How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

MCP tools · 3 exposed · ~832 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
append_agent_action ~361

Record an action in an agent's append-only provenance ledger — the permanent, auditable trail of what the agent did. Provide `agent_id` (THREE_WS_TOKEN must own it), a short `type` (≤64 chars, e.g. launch, buy, post, reflect), an optional structured `payload`, and an optional `source_skill`. WRITE ACTION: this APPENDS a new immutable record — it can never be edited or deleted, and calling it twice records two distinct actions, so don't retry blindly. When an EVM signer is configured (THREE_WS_SIGNER_KEY env or the `signer_key` arg) the action is ERC-191-signed before sending, making its authorship publicly verifiable; with no key it is appended unsigned. Returns the stored record (with id + created_at) and a `signing` block reporting whether it was signed and by which address.

NameTypeReqDescription
agent_idstringyesThe agent identity uuid to record the action under. Your token must own it.
payloadobjectStructured details of the action (any JSON object) — e.g. { mint, amount_sol, signature }. Stored verbatim and covered by the signature.
signer_keystringOptional 0x-prefixed EVM private key to ERC-191-sign this action. Overrides THREE_WS_SIGNER_KEY for this call. Omit to use the env key, or sign nothing if none is set.
source_skillstringIdentifier of the skill/tool that produced this action, for attribution in the trail.
typestringyesShort action type, e.g. launch, buy, sell, post, reflect, follow. Truncated to 64 chars server-side.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_agent_actions ~253

Read an agent's append-only action log, newest-first, cursor-paginated. Returns each action's id, type (e.g. launch, buy, post, reflect), payload, source_skill, created_at, and — when the action was signed — its ERC-191 signature + signer_address. Each record is checked against its own signature: `verification.reason` is `ok` (recovered signer matches the claimed address), `unsigned`, `signer_mismatch` (recovered a different address — tampering OR an action signed under a different canonical scheme; treat as unverified, not trusted), or `malformed_signature`. Pass the returned `next_cursor` back as `cursor` to page further. The ledger is owner-scoped: THREE_WS_TOKEN must own `agent_id`. Read-only; the log is immutable so older pages never change.

NameTypeReqDescription
agent_idstringyesThe agent identity uuid whose provenance trail to read. Your token must own it.
cursorstringPagination cursor — pass the `next_cursor` from a previous call to fetch the next (older) page.
limitintegerMax actions to return (1–200, default 50).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

query_action ~218

Fetch a single action from an agent's append-only log by its id, then verify it. Returns the action (type, payload, source_skill, created_at, signature, signer_address) plus a `verification` block: `signed`, `valid`, `reason` (`ok` | `unsigned` | `signer_mismatch` | `malformed_signature`), the `recovered` signer address, and the recomputed `digest`. `valid:true` means the ERC-191 signature recovers to the claimed signer over the canonical action form — cryptographic proof the named agent authored this exact action and it was not altered. The ledger is owner-scoped: THREE_WS_TOKEN must own `agent_id`. Returns ok:false / not_found when the id is absent from this agent's log. Read-only.

NameTypeReqDescription
agent_idstringyesThe agent identity uuid that owns the action. Your token must own this agent.
idstringyesThe numeric action id to fetch (the `id` field from list_agent_actions).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

What tools does the three.ws Provenance MCP server expose?

three.ws Provenance exposes 3 tools: list_agent_actions, query_action, append_agent_action. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 832 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the three.ws Provenance MCP server still maintained?

three.ws Provenance is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
