AI agents call getName to retrieve information from Agentek Eth without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation on blockchain data. It retrieves immutable token metadata (name) from an ERC20 contract without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any state-changing operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent cannot cause harm by repeatedly calling this function.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getName' and description 'Gets the name of an ERC20 token' indicate a data retrieval operation with no side effects. This is a simple query against smart contract state to fetch a token's name property.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getName gives an agent:
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 getName:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getName": {}
}
}getName is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Gets the name of an ERC20 token. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agentek Eth MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Agentek Eth MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getName: 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 Agentek Eth. Nothing to install.
getName 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 getName 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 getName. 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.
getName is provided by the Agentek Eth MCP server (nanidao/agentek). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Agentek Eth, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
