THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_account_snapshot needs a policy

This tool retrieves account state information (balances, positions, holdings) without modifying data or executing financial transactions. While the severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because the data retrieved could be sensitive financial information that could inform malicious decisions (e.g., targeting accounts with high balances), the tool itself performs only a read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_account_snapshot' and description states 'Get the account snapshot for the user's Binance account.' The verb 'Get' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or execution of trades.

POLICY

How to control get_account_snapshot

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Binance MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_account_snapshot:

policy.json

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

get_account_snapshot is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Binance MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
