SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides governance over MCP tool calls by authoring Cedar policies and generating verifiable Ed25519 receipts to ensure traceability and auditability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cedar policy authoring: write and test access-control rules for MCP tool calls.
  • Shadow-mode observation: observe decisions without blocking to validate policy behavior.
  • Enforce-mode protection: switch to blocking disallowed calls once policies are validated.
  • Receipts & verification: generate cryptographic receipts for each decision and verify them offline.

Quick Start

Configure a Cedar policy, initialize the MCP gateway, and run in shadow mode to observe decisions before enforcement.

FAQPage Schema
How do I govern MCP tool calls with Cedar policies?▼

You can govern MCP tool calls by authoring Cedar access-control policies, initializing an MCP gateway, and running evaluations to produce verifiable Ed25519 receipts for auditing tool execution.

What is shadow-mode governance for MCP deployments?▼

Shadow-mode governance observes Cedar policy decisions on MCP tool calls without blocking them, allowing you to validate policy behavior safely before switching to enforce-mode blocking.

Can I generate cryptographic receipts for MCP tool call auditing?▼

Yes, the skill generates Ed25519 cryptographic receipts for each policy decision during MCP tool execution, which you can verify offline to ensure traceability and auditability.

How do I test access-control rules for MCP gateways before enforcement?▼

You write and test Cedar policies by running the MCP gateway in shadow mode, observing policy decisions on tool calls without blocking them to validate behavior before enforcement.

Do I need a specific MCP gateway setup to enforce Cedar policies?▼

Yes, you require a configured MCP gateway setup and Cedar policy files to evaluate access-control rules, generate signed receipts, and transition from shadow-mode observation to enforce-mode blocking.
