Why get_token_info needs a policy

This tool only retrieves and returns token metadata—information that is static and publicly available on a blockchain. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. Even in the context of a stablecoin payment system, querying token information poses minimal security risk as it cannot be misused to cause financial harm, data loss, or unauthorized actions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get metadata for a TIP-20 token including name, symbol, decimals, and total supply.' The verb 'Get' and the focus on retrieving immutable metadata (name, symbol, decimals, total supply) indicates read-only data retrieval with no side…

POLICY

How to control get_token_info

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

policy.json

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

get_token_info 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 Tempo — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
