network_status

On-chain public data (no API key): ETH gas prices, BTC recommended fees, mempool stats, and recent blocks.

Part of the Bitget server.

network_status is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call network_status to retrieve information from Bitget without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though network_status only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access network_status gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so network_status only ever does what you allow.

What does the network_status tool do? +

On-chain public data (no API key): ETH gas prices, BTC recommended fees, mempool stats, and recent blocks.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Bitget MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on network_status? +

Register the Bitget MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for network_status: 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 Bitget. Nothing to install.

What risk level is network_status? +

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

Can I rate-limit network_status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the network_status 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 network_status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for network_status. 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 network_status? +

network_status is provided by the Bitget MCP server (bitget-ai/bitget-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Bitget tool call.
