The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
axiom_apply Apply a bundle to the filesystem (two-phase commit) ~219
Transactionally write the bundle into the root: pre-image verification, staging, journal, atomic renames, scoped rollback on failure. Requires `confirmDigest === bundle.manifestDigest` (echo the digest you saw in dry-run). Idempotent: re-applying an applied digest is a no-op.

| mode | string | – | fs (default) writes files; pr additionally creates a git branch and commits exactly the touched paths (no push, no PR creation) |
| profile | string | – | Profile name (builtin default|strict|permissive, or <root>/.axiom/profiles/<name>.json) |
| root | string | – | Absolute repository root; must equal or lie inside an allowlisted --root |

axiom_apply_dry_run Dry-run apply (stage + diff, no writes to the tree) ~126
Stage the bundle under <root>/.axiom/staging, run pre-apply checks and produce a unified diff against the current tree. Nothing outside .axiom/ is touched. Echo the returned manifestDigest as `confirmDigest` to axiom_apply.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

| diagnostics | array | yes | – |
| plan | object | – | – |
No examples provided.
axiom_check Run policy checks on a bundle ~121
Evaluate the profile's predicates (plus the manifest's own checks) against the bundle. Repo facts are read from the root when one is available and the profile allows it. Verdict `error` means a provider could not run — never a silent pass.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| bundle | object | yes | ManifestBundle |
| profile | string | – | Profile name (builtin default|strict|permissive, or <root>/.axiom/profiles/<name>.json) |

| providers | array | yes | – |
| verdict | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
axiom_check_start Start policy checks as a background task ~179
Same evaluation as axiom_check, but returned immediately as a task so long `guard.external` suites (up to 15 min per guard) outlive the client's per-call timeout. Poll axiom_task_get with the returned taskId every pollIntervalMs until status is completed|failed|cancelled; the CheckReport is in `result`. Finished tasks are pollable for ttlMs, then forgotten. Tasks live in this server process only (D-24 — tool-level tasks, not the io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks wire extension).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| bundle | object | yes | ManifestBundle |
| profile | string | – | Profile name (builtin default|strict|permissive, or <root>/.axiom/profiles/<name>.json) |
| root | string | – | Absolute repository root; must equal or lie inside an allowlisted --root |

| tool | string | yes | – |
| ttlMs | integer | yes | – |
No examples provided.
axiom_manifest_diff Diff two manifests ~106
Compare two manifests by artifact path and digest. Each side is a ManifestBundle or a `sha256:<hex>` reference to a bundle stored under an allowlisted root.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| a | – | yes | A ManifestBundle object, or `sha256:<hex>` of a bundle stored under <root>/.axiom/manifests |
| b | – | yes | A ManifestBundle object, or `sha256:<hex>` of a bundle stored under <root>/.axiom/manifests |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| added | array | yes | – |
| changed | array | yes | – |
| removed | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
axiom_manifest_verify Verify a ManifestBundle ~102
Structural and content-address verification: schema, recomputed manifestDigest, every inline blob hashes to its key, attestation subject matches. When a root with .axiom/trust/keys.json is available, detached DSSE signatures are verified and the trusted keyids are reported under `signatures`. Never writes.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| bundle | object | yes | ManifestBundle |
| root | string | – | Absolute repository root; must equal or lie inside an allowlisted --root |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| canonical | boolean | yes | – |
| errors | array | yes | – |
| manifestDigest | string | – | sha256:<64 lowercase hex> |
| missing | array | yes | – |
| ok | boolean | yes | – |
| signatures | object | – | – |
| signed | boolean | yes | – |
No examples provided.
axiom_plan_add Append artifacts to a plan session ~101
Add a chunk of Plan artifacts (each ≤ 4 MiB call, inline content ≤ 256 KiB per artifact as in a Plan) to an open session. Paths must be unique across every chunk (ERR_INVALID_PLAN otherwise); a sealed or over-budget session is ERR_PLAN_SESSION_STATE.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| artifacts | array | yes | Plan artifacts, same shape as Plan.artifacts[] |
| sessionId | string | yes | sessionId returned by axiom_plan_begin |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| artifacts | integer | yes | – |
| bytes | integer | yes | – |
| limits | object | yes | – |
| sessionId | string | yes | – |
| ttlMs | integer | yes | – |
No examples provided.
axiom_plan_begin Open a chunked plan session ~156
Start assembling a Plan whose JSON would exceed the 4 MiB per-call cap: send the header here (everything except `artifacts`), append artifacts in chunks with axiom_plan_add, then axiom_plan_seal compiles the whole. The sealed bundle's manifestDigest is identical to a one-shot axiom_plan_compile of the same Plan. Sessions are in-memory, expire after 30 min idle, and hold at most 2000 artifacts / 64 MiB.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capabilities | array | – | – |
| checks | array | – | – |
| counter | integer | – | – |

