What get_subtensor does on Crypto Intelligence
AI agents call get_subtensor to retrieve information from Crypto Intelligence without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

detail | boolean | — | Include subnet list |

Why get_subtensor is rated Low
This is a read-only query to a blockchain node returning immutable state information. The $0.01 cost is a micropayment for API access, not a financial transaction that moves value or creates obligations. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed — only queried.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_subtensor' and description 'Get Bittensor subtensor chain status from own lite node — block height, peers, sync' indicate retrieval of chain status data (block height, peers, sync state) with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_subtensor safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Crypto Intelligence, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_subtensor, this is the rule to start with:
get_subtensor is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Crypto Intelligence, apply this rule, and every get_subtensor call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_subtensor
Get Bittensor subtensor chain status from own lite node — block height, peers, sync. $0.01. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Crypto Intelligence MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_subtensor accepts 1 parameter: detail. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Crypto Intelligence MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_subtensor: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Crypto Intelligence. Nothing to install.
get_subtensor is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_subtensor rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_subtensor. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_subtensor is provided by the Crypto Intelligence MCP server (https://api.carbon-cashmere.de/mcp/sse). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
