Why buy_token needs a policy

Despite an empty description, the tool name 'buy_token' in the context of a PumpSwap MCP server (a decentralized exchange platform) with sibling tools like 'sell_token' and 'get_token_price' clearly indicates this tool executes financial transactions — purchasing tokens. This constitutes a Financial action as it commits financial obligations and moves assets.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'buy_token' on a server named 'pumpswap-mcp' alongside sibling tools 'sell_token', 'get_token_price', and 'get_pool_data' strongly implies token purchasing on a swap/DEX platform.

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

How to control buy_token

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "buy_token": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to buy_token is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Pumpswap — 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.
