check_owner

Check if a wallet owns a specific token or NFT.

How to control check_owner ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool only reads/retrieves wallet ownership data. It has no side effects, does not execute code or transactions, does not delete or modify data, and does not move funds. The query is informational only, making it a Read operation with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Check if a wallet owns a specific token or NFT' — a query operation that retrieves ownership information without modifying, executing external operations, or causing financial effects.

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

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

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

check_owner 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 BNB Chain MCP — 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.

How do I enforce a policy on check_owner? +

Register the BNB Chain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for check_owner: 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 BNB Chain MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is check_owner? +

check_owner is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit check_owner? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the check_owner 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.

How do I block check_owner completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for check_owner. 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.

What MCP server provides check_owner? +

check_owner is provided by the BNB Chain MCP server (nirholas/bnbchain-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every BNB Chain MCP tool call.
