Get full detail for a single token.
AI agents call get_token_detail to retrieve information from Basis MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about a token without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query that has no side effects on the blockchain or any data state. The low severity reflects that retrieving public token metadata poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_token_detail' and description 'Get full detail for a single token' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution. The verb 'get' and 'detail' are passive query operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get full detail for a single token. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Basis MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Basis MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_token_detail: 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 Basis MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_token_detail 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 get_token_detail 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 get_token_detail. 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.
get_token_detail is provided by the Basis MCP Server MCP server (launch-on-basis/mcp-ts). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
