WHAT IT DOES

What getTokenInfo does on Ethereum Tools

AI agents call getTokenInfo to retrieve information from Ethereum Tools without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why getTokenInfo is rated Low

This tool retrieves token information from the Ethereum blockchain without modifying any data or executing code. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk if an AI agent uses it. The blast radius is limited to information exposure only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getTokenInfo' indicates data retrieval. Server context shows this is a toolkit for 'on-chain data retrieval' and 'wallet analysis'. Sibling tools like 'getEthBalance', 'getTokenPriceHistory', and 'getTokensBalance' are clearly read operations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs getTokenInfo safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ethereum Tools, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getTokenInfo, this is the rule to start with:

getTokenInfo Allowed

getTokenInfo is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getTokenInfo": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ethereum Tools, apply this rule, and every getTokenInfo call is checked against it from then on.
