Queries information about an existing ERC-20 token, including name, symbol, decimals, and total supply.
AI agents call getTokenInfo to retrieve information from Token Minter without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves static token metadata without modifying, executing code, or triggering transactions. It is a straightforward read operation on blockchain token state. No financial transactions, irreversible actions, or code execution occur. Low severity because misuse cannot cause harm—an agent could only retrieve information that is already public on the blockchain.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getTokenInfo' and description stating it 'Queries information about an existing ERC-20 token' with read-only attributes (name, symbol, decimals, total supply) indicates data retrieval with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getTokenInfo gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Token Minter, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getTokenInfo:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getTokenInfo": {}
}
}getTokenInfo is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Queries information about an existing ERC-20 token, including name, symbol, decimals, and total supply. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Token Minter MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Token Minter MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getTokenInfo: 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 Token Minter. Nothing to install.
getTokenInfo 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 getTokenInfo 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 getTokenInfo. 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.
getTokenInfo is provided by the Token Minter MCP server (kukapay/token-minter-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Token Minter, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
