What GetChainIdByName does on Phalcon

AI agents call GetChainIdByName to retrieve information from Phalcon without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why GetChainIdByName needs a policy

The tool name indicates a simple query or lookup function that retrieves a chain ID from a name—a read-only data retrieval operation with no side effects. However, confidence is moderate (0.55) due to the empty description, which prevents definitive confirmation of the tool's actual behavior and parameters.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetChainIdByName' suggests a lookup/retrieval operation that returns a chain identifier based on a name parameter.

How to control GetChainIdByName

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Phalcon, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for GetChainIdByName:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "GetChainIdByName": {}
  }
}

GetChainIdByName is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Phalcon — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
