This tool retrieves cryptocurrency balance data from a blockchain without modifying state, executing transactions, or causing any side effects. It is purely informational and belongs in the Read category. While the server enables financial operations broadly, this specific tool only queries balances. Severity is low because reading balance information poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'bnb_get_balance' and description 'Get BNB native balance plus USDT and BUSD token balances for a wallet address' indicate read-only retrieval of balance information with no modification or execution of transactions.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access bnb_get_balance gives an agent:

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

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

bnb_get_balance 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 Agenti — 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.
