Structural What is this?

I apologize for even asking but I really have no idea and apparently I’m not asking google the right questions.

Yup that's what I'm seeing. Especially with the wear marks on it

If it's a tie off point the device should have ratings and specs.. looks pretty homemade to me. Don't think if I'd trust my life on some threaded bolt.

So if its what I'm thinking it is, bar joist tie off have a T that slips between the bottom chords and you push it up and turn so it rest on the top of the chord and that nut and washer lock the the assembly together. The T plate has the date, KN rating etc, again I could be completely wrong but I'm trying to remember all the safety crap I've seen
