Get info about a deployed ERC-20 token — name, symbol, decimals, total supply, and optionally check a balance.
AI agents call get_token_info to retrieve information from Base Token Factory without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs read-only operations on blockchain state: it fetches immutable token properties and account balances. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The operation is a standard blockchain RPC query with no blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves token metadata ('name, symbol, decimals, total supply') and optionally queries a balance. The description uses 'Get info' and 'check a balance' — purely informational queries with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get info about a deployed ERC-20 token — name, symbol, decimals, total supply, and optionally check a balance. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Base Token Factory MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Base Token Factory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_token_info: 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.
get_token_info 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_info 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_info. 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_info 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.
