uuid_verify_v5

Verify that a string is a well-formed UUID and that it is version 5 (SHA-1 name-based). Returns valid: false for any other version.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
uuid	string	Yes	The UUID string to verify as version 5.

Response

Field	Type	Description
valid	boolean	true if the input is a well-formed UUID v5.
version	integer	Detected UUID version. Present even when valid is false (as long as the UUID parses). null for malformed input.
variant	string	UUID variant string. Present when the UUID is structurally valid. null for malformed input.
error	string	Human-readable failure reason. Only present when valid is false.

Examples

A known v5 UUID passes

{
	"uuid": "c66bbb60-d62e-5f17-a399-3a0bd237c503"
}

Result:

{
	"valid": true,
	"version": 5,
	"variant": "RFC4122"
}

---

A v3 UUID fails the v5 check

{
	"uuid": "c6db027c-615c-3b4d-959e-1a917747ca5a"
}

Result:

{
	"valid": false,
	"version": 3,
	"variant": "RFC4122",
	"error": "expected version v5 but got v3"
}

Errors

Each failure carries a precise code in the response. Argument-schema and server errors are JSON-RPC protocol errors; a rejected value is returned as a tool result with isError: true (so the agent can read the code and self-correct).

Code	When	Delivered as
invalid_arguments	The uuid argument is missing or the wrong type.	protocol error (invalid_params)
internal_error	An unexpected server error.	protocol error (internal_error)

Notes

• A malformed UUID string is returned as { "valid": false, "error": "..." }, not as an MCP error.
• version and variant are included in the response even when the version assertion fails.
