How to control verify ↓

AI agents call verify as a supporting operation in Proxima workflows.

Low Risk

The description is completely empty, making it impossible to determine what 'verify' does with any confidence. The name alone could refer to many things (verifying facts, verifying code, verifying credentials, etc.). Given the server context of an AI gateway for coding and analysis, it might check or validate something (Read), but this is speculative.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'verify' with an empty description. No information about what this tool does is provided.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access verify gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Proxima, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for verify:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "verify": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "verify_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

verify gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Proxima — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the verify tool do? +

verify. It is categorised as a Other tool in the Proxima MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on verify? +

Register the Proxima MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 Proxima. Nothing to install.

What risk level is verify? +

verify is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit verify? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the 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.

How do I block verify completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for 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.

What MCP server provides verify? +

verify is provided by the Proxima MCP server (zen4-bit/proxima). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Proxima tool call.
