WHAT IT DOES

What getAddressInfo does on Agentek Eth

AI agents call getAddressInfo to retrieve information from Agentek Eth without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why getAddressInfo is rated Low

This tool only retrieves and queries blockchain data about an Ethereum address. It performs no state changes, executes no code, moves no funds, and produces no side effects. It is a simple read-only information lookup, analogous to a blockchain explorer query.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] detailed information about an address' including balances, counts, and contract status. Keywords: 'Get', 'information', 'balance', 'count' all indicate pure retrieval with no modification or execution of code.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs getAddressInfo safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Agentek Eth, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getAddressInfo, this is the rule to start with:

getAddressInfo Allowed

getAddressInfo is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Agentek Eth, apply this rule, and every getAddressInfo call is checked against it from then on.
