Changes things 6Claude Code: ask
  • lineageFull ancestry and descendants of an agent, plus its generation number.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Full ancestry and descendants of an agent, plus its generation number.
  • recallRecall an agent: flags it and quarantines every transitive descendant.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Recall an agent: flags it and quarantines every transitive descendant. Reports exactly which agents were quarantined.
  • register_artifactRegister a content-addressed artifact in a separate provenance DAG.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Register a content-addressed artifact in a separate provenance DAG. Parent hashes may be registered artifacts or external content roots. Idempotent on artifact_id; does not consume a genesis index.
  • register_genesisRegister an agent's birth.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Register an agent's birth. Issues a content-addressed genesis certificate with a strictly monotone index (epoch 0 = the founding cohort). parent_id records lineage; children of recalled/quarantined parents are quarantined at birth. Idempotent — an agent is born once.
  • verify_artifactRecompute an artifact record hash and verify it against the DAG ledger.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Recompute an artifact record hash and verify it against the DAG ledger.
  • verify_certificateVerify a certificate: recompute its content hash and check the ledger.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Verify a certificate: recompute its content hash and check the ledger.
Only reads 5Claude Code: allow
  • describe_agentFleet-standard self-description.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "describe_agent" says "describe": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fleet-standard self-description.
  • get_artifactFetch one registered artifact by artifact_id.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_artifact" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch one registered artifact by artifact_id.
  • get_certificateFetch an agent's genesis certificate + recall/quarantine status.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_certificate" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch an agent's genesis certificate + recall/quarantine status.
  • list_artifactsList artifacts, optionally filtered by producer agent.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_artifacts" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List artifacts, optionally filtered by producer agent.
  • list_recordsList genesis records, optionally by epoch (0 = founding cohort).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_records" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List genesis records, optionally by epoch (0 = founding cohort).

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. It assumes the server is installed as agent-provenance. Review it before you use it.
