Verify a Hive Prior receipt by prior_id. Returns the stored record and a freshly-computed dual-signature verification result (ML-DSA-65 + Ed25519 checks). Returns 404 if the prior_id is unknown.
AI agents call prior_verify 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 retrieves and verifies existing patent priority records using cryptographic signature checks. It performs a query operation that returns data without side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or irreversibly changed. The verification computation is deterministic and idempotent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Verify a Hive Prior receipt by prior_id. Returns the stored record and a freshly-computed dual-signature verification result.' The verb 'Verify' and 'Returns' indicate read-only query operations with no data modification, creation,…

Verify a Hive Prior receipt by prior_id. Returns the stored record and a freshly-computed dual-signature verification result (ML-DSA-65 + Ed25519 checks). Returns 404 if the prior_id is unknown. 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_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 Hive Mcp Prior. Nothing to install.
prior_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 prior_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 prior_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.
prior_verify 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.
