What getAsset does on Solana MCP Demo

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

Why getAsset needs a policy

This tool performs a lookup/query operation on the Solana blockchain to retrieve information about an asset. It retrieves data without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The tool name 'getAsset' and description 'look up' clearly indicate a Read category operation. Low severity because misuse would only expose or retrieve existing blockchain data that is already public on a blockchain ledger.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it is "used to look up" an NFT or Token, which is a retrieval operation with no side effects. The parameter is a public key address, a read-only query.
