WHAT IT DOES

What check_address_type does on Token Info MCP Server

AI agents call check_address_type to retrieve information from Token Info 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 check_address_type is rated Low

This tool appears to classify or identify an Ethereum address type (contract vs EOA, proxy vs implementation, etc.) without modifying state. It fits the Read category as a lookup/detection function. Confidence is moderate (0.85) due to empty description; if the tool actually executes arbitrary operations, severity could increase, but context strongly suggests passive inspection.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'check_address_type' suggests a query/inspection function. Server context indicates 'smart contract analysis' and 'detection' of contract types. Sibling tools 'get_contract_roles' and 'get_proxy_admin' are clearly read operations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs check_address_type safely

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

check_address_type Allowed

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

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

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

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