| artifacts | integer | yes | – |
| bytes | integer | yes | – |
| limits | object | yes | – |
| sessionId | string | yes | – |
| ttlMs | integer | yes | – |
No examples provided.
axiom_plan_compile Compile a Plan into a ManifestBundle ~164
Compile a Plan into a content-addressed ManifestBundle (sorted artifacts, sha256 digests, in-toto planDigest). `store: cas` writes blobs under <root>/.axiom/cas instead of inlining them. When a root is given the bundle is stored under <root>/.axiom/manifests/<hex>.json so later tools can reference it by digest. `template` sources are rendered by the built-in `web` emitter (see `axiom emitters`); its version is recorded in toolchain.emitters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| plan | object | yes | Plan document |
| root | string | – | Absolute repository root; must equal or lie inside an allowlisted --root |
| store | string | – | Blob transport; default inline |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| attestation | object | – | – |
| blobs | object | yes | – |
| envelope | object | – | – |
| manifest | object | yes | – |
| manifestDigest | string | yes | sha256:<64 lowercase hex> |
| signatures | array | – | – |
No examples provided.
axiom_plan_seal Seal a plan session and compile it ~120
Assemble the session's header + every added artifact into one Plan and compile it exactly like axiom_plan_compile (same options, same digest). The session is consumed whether or not compilation succeeds. Bundles whose inline blobs exceed 4 MiB need `store: cas` (and therefore a root).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| root | string | – | Absolute repository root; must equal or lie inside an allowlisted --root |
| sessionId | string | yes | sessionId returned by axiom_plan_begin |
| store | string | – | Blob transport; default inline |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| attestation | object | – | – |
| blobs | object | yes | – |
| envelope | object | – | – |
| manifest | object | yes | – |
| manifestDigest | string | yes | sha256:<64 lowercase hex> |
| signatures | array | – | – |
No examples provided.
axiom_plan_validate Validate a Plan ~56
Validate a Plan against PlanSchema and, when all sources are inline, compute its planDigest. Read-only; touches no files.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| plan | object | yes | Plan document (apiVersion axiom.dev/v2, kind Plan) |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| errors | array | yes | – |
| ok | boolean | yes | – |
| planDigest | string | – | sha256:<64 lowercase hex> |
No examples provided.
axiom_repo_snapshot Snapshot a root ~269
Deterministic, content-addressed inventory of a root: every regular file (and symlink) as { path, bytes, sha256, mode, kind }, sorted by code point, with snapshotDigest = sha256(JCS(body)). No timestamps, no absolute paths — the same tree gives the same digest on every machine. Honours the root .gitignore, always skips .git/ and .axiom/, never follows symlinks, never leaves the root. Use it to build Plans against real pre-image digests, or diff two snapshots with `axiom snapshot-diff`.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| exclude | array | – | Relative globs to drop |
| followSymlinks | boolean | – | Always false; symlinks are recorded, never followed |
| include | array | – | Relative globs (*, **, ?) to keep; default everything |
| maxBytes | integer | – | Stop once the summed size would exceed this; sets truncated |
| maxFiles | integer | – | Stop after this many files (cap 50000); sets truncated |
| respectGitignore | boolean | – | – |
| root | string | – | Absolute repository root; must equal or lie inside an allowlisted --root |
| withContentDigest | boolean | – | false → sizes only, no sha256 |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| apiVersion | string | yes | – |
| body | object | yes | – |
| kind | string | yes | – |
| root | object | yes | – |
| snapshotDigest | string | yes | sha256:<64 lowercase hex> |
No examples provided.
axiom_rollback Roll back an applied manifest ~81
Replay the journal of a committed/committing manifest in reverse: restore backups, remove created files, drop the applied marker.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| manifestDigest | string | yes | `sha256:<hex>` (or bare hex) of the manifest to roll back |
| root | string | – | Absolute repository root; must equal or lie inside an allowlisted --root |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| manifestDigest | string | yes | sha256:<64 lowercase hex> |
| phase | string | yes | – |

| status | string | yes | – |
| steps | integer | yes | – |
No examples provided.
axiom_roots_list List allowlisted roots ~31
The frozen set of roots this server may read and write, as given by --root at startup.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| roots | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
axiom_task_cancel Cancel a task ~66
Abort a `working` task: every running guard process tree is killed and the task ends `cancelled` with error ERR_TASK_CANCELLED. Idempotent — a terminal task is returned unchanged.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| taskId | string | yes | taskId returned by axiom_check_start |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

axiom_task_get Poll a task ~80
Status of a task created by axiom_check_start. While `working` only the descriptor is returned; once terminal, `result` (completed) or `error` (failed|cancelled) is attached. Unknown or expired taskId → ERR_TASK_NOT_FOUND.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

What is the AXIOM MCP server?
AXIOM is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.dragoscv/axiom. Transactional write gate for coding agents: plan, canonical manifest, checks, two-phase apply. This page covers its npm package (@codai/axiom-mcp).
Is the AXIOM MCP server safe to use?
AXIOM scores 78 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 25 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the AXIOM MCP server expose?
AXIOM exposes 17 tools: axiom_plan_validate, axiom_plan_compile, axiom_manifest_verify, axiom_check, axiom_check_start, and 12 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,034 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the AXIOM MCP server still maintained?
AXIOM is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the AXIOM MCP server under?
AXIOM declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
