The context of Algorand blockchain operations does not change the nature of this specific tool, which is a simple decoding helper.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'decode_uint64' and description 'Decode bytes to a uint64' indicate a parsing/decoding operation that reads and transforms data without modifying state or executing arbitrary operations.

The rule that runs decode_uint64 safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Algorand MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For decode_uint64, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "decode_uint64": {}
  }
}
