Tools & capabilities
Agent Passport MCP tools 152
list_profilesShow available tool profiles. Set APS_PROFILE env var to limit exposed tools (e.g. APS_PROFILE=data).list_tools_for_scopeList available MCP tools filtered by delegation scope. Pass your delegation scopes to see which tools you can use. Scopes: identity, delegation, principal, reputation, coordination, communication, governance, commerce, data, gateway, network, temporal, attribution, settlement, capability, mutual-auth. Use ['*'] for all tools.identifyIdentify yourself to the coordination server. Sets your role and scopes tools accordingly.generate_keysGenerate an Ed25519 keypair for agent identity.issue_passportIssue a complete agent passport with keys, signed passport, attestation summary, and optional values floor in a single call. The server silently captures Tier 0 observed signals and computes a passport grade (0-3). Use this to onboard any agent — no npm install required.verify_issuerVerify that a passport was officially issued by AEOESS. Checks the issuer countersignature against the published AEOESS public key. Returns false for self-signed passports.get_passport_gradeQuery the attestation grade and issuance context for a passport. Returns the passport grade (0-3), flags, and evidence summary. Grade 0 = self-signed, 1 = issuer countersigned, 2 = runtime-bound, 3 = principal-bound. This is the partner-facing trust query.list_issuance_recordsList all stored issuance records with their passport grades. Shows how many passports have been issued in this session and their trust posture. Useful for monitoring issuance patterns.get_behavioral_sequenceGet the post-issuance behavioral sequence for an agent. Shows the first 10 tool calls after passport issuance. Real agents do work. Farming agents extract. This is consilium signal #2.get_my_roleGet your current role, assigned tasks, and role-specific instructions.create_task_brief[OPERATOR] Create a new task with roles, deliverables, and acceptance criteria.assign_agent[OPERATOR] Assign an agent to a role in a task. Creates a delegation automatically.- +140 more on the listing page

Use verbosity='minimal' for summary only, 'compact' (default) for fix list, 'full' for complete fixed file content.record_security_outcomeRecord aggregate remediation outcomes after reviewing scanner findings. Sends counts only; never sends code, findings, paths, or rule IDs.list_security_rulesList all available security fix templates and their descriptionscheck_packageCheck if a package name is legitimate or potentially hallucinated (AI-invented)scan_packagesScan code for package imports and check for hallucinated (AI-invented) packages. Use verbosity='minimal' for counts, 'compact' (default) for flagged packages, 'full' for all details.list_package_statsList statistics about loaded package lists for hallucination detectionscan_agent_promptScan a prompt for malicious intent. Returns BLOCK/WARN/LOG/ALLOW. Use verbosity='minimal' for action only, 'compact' (default) for findings, 'full' for audit details.scan_git_diffScan git diff for new security vulnerabilities.

Use verbosity='minimal' for grade + counts, 'compact' (default) for top issues, 'full' for all details.scan_agent_actionPre-execution security check for agent actions (bash, file_write, file_read, http_request, file_delete, cron, process_spawn, git, docker).
