Why starknet_getClassAt needs a policy

This is a read-only blockchain query tool. It retrieves the contract class definition at a specified address in a given block—purely informational data retrieval with no side effects, state modifications, code execution, or financial impact. The low severity reflects that exposing historical contract definitions poses minimal risk even if queried arbitrarily by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'starknet_getClassAt' and description 'Get the contract class definition in the given block at the given address' indicate a query operation that retrieves contract class information without modifying state.

POLICY

How to control starknet_getClassAt

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "starknet_getClassAt": {}
  }
}

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