Why safeTransferERC721 needs a policy

This tool transfers an NFT (a digital asset with financial/monetary value) from the connected wallet to another address. NFT transfers are irreversible on-chain and represent movement of a potentially valuable asset. This qualifies as Financial due to moving assets of financial value, and the severity is critical because a misuse could result in permanent, irreversible loss of valuable NFTs from the user's wallet.

POLICY

How to control safeTransferERC721

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 safeTransferERC721:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "safeTransferERC721": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to safeTransferERC721 is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
