On enforcement mechanism: You've misunderstood what the system does. It's not asking the LLM to determine security.
The Capacity Gate physically removes tools before the LLM sees them:
user_permissions = ledger.get_effective_permissions()
allowed_tools = [t for t in tools if (user_permissions & t['x-rosetta-capacity']) == t['x-rosetta-capacity']]
If READ_ONLY is active, sql_execute gets filtered out. The LLM can't see or call tools that don't make it into allowed_tools. response = client.messages.create(tools=allowed_tools)
This isn't RBAC checking after the fact. It's capability control before reasoning begins. The LLM doesn't decide permissions—the system decides what verbs exist in the LLM's vocabulary.On Ring 0/1: These are enforced at the application layer via the Capacity Gate. The rings define who can change constraints, not how they're enforced.
On MCP: MCP handles who you are. This pattern handles what you can do based on persistent organizational policies. They're complementary.
The contribution isn't "LLMs can do RBAC" (they can't). It's "here's a pattern for making authority constraints persistent and mechanically enforceable through tool filtering."
Does this clarify the enforcement mechanism?
