Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

act
check_act
Check (and if allowed, record) a proposed act against a covenant. Deny-by-default. Idempotent on act_id — retries never double-consume budget. Every check lands on the audit chain.
covenant
covenant_status
Current state, consumed/remaining budget, and check count.
covenants
list_covenants
List covenants, optionally filtered by state (ACTIVE|REVOKED|EXPIRED) and/or the bound agent.
describe
describe_agent
Fleet-standard self-description.
grant
grant_covenant
Grant an agent a covenant: an explicit lease of authority. scopes support wildcards ('payments.*', '*'); budget_minor is the total spend ceiling in minor units; expires_at is ISO-8601. Returns the covenant_id.
revoke
revoke_covenant
Revoke a covenant immediately and terminally. All subsequent checks deny.
verify
verify_audit
Verify the tamper-evident audit chain of allowed/denied acts.

Agent Covenant — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Agent Covenant do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_act, covenant_status, describe_agent, grant_covenant, list_covenants, revoke_covenant and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Agent Covenant working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 352 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Agent Covenant?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Agent Covenant need an API key?
No. Agent Covenant completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Agent Covenant?
It answers our handshake in 352 ms on average, which is faster than 40% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Agent Covenant open source?
Yes — written in Python, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
