List all Hive Prior receipts stamped by an inventor DID, newest first. Paginated with limit (default 50) and offset.
AI agents call prior_by_inventor to retrieve information from Hive Mcp Prior without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves existing patent priority timestamp records filtered by inventor identifier. It is a read-only lookup operation with no side effects, reversible modifications, code execution, data destruction, or financial implications. The pagination parameters are standard for read operations. Severity is low because unauthorized access to historical receipt metadata poses minimal direct harm.
From the tool's definition Tool description states "List all Hive Prior receipts stamped by an inventor DID" — a retrieval operation with pagination (limit/offset) parameters. No creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations is indicated.

List all Hive Prior receipts stamped by an inventor DID, newest first. Paginated with limit (default 50) and offset. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hive Mcp Prior MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Hive Mcp Prior MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for prior_by_inventor: 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 Hive Mcp Prior. Nothing to install.
prior_by_inventor 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 prior_by_inventor 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 prior_by_inventor. 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.
prior_by_inventor is provided by the Hive Mcp Prior MCP server (srotzin/hive-mcp-prior). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
