The rule that runs get_account safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and metagraphed — Bittensor subnet operational registry, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_account, this is the rule to start with:
get_account 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 metagraphed — Bittensor subnet operational registry, apply this rule, and every get_account call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_account
Fetch a cross-subnet activity summary for one account by its SS58 address (a hotkey OR coldkey): total chain-event count, the subnets it has touched, first/last block and timestamp seen, a per-kind event breakdown, where its hotkey is currently registered (with stake and validator permit), its bounded recent signing activity, and its 10 most recent events. The natural starting point for 'what is this wallet doing across the network'.
