AI agents call api_nfd_get_nfd_activity to retrieve information from Algorand MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves historical activity or change logs for NFDs (Name-based Finance Domains or similar Algorand assets). No data is created, modified, deleted, or financial transactions are initiated. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with no ability to alter state. Classification as Read with low severity is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_nfd_activity' and description 'Get activity/changes for NFDs' indicate a retrieval/query operation. The verb 'Get' and context of fetching activity logs or historical data are characteristic of read-only operations with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access api_nfd_get_nfd_activity gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Algorand MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for api_nfd_get_nfd_activity:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"api_nfd_get_nfd_activity": {}
}
} api_nfd_get_nfd_activity is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get activity/changes for NFDs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Algorand MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Algorand MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for api_nfd_get_nfd_activity: 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 Algorand MCP. Nothing to install.
api_nfd_get_nfd_activity 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 api_nfd_get_nfd_activity 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 api_nfd_get_nfd_activity. 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.
api_nfd_get_nfd_activity is provided by the Algorand MCP server (goplausible/algorand-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Algorand MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
