Resolve a Hedera account ID to its on-chain identity profile including account
AI agents call identity_resolve to retrieve information from Hedera Toolbox without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves/queries on-chain identity data for a given account ID. It is a read-only lookup with no side effects. Severity is low as it only reads public blockchain data, though it operates on a live blockchain with HBAR micropayments per call.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Resolve a Hedera account ID to its on-chain identity profile including account. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hedera Toolbox MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Hedera Toolbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for identity_resolve: 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 Hedera Toolbox. Nothing to install.
identity_resolve 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 identity_resolve 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 identity_resolve. 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.
identity_resolve is provided by the Hedera Toolbox MCP server (mountainmystic/hederatoolbox). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
