Available tools 18

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

attest

attest_absence_build

Build a sorted Merkle tree for an audit window (enables cryptographic non-membership proofs, C13: prov-absence). Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_absence_prove

Prove that a query event is NOT a member of a previously-built audit window (C13). Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_absence_verify

Verify a non-membership proof against an expected Merkle root (C13). Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_cargo_register

Register a versioned cargo type in the HiveAttest registry (C17: hive-cargo-taxonomy). Pins a definition hash for version-anchoring. Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_cargo_snapshot

Get a registry snapshot with Merkle root for version pinning (C17). Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_cargo_validate

Validate a payload against a registered cargo type schema (C17). Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_custody_append

Append a node to a custody chain (C16: hive-custody). Taint propagates: once tainted, always tainted. Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_custody_proof

Retrieve a Merkle inclusion proof for a specific node in a custody chain (C16). Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_custody_verify

Verify a custody chain: hash linkage, Ed25519 signatures, and taint propagation (C16). Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_gate_evaluate

THE HEADLINE TOOL. Evaluate whether an agent may proceed through the HiveAttest gate (C19: hive-gate-enforcer). Verifies passport signature + expiry, cargo registry membership, and warranty status. Every response (allow OR deny) includes a signed C18-format receipt of the gate decision. Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_inspect_sample

Probabilistic secondary inspection of a record batch (C20: hive-secondary-inspection). Returns a signed inspection record. Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_meta

Return HiveAttest layer/spec/patent metadata for all claims. Useful for agent introspection. Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_passport_issue

Issue a Pre-Action Attestation Manifest (C15: hive-passport). Signs with Ed25519 over RFC 8785 JCS-canonical body. Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_passport_verify

Verify a Pre-Action Attestation Manifest (C15: hive-passport). Checks Ed25519 signature, temporal validity, and optionally observed inputs hash. Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_smsh_verify

Verify a SMSH-Stamp v1 receipt (C8/C12: smsh-stamp-verifier). Validates schema, version, algorithm, timestamp, and Ed25519 signature. Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_warranty_breach

Report a warranty breach. Marks the warranty as breached and returns a signed breach record (C18). Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_warranty_get

Retrieve a warranty by ID (C18). Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

attest_warranty_issue

Issue an attestation warranty committing an agent to a claim (C18: hive-attestation-warranty). Signed with Ed25519. Reference-grade implementation. Wire format normative; production-grade is Layer B.

HiveAttest — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can HiveAttest do?

It exposes 18 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: attest_absence_build, attest_absence_prove, attest_absence_verify, attest_cargo_register, attest_cargo_snapshot, attest_cargo_validate and 12 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 HiveAttest working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 88 of 91 checks got a reply (96.7%), average response time 3160 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect HiveAttest?

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 HiveAttest need an API key?

No. HiveAttest completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 18 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

Is HiveAttest open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
