Why getFeeHistory needs a policy

This tool retrieves historical data about Ethereum gas fees. It does not modify state, execute transactions, delete data, or commit financial obligations. It is a straightforward read operation with no blast radius if misused by an AI agent—it can only return data that already exists on the blockchain. Classification as Read is appropriate.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getFeeHistory' and description 'Get historical gas fee info' indicate data retrieval with no side effects. This is a query operation that fetches past gas fee information from Ethereum blockchain history.

How to control getFeeHistory

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getFeeHistory": {}
  }
}

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

  1. Create a free account and register Agentek Eth — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
