How to control get_coin_price ↓

AI agents call get_coin_price to retrieve information from Agenti without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool queries public cryptocurrency price information from CoinGecko. It retrieves data only and has no side effects on accounts, balances, or financial positions. While the server enables financial operations, this specific tool is a read-only data lookup with minimal risk even if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get current price, 24h change, market cap, and volume' - purely retrieval of publicly available market data with no modifications, transfers, or execution.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_coin_price 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 get_coin_price:

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

get_coin_price 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.
