Compute a quantum-safe hash digest (SHA3-256, SHA3-512, SHAKE128, SHAKE256)
AI agents call pqc_hash to retrieve information from Post-Quantum Cryptography MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Hash computation is a deterministic read operation that takes input and produces output without modifying any state or triggering external operations. The output is a cryptographic digest used for integrity verification or identification purposes. This is a fundamental cryptographic primitive with no capability to alter data, execute arbitrary code, or trigger system-level side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool computes and returns a hash digest using standard quantum-safe hash functions (SHA3-256, SHA3-512, SHAKE128, SHAKE256). No data is modified, created, deleted, or persisted; it performs pure computation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Compute a quantum-safe hash digest (SHA3-256, SHA3-512, SHAKE128, SHAKE256). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Post-Quantum Cryptography MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Post-Quantum Cryptography MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pqc_hash: 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 Post-Quantum Cryptography MCP Server. Nothing to install.
pqc_hash 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 pqc_hash 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 pqc_hash. 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.
pqc_hash is provided by the Post-Quantum Cryptography MCP Server MCP server (scottdhughes/post-quantum-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
