AI agents call getWNSOwner 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 simple read operation to retrieve the owner address associated with a .wei (Ethereum Name Service variant) domain. It queries immutable blockchain data and produces no side effects, modifications, or external operations. The presence of write/execute/financial tools elsewhere on the server (depositWETH, canUnlockSlow) does not change the classification of this specific read-only lookup tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getWNSOwner' and description 'Get the owner address of a .wei name' indicate a lookup/query operation that retrieves ownership information without modifying or executing anything.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getWNSOwner 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 getWNSOwner:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getWNSOwner": {}
}
}getWNSOwner is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get the owner address of a .wei name. 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 getWNSOwner: 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.
getWNSOwner 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 getWNSOwner 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 getWNSOwner. 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.
getWNSOwner 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.
Free to start. No card required.
