# get_erc1155_balance

chainpeek: Get an account's ERC-1155 token balance for a token id on Ethereum, Base or Robinhood Chain. For an ERC-721 owner use get_nft_owner. Returns balanceOf(account, id) of an ERC-1155 contract (balance, a raw integer string), with an ERC-165 check (is_erc1155) and the block read. A contract without balanceOf(address,uint256) is a 422 not_erc1155 (not charged). Ethereum, Base and Robinhood only; read-only: nothing is signed or sent. RPC reads are cached up to 30 s. A bad address, hash, hex string, block or range is a 422 before any payment (not charged). Typically under 1 s. Price: USD 0.001. Free: 10 chain reads per IP per UTC day.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_erc1155_balance",
    "arguments": {
      "chain": "<chain>",
      "account": "<account>",
      "contract": "<contract>",

## Why get_erc1155_balance is rated Low

Even though get_erc1155_balance only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

## Use case

AI agents call get_erc1155_balance to retrieve information from Tanod without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Tanod:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_erc1155_balance": {}
  }
}
```
