What getTotalSupply does on Agentek Eth
AI agents call getTotalSupply 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.
Why getTotalSupply is rated Low
This is a read-only operation that queries blockchain data. It retrieves the total supply metric of an ERC20 token, similar to a GET request. There are no side effects, no state changes, no code execution, and no financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access public token supply information.
From the tool's definition The tool description states it 'Gets the total supply of an ERC20 token' — a pure query operation that retrieves data without modifying state or executing arbitrary code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getTotalSupply 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 getTotalSupply, this is the rule to start with:
getTotalSupply is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Agentek Eth, apply this rule, and every getTotalSupply call is checked against it from then on.
