resolve ENS/Basename to address (forward lookup works for both .eth and .base.eth)
AI agents call resolve_name to retrieve information from BaseQL MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only forward lookup, resolving a human-readable name (ENS/Basename) to a blockchain address. It retrieves data with no side effects, modifications, or destructive actions.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
resolve ENS/Basename to address (forward lookup works for both .eth and .base.eth). It is categorised as a Read tool in the BaseQL MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the BaseQL MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for resolve_name: 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 BaseQL MCP Server. Nothing to install.
resolve_name 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 resolve_name 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 resolve_name. 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.
resolve_name is provided by the BaseQL MCP Server MCP server (jnix2007/baseql-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
