AI agents call onyx_base_contract_verify to retrieve information from Onyx Mcp without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though onyx_base_contract_verify only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Contract verification + ABI metadata for any Base address. Returns is_verified, contract name, compiler version, language, optimization, ABI entry count, license, source code size. Auto-detects EIP-1967/OZ/UUPS proxies and resolves to the implementation contract. Backed by Blockscout (free, no auth). Use before any swap or interaction — unverified contracts are an instant red flag. (price: $0.002 USDC, tier: metered). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Onyx Mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Onyx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for onyx_base_contract_verify: 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 Onyx Mcp. Nothing to install.
onyx_base_contract_verify 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 onyx_base_contract_verify 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 onyx_base_contract_verify. 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.
onyx_base_contract_verify is provided by the Onyx MCP server (https://onyx-actions.onrender.com/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
