This tool queries the Tally governance API to retrieve proposal information. The 'Fetch' operation is a read-only query that retrieves existing data about DAO governance proposals. There is no indication the tool modifies data, executes code, deletes records, or commits financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'tallyProposals' and description 'Fetch proposals from the Tally governance API' — uses verb 'Fetch' which retrieves data without modification or side effects.

POLICY

How to control tallyProposals

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 tallyProposals:

policy.json

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

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

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