Intercepts MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool invocations and wraps them in Sigil Intent Attestations, a cryptographic attestation layer that verifies the intent and authorization of tool calls before execution. This works by hooking into the MCP tool registry, capturing tool call metadata (name, arguments, context), generating attestation signatures, and validating them against a Sigil policy engine before delegating to the underlying tool implementation.
Unique: Implements attestation-based tool access control at the MCP protocol layer using Sigil Intent Attestations, a cryptographic framework that binds tool invocations to agent identity and intent — rather than relying on coarse-grained API keys or role-based access control, it validates the semantic intent of each tool call
vs alternatives: Provides finer-grained security than standard MCP server authentication (which typically uses API keys) by cryptographically verifying agent intent for each tool call, preventing prompt injection and unauthorized tool use even if an agent has general MCP access
Acts as a transparent proxy layer between MCP clients (LLM agents, applications) and MCP tool servers, intercepting all tool calls at the protocol level and injecting attestation validation logic without requiring changes to the underlying tool implementations. The proxy parses incoming MCP messages, extracts tool call metadata, validates attestations against Sigil policies, and either forwards the call to the tool server or rejects it with detailed error information.
Unique: Implements MCP as a transparent proxy middleware that validates attestations at the protocol level without requiring tool server modifications, using a stateless architecture that can be deployed as a sidecar or centralized service in front of multiple MCP servers
vs alternatives: Simpler to deploy than modifying each tool server individually, and more flexible than embedding attestation logic directly in tools since policies can be updated without redeploying tool code
Validates cryptographic Sigil Intent Attestations embedded in or accompanying MCP tool calls, verifying that the attestation signature is valid, the agent identity matches the policy, and the tool/argument combination is authorized. This involves signature verification using public keys, policy lookup and evaluation, timestamp validation to prevent replay attacks, and detailed error reporting if validation fails.
Unique: Implements cryptographic attestation validation using Sigil Intent Attestations, which bind agent identity, tool intent, and authorization in a single cryptographic token — rather than relying on separate authentication and authorization layers, it validates intent and authorization together
vs alternatives: More robust than API key-based authorization because attestations are cryptographically signed and include agent identity and intent, making them resistant to key theft and enabling fine-grained policy enforcement without requiring a separate authorization service
Captures and binds agent identity (who is calling the tool) and intent (what the agent intends to accomplish) into Sigil attestations that accompany each MCP tool call. This works by extracting agent metadata from the MCP context, generating a cryptographic commitment to the tool call parameters and intent, signing it with the agent's key, and embedding the attestation in the MCP message so the tool server can verify it.
Unique: Binds agent identity and intent into cryptographic attestations at the MCP protocol level, creating a non-repudiation mechanism where agents cannot deny making tool calls and intent is cryptographically committed before execution
vs alternatives: Stronger accountability than logging-based approaches because attestations are cryptographically signed by the agent, making them tamper-proof and suitable for compliance audits; more fine-grained than role-based access control because it includes agent intent
Evaluates Sigil attestations against a policy engine that defines which agents can call which tools with which parameters. The policy engine looks up policies by agent ID and tool name, checks if the attestation matches the policy requirements (e.g., specific argument values, time-based restrictions), and either allows or denies the tool call. Policies are typically defined in a declarative format (JSON, YAML) and can include conditions like 'only Agent A can call database_write', 'Agent B can only call read_only tools', or 'this tool can only be called between 9am-5pm'.
Unique: Implements policy-based access control at the MCP protocol level using Sigil attestations as the authorization token, allowing fine-grained policies to be defined and updated independently of tool server code
vs alternatives: More flexible than hardcoded authorization checks in tool servers because policies are externalized and can be updated without redeploying; more expressive than simple role-based access control because policies can include parameter-level restrictions and context-based conditions
Automatically logs all tool invocations that pass through the MCP proxy, capturing agent identity, tool name, arguments, attestation status, policy evaluation result, timestamp, and execution result. Logs are structured (JSON format) and include enough detail for compliance audits, forensic analysis, and debugging. The logging system can be configured to write to files, databases, or external logging services.
Unique: Provides automatic, structured audit logging at the MCP protocol level with cryptographic attestation validation results, enabling compliance-grade audit trails without requiring changes to tool servers or agents
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than tool-level logging because it captures all tool invocations in a centralized location with consistent formatting; more trustworthy than agent-side logging because the proxy is outside the agent's control
