find_recent_calls

Recent successful txs to a contract grouped by selector, with per-slot calldata samples + type hints. For reverse-engineering ABIs of unverified contracts. Requires ETHERSCAN_API_KEY.

Part of the Kosyak Evm server.

find_recent_calls is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call find_recent_calls to retrieve information from Kosyak Evm without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though find_recent_calls only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so find_recent_calls only ever does what you allow.

What does the find_recent_calls tool do? +

Recent successful txs to a contract grouped by selector, with per-slot calldata samples + type hints. For reverse-engineering ABIs of unverified contracts. Requires ETHERSCAN_API_KEY.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kosyak Evm MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on find_recent_calls? +

Register the Kosyak Evm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_recent_calls: 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 Kosyak Evm. Nothing to install.

What risk level is find_recent_calls? +

find_recent_calls is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit find_recent_calls? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the find_recent_calls 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.

How do I block find_recent_calls completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for find_recent_calls. 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.

What MCP server provides find_recent_calls? +

find_recent_calls is provided by the Kosyak Evm MCP server (kosyak-evm-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Kosyak Evm tool call.
