RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs contract_get_code safely

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

contract_get_code Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

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

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

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

FAQ

Questions about contract_get_code

What does the contract_get_code tool do? +

Returns every verified source file available from Base Blockscout, deployed bytecode when available, and proxy implementation code. Read-only: use the complete result to assess honeypot indicators; it is not a safety verdict. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Awesome Base MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on contract_get_code? +

Register the Awesome Base MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for contract_get_code: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Awesome Base. Nothing to install.

What risk level is contract_get_code? +

contract_get_code is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit contract_get_code? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the contract_get_code rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block contract_get_code completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for contract_get_code. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides contract_get_code? +

contract_get_code is provided by the Awesome Base MCP server (B5-Software/awesome-base-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
