Deploy a new ERC-20 token via the SimpleTokenFactory on Base mainnet. Requires DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY env var. Costs 0.0005 ETH deploy fee.
AI agents use deploy_token to commit financial operations through Base Token Factory — usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.
This tool spends real ETH (0.0005 ETH deploy fee) on Base mainnet to deploy a smart contract, directly committing a financial obligation. It also creates an irreversible on-chain artifact (deployed contract cannot be undone). Financial is the most severe applicable category given the monetary cost and use of a private key to sign transactions.

Register the Base Token Factory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for deploy_token: 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 Base Token Factory. Nothing to install.
deploy_token is a Financial tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the deploy_token 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 deploy_token. 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.
deploy_token is provided by the Base Token Factory MCP server (lordbasilaiassistant-sudo/base-token-factory-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
