Create a new Algorand account

How to control create_account ↓

AI agents use create_account to create or update resources in BNB Chain MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your BNB Chain MCP environment.

Medium Risk

This tool performs account creation, which is a Write operation—it establishes new state in the system. The severity is medium rather than high because account creation itself is reversible (the account can be abandoned or deleted), though it does create a footprint on the blockchain.

From the tool's definition Tool is described as 'Create a new Algorand account', which creates a new data entity (a blockchain account) in a reversible manner.

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_account": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_account_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_account stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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 create_account tool do? +

Create a new Algorand account. It is categorised as a Write tool in the BNB Chain MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_account? +

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

create_account is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_account? +

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

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

create_account 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.
