Why prepareERC721Transfer needs a policy

This tool prepares a transaction to transfer an ERC721 NFT (a unique, potentially high-value asset) by constructing transaction data ready for signing and broadcasting. While it doesn't execute the transfer itself (it only prepares the data), it is a necessary step in the transfer pipeline and produces output directly intended to move ownership of an NFT.

From the tool's definition Prepare an ERC721 NFT transfer transaction for signing. Returns transaction data that can be signed and broadcast.

POLICY

How to control prepareERC721Transfer

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 prepareERC721Transfer:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "prepareERC721Transfer": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "prepareerc721transfer_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

prepareERC721Transfer stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
