Why get_base_estimate_gas is rated Low
This tool performs a read-only estimation of transaction costs on the Base blockchain. It returns calculated gas fee information without executing any on-chain operations, transferring funds, or modifying data. The function retrieves/queries data (gas estimates) with no side effects, fitting squarely within the Read category. The 'max 4KB data' limit further indicates it's a bounded query operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_base_estimate_gas' and description 'Estimate gas for a bounded call on Base (max 4KB data)' indicate a query operation that retrieves gas estimation data without modifying state or executing transactions.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_base_estimate_gas safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_base_estimate_gas, this is the rule to start with:
get_base_estimate_gas 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 Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity, apply this rule, and every get_base_estimate_gas call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_base_estimate_gas
Estimate gas for a bounded call on Base (max 4KB data). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

Register the Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_base_estimate_gas: 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 Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity. Nothing to install.
get_base_estimate_gas 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 get_base_estimate_gas 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 get_base_estimate_gas. 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.
get_base_estimate_gas is provided by the Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity MCP server (https://api.delx.ai/v1/mcp?src=registry). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
