WHAT IT DOES

What get_info does on Lightning Wallet

AI agents call get_info to retrieve information from Lightning Wallet without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_info is rated Low

This is a purely informational query that retrieves service metadata. It matches the Read category pattern of querying data without side effects. Given the Lightning Wallet server's financial nature, the context is noted, but this specific tool performs no financial operations, no execution, no modifications, and no destructive actions.

From the tool's definition Tool performs read-only retrieval of service information ("version, status, limits, and supported features"). Returns metadata with no side effects, no state modification, and explicitly requires no API key or authentication.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_info safely

get_info Allowed

get_info is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_info": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Lightning Wallet, apply this rule, and every get_info call is checked against it from then on.
