Why get_user_state needs a policy

The naming convention ('get_') and context of sibling tools on a financial data API server (Hyperliquid exchange info) strongly suggest this retrieves user state information rather than modifying it. No description provided, but the consistent pattern of read-only query tools on this server reduces confidence only moderately.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_user_state' combined with sibling tools that are all read-only queries (get_all_mids, get_candles_snapshot, get_coin_funding_history, get_l2_snapshot, get_perp_metadata, get_spot_metadata, get_user_fees, get_user_funding_history,…

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_user_state gives an agent:

How to control get_user_state

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Hyperliquid Info, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_user_state:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_user_state": {}
  }
}

get_user_state is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Hyperliquid Info — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
