MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

Financial · Critical iota_wallet_sign_execute This tool signs and executes blockchain transactions on the IOTA network. Execute · Critical iota_cli This tool enables execution of arbitrary CLI commands against the IOTA blockchain, which can have unpredictable and severe consequences depending on agent reasoning. Execute · Medium iota_move_build Building a Move package executes compilation toolchain processes on the local system. Execute · High iota_move_publish_unsigned This tool generates a publish transaction for a Move smart contract package on the IOTA blockchain.

8 of Iota Agent's 18 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

HOW TO CONTROL IOTA AGENT

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Iota Agent, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Block financial tools by default

{
  "iota_wallet_sign_execute": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Financial tools should be explicitly enabled per use case, not open by default.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "iota_wallet_approve": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "iota_wallet_approve_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "iota_decompile": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "iota_decompile_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Iota Agent — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Can an AI agent move money through the Iota Agent MCP server? +

Yes. The Iota Agent server exposes 1 financial tools including iota_wallet_sign_execute. Without a policy, an autonomous agent can call these with no spend caps, no rate limits, and no approval flow. PolicyLayer lets you block financial tools by default, require human approval, or set per-tool rate limits — enforced on every call.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Iota Agent? +

The Iota Agent server has 3 write tools including iota_wallet_approve, iota_wallet_reject, iota_wallet_switch_network. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Iota Agent.

How many tools does the Iota Agent MCP server expose? +

18 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 10 are read-only. 8 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Iota Agent? +

Register the Iota Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Iota Agent tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 18 Iota Agent tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
