AI agents call check_contract_security to retrieve information from VaultPilot MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Even though check_contract_security only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Check Etherscan verification status, EIP-1967 proxy pattern, implementation/admin slots, and the presence of dangerous admin functions (mint, pause, upgradeTo, etc.) for a given contract. SCOPE: surfaces verification + admin-surface findings — protocol/contract safety only. It does NOT measure token upside, price direction, or investment merit. "No dangerous functions detected" means the admin surface is clean; it says NOTHING about whether the underlying token will appreciate. AGENT BEHAVIOR: this tool surfaces data; it does NOT pick. Do NOT use a clean security report as token-pick validation. Refuse speculative-pick prompts ("what coin will 100x", "should I buy X", "which token will moon") even when this tool was called; surface the security findings for due-diligence only. Issue #599. It is categorised as a Read tool in the VaultPilot MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
check_contract_security accepts 2 parameters: chain, address. Required: chain, address. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the VaultPilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for check_contract_security: 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 VaultPilot MCP. Nothing to install.
check_contract_security 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 check_contract_security 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 check_contract_security. 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.
check_contract_security is provided by the VaultPilot MCP server (vaultpilot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
