WHAT IT DOES

What get_protocols does on REI Crypto MCP Server

AI agents call get_protocols to retrieve information from REI Crypto MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_protocols is rated Low

This tool retrieves or lists protocol data without side effects. It follows the Read category pattern of querying data (similar to sibling tools like 'get_active_users' and 'get_balances_address'). Severity is low because exposing protocol metadata poses minimal risk of misuse—no financial transactions, code execution, or data destruction are possible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_protocols' and description 'GET /api/protocols' indicate a data retrieval endpoint that queries protocol information from crypto data APIs (DefiLlama Pro, CoinGecko Pro, Arkham Intelligence).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_protocols safely

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

get_protocols Allowed

get_protocols 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": {
    "get_protocols": {}
  }
}

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect REI Crypto MCP Server, apply this rule, and every get_protocols call is checked against it from then on.
