What get_ledger_device_info does on VaultPilot MCP
AI agents call get_ledger_device_info to retrieve information from VaultPilot MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_ledger_device_info is rated Low
This tool retrieves device metadata (app name, version, connection status) with no side effects. It is purely informational and diagnostic, suitable for an agent to verify device state before performing other operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an agent cannot cause harm via this read-only query.
From the tool's definition Tool is explicitly labeled 'READ-ONLY' and 'probe the connected Ledger device' to 'report' app information. Uses a GET_APP_AND_VERSION APDU and returns device status—no data modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations occur.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_ledger_device_info safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and VaultPilot MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_ledger_device_info, this is the rule to start with:
get_ledger_device_info 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 VaultPilot MCP, apply this rule, and every get_ledger_device_info call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_ledger_device_info
READ-ONLY — probe the connected Ledger device over USB HID and report which app is currently open (name + version), plus an actionable hint for the agent to relay. Uses the dashboard-level GET_APP_AND_VERSION APDU so it works whether the user is on the dashboard or inside a chain app — you get 'BOLOS' / 'OS' for the dashboard and e.g. 'Solana' 1.10.2 / 'Ethereum' 1.13.0 / 'Tron' 0.2.0 / 'Bitcoin' 2.3.0 when an app is open. deviceConnected: false is returned cleanly (with a hint) when no Ledger is plugged in or the udev rules are missing on Linux; the tool never throws. Call this BEFORE pair_ledger_solana / pair_ledger_tron so you can replace 'open the Solana app and enable blind-signing' with a context-aware instruction like 'I see your Bitcoin app is open — switch to Solana (device → right button → Solana → both buttons)'. One USB round-trip; no chain RPC calls. It is categorised as a Read tool in the VaultPilot MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the VaultPilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_ledger_device_info: 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.
get_ledger_device_info 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 get_ledger_device_info 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 get_ledger_device_info. 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.
get_ledger_device_info 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.
