Get account information
AI agents call get_account to retrieve information from Flow MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves account data from the Flow blockchain without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation similar to 'get_balance' and 'get_transaction' on the same server. The blast radius if misused is minimal: an attacker might enumerate accounts or gather intelligence, but cannot modify state or move funds.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_account' and description states 'Get account information' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get account information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Flow MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Flow MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_account: 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 Flow MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_account 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_account 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_account. 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_account is provided by the Flow MCP Server MCP server (lmcmz/flow-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
