dex_get_stats

Get high-level statistics about the DexPaprika ecosystem: total networks, DEXes, pools, and tokens available.

How to control dex_get_stats ↓

AI agents call dex_get_stats 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 performs a read-only query operation that retrieves and presents existing statistical data with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or resource changes. It poses