WHAT IT DOES

What get-tree-structure does on Hats Protocol MCP Server

AI agents call get-tree-structure to retrieve information from Hats Protocol MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get-tree-structure is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays organizational hierarchy information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational, analogous to a SELECT query in databases. The 'prepare-' prefixed siblings (prepare-mint-hat, prepare-transfer-hat, prepare-burn-hat) are the tools that would modify state; this tool only analyzes existing structure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-tree-structure' and description 'Visualize the hierarchical structure' indicate data retrieval and analysis with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get-tree-structure safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hats Protocol MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get-tree-structure, this is the rule to start with:

get-tree-structure Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get-tree-structure": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hats Protocol MCP Server, apply this rule, and every get-tree-structure call is checked against it from then on.
