What get_contracts does on metagraphed — Bittensor subnet operational registry
AI agents call get_contracts to retrieve information from metagraphed — Bittensor subnet operational registry without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
sort | string | — | Column to rank the result by; pair with `order` for direction. Options are per-tool; see this parameter's enum. |
limit | integer | — | Maximum rows to return (1-1000). Defaults to 20 when omitted. The response reports the limit actually applied. |
order | string | — | Sort direction for the chosen sort key: `asc` smallest-first, `desc` largest-first. |
cursor | integer | — | Rows to skip before the first returned row (0-1000000). Defaults to 0; a non-numeric value resolves to 0 and the response reports it. |
context | string | — | Optional: the user's goal, briefly. Analytics only; does not affect the result. |

The rule that runs get_contracts 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_contracts, this is the rule to start with:
get_contracts 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_contracts call is checked against it from then on.
