AI agents call getERC721Owner to retrieve information from MCP Ethers Wallet without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query to retrieve ownership information from an ERC721 contract. It has no side effects, does not execute arbitrary code, does not modify data, and does not move funds. The only risk is potential information disclosure (which NFT is owned by which address), but this is typically public blockchain data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getERC721Owner' and description 'Get the current owner of a specific NFT token' indicate a query operation that retrieves blockchain data without modifying state or executing code.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Ethers Wallet, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getERC721Owner:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getERC721Owner": {}
}
}getERC721Owner is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
