What get_near_account does on Tanod
AI agents call get_near_account 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
account_id | string | Yes | NEAR account: a named account (alice.near, app.sub.near), a 64-hex implicit account or an 0x + 40-hex ETH-implicit account. Case-folded to lower case. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_near_account is rated Low
Even though get_near_account 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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_near_account safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tanod, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_near_account, this is the rule to start with:
get_near_account 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 Tanod, apply this rule, and every get_near_account call is checked against it from then on.
