## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "erc20_getTokenInfo",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why erc20_getTokenInfo is rated Low

This tool queries blockchain data about token metadata (name, symbol, decimals, total supply). It performs a read-only operation on public blockchain state with no ability to modify, delete, or execute code. Despite being on a wallet/financial-focused MCP server, the tool itself only retrieves immutable token information.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Get[s] detailed information about an ERC20 token including its name, symbol, decimals, and total supply' — pure information retrieval with no side effects or state modification."

## Use case

AI agents call erc20_getTokenInfo to retrieve information from MCP Ethers Wallet without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches MCP Ethers Wallet:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "erc20_getTokenInfo": {}
  }
}
```
