Decode raw return data from an eth_call into typed values using a provided ABI and function name on Ethereum mainnet. Pure computation — no RPC call needed.

AI agents invoke eth_decode_return to trigger processes or run actions in Boar blockchain MCP (advanced). Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
eth_decode_return can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access eth_decode_return gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other execute tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Decode raw return data from an eth_call into typed values using a provided ABI and function name on Ethereum mainnet. Pure computation — no RPC call needed.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Boar blockchain MCP (advanced) MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Boar blockchain MCP (advanced) MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for eth_decode_return: 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 Boar blockchain MCP (advanced). Nothing to install.
eth_decode_return is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the eth_decode_return 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for eth_decode_return. 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.
eth_decode_return is provided by the Boar blockchain MCP (advanced) MCP server (boar-network/blockchain-advanced). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
