Critical Risk

Why sell_token needs a policy

The tool name 'sell_token' combined with the context of a swap/DEX platform (pumpswap) and sibling tools for buying tokens and getting prices indicates this tool executes a financial transaction to sell cryptocurrency tokens. Despite the empty description, the naming convention and server context make the financial classification highly likely. Misuse could result in unauthorized token sales and loss of funds.

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

How to control sell_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 sell_token:

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

Any call to sell_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.
