What getNFTMetadata does on MCP Ethers Wallet
AI agents call getNFTMetadata 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.
Why getNFTMetadata is rated Low
Metadata retrieval is a non-destructive query operation that has no side effects on blockchain state or wallet assets. The tool retrieves data from an NFT contract (metadata URI or attributes) without modifying any state. Even if an AI agent misuses this tool, it cannot cause financial loss, execute arbitrary code, or damage data. Low severity reflects the minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getNFTMetadata' indicates retrieval of NFT metadata. Sibling tools like 'erc721_balanceOf', 'erc1155_uri', and 'erc20_getTokenInfo' are all Read operations that query blockchain state without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access

getNFTMetadata is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
