get-token-balances

Check multiple ERC20 token balances for a wallet in a single call using Multicall3. Much more efficient than calling get-token-balance repeatedly. Also returns the native token balance. Use this to scan a wallet's portfolio across many tokens on one chain.

Part of the LI FI server.

get-token-balances is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get-token-balances to retrieve information from LI FI without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get-token-balances only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get-token-balances only ever does what you allow.

What does the get-token-balances tool do? +

Check multiple ERC20 token balances for a wallet in a single call using Multicall3. Much more efficient than calling get-token-balance repeatedly. Also returns the native token balance. Use this to scan a wallet's portfolio across many tokens on one chain.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the LI FI MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get-token-balances? +

Register the LI FI MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-token-balances: 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 LI FI. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get-token-balances? +

get-token-balances is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get-token-balances? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get-token-balances 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.

How do I block get-token-balances completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get-token-balances. 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.

What MCP server provides get-token-balances? +

get-token-balances is provided by the LI FI MCP server (li-fi/lifi-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every LI FI tool call.
