Why wallet_listTokens needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate token holdings in a wallet. It retrieves and displays information about BSV21 tokens but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any state-changing operations. The blast radius is minimal since it only exposes wallet token inventory data without ability to transfer, burn, or manipulate tokens.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'wallet_listTokens' and description 'List BSV21 token outputs in the wallet' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing token data without modification, deletion, or execution of external commands.

POLICY

How to control wallet_listTokens

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

policy.json

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

wallet_listTokens 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 Bitcoin SV 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.
