concat_hex

Concatenate multiple hex strings together

How to control concat_hex ↓

AI agents call concat_hex as a supporting operation in BNB Chain MCP workflows.

Low Risk

This tool performs a pure data manipulation operation — joining hex strings — with no side effects, no data retrieval, no execution, and no financial implications. It is a utility/encoding helper that operates entirely locally on provided inputs.

From the tool's definition Concatenate multiple hex strings together

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "concat_hex": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "concat_hex_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

concat_hex gets a rate cap, and 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.

What does the concat_hex tool do? +

Concatenate multiple hex strings together. It is categorised as a Other tool in the BNB Chain MCP MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on concat_hex? +

Register the BNB Chain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for concat_hex: 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 concat_hex? +

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

Can I rate-limit concat_hex? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the concat_hex 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 concat_hex completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for concat_hex. 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 concat_hex? +

concat_hex 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.
