# vc_issue

Composes and signs a W3C Verifiable Credential 2.0 with an eddsa-jcs-2022 Data Integrity proof over a fresh ephemeral did:key (generated per call, not reused). Returns the signed credential, an OCG Standard §23 vc-2.0 input-attestation block ready to embed in a ChainGraph chain's policy_parameters at the given pointer, and an OCG receipt of the issuance activity. The signature proves the claims were not altered after signing and that the did:key holder produced it -- it is not, by itself, identity assurance.

| `claims` | object | yes | Claim key-value pairs for credentialSubject (required, at least one entry). |
| `pointer` | string | no | RFC 6901 JSON pointer where the attestation's claims sit in a consuming chain's policy_parameters. Default: "/subject_claims". |
| `subject_id` | string | no | Credential subject id (DID or any identifier string). Default: "did:example:subject". |
| `valid_from` | string | no | ISO 8601 validFrom. Default: now. |

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

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

## Why vc_issue is rated Medium

This tool creates and modifies cryptographic artifacts (signed verifiable credentials) that are intended for embedding in policy parameters of blockchain-like systems (ChainGraph chains). While it does not directly move funds, it creates authoritative cryptographic bindings that could be used to establish claims, permissions, or attestations in downstream financial/governance systems.

From the tool's own definition: "Composes and signs a W3C Verifiable Credential 2.0 with an eddsa-jcs-2022 Data Integrity proof; returns a signed credential ready to embed in a ChainGraph chain's policy_parameters"

## Use case

AI agents use vc_issue to create or update resources in Ainumbers Mcp Apps, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ainumbers Mcp Apps environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
