Part of the Name Whisper MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call unwrap_name to retrieve information from Name Whisper without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though unwrap_name only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Unwrap a .eth name from the ENS NameWrapper back to BaseRegistrar. This converts the name from an ERC-1155 token back to an ERC-721 token. All fuses are cleared upon unwrapping. Will fail if the CANNOT_UNWRAP fuse has been burned — that restriction is permanent. Use cases: - Reverting a wrapped name to standard ERC-721 for compatibility - Regaining full control after wrapping without burning CANNOT_UNWRAP - Moving a name to a platform that only supports ERC-721. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Name Whisper MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for unwrap_name. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Name Whisper MCP server.
unwrap_name 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 unwrap_name rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for unwrap_name. 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.
unwrap_name is provided by the Name Whisper MCP server (namewhisper/ens-tools). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
