What list-networks does on Hats Protocol MCP Server
AI agents call list-networks 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.
Why list-networks is rated Low
This tool retrieves and displays supported blockchain networks and their configurations. It has no side effects, does not execute code or transactions, and does not modify any data. It is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity since the blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent cannot cause harm by listing network information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-networks' and description 'List all supported blockchain networks with their configurations' indicate a read-only retrieval operation that queries configuration data without modifying state or executing transactions.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list-networks 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 list-networks, this is the rule to start with:
list-networks 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 Hats Protocol MCP Server, apply this rule, and every list-networks call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about list-networks
List all supported blockchain networks with their configurations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hats Protocol MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Hats Protocol MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list-networks: 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 Hats Protocol MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list-networks 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 list-networks 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 list-networks. 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.
list-networks is provided by the Hats Protocol MCP Server MCP server (dennisonbertram/mcp-hats). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
