Part of the Blockscout MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call get_tokens_by_address to retrieve information from Blockscout MCP Server 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 get_tokens_by_address 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.

Get comprehensive ERC20 token holdings for an address with enriched metadata and market data. Returns detailed token information including contract details (name, symbol, decimals), market metrics (exchange rate, market cap, volume), holders count, and actual balance (provided as is, without adjusting by decimals). Essential for portfolio analysis, wallet auditing, and DeFi position tracking. **SUPPORTS PAGINATION**: If response includes 'pagination' field, use the provided next_call to get additional pages. . It is categorised as a Read tool in the Blockscout MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_tokens_by_address. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Blockscout MCP Server MCP server.
get_tokens_by_address is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_tokens_by_address rule in your Intercept 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for get_tokens_by_address. 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.
get_tokens_by_address is provided by the Blockscout MCP Server MCP server (blockscout/mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
