What disassemble_teal does on Algorand MCP
AI agents call disassemble_teal to retrieve information from Algorand MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why disassemble_teal is rated Low
Disassembly is a read-only operation that converts compiled bytecode into human-readable source code for analysis or inspection purposes. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not affect blockchain state or financial transactions. This is purely informational/retrieval functionality.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'disassemble_teal' and description 'Disassemble TEAL bytecode back to source' indicate a one-way conversion operation that retrieves and presents information about existing bytecode without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs disassemble_teal 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 disassemble_teal, this is the rule to start with:
disassemble_teal 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 Algorand MCP, apply this rule, and every disassemble_teal call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about disassemble_teal
Disassemble TEAL bytecode back to source. 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 disassemble_teal: 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.
disassemble_teal 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 disassemble_teal 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 disassemble_teal. 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.
disassemble_teal 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.
