_inputs[] array (if not passing a full artifact). |
| `policy_parameters` | object | no | Artifact policy_parameters (if not passing a full artifact). |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "validate_private_inputs",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why validate_private_inputs is rated Low

This tool only reads and validates existing cryptographic commitments and schema structures. It performs integrity checks and verification logic (comparing sha256 hashes, validating commitment schemes, confirming journal bindings) but does not create, modify, delete, or execute external code.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs verification and checking operations: 'Verify', 'checks', 'confirm' — comparing cryptographic commitments and schemas without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call validate_private_inputs 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Ainumbers Mcp Apps:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "validate_private_inputs": {}
  }
}
```
