Verify sender signature on an authenticated envelope
AI agents call pqc_hybrid_auth_verify 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.
This tool performs cryptographic verification, which is a read/query operation. It checks whether a signature is valid without modifying any data, creating side effects, or performing destructive actions. The result is a boolean or status output. Misuse has minimal blast radius — at worst, a false positive or negative verification result.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Verify sender signature on an authenticated envelope. 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_hybrid_auth_verify: 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_hybrid_auth_verify 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_hybrid_auth_verify 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_hybrid_auth_verify. 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_hybrid_auth_verify 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.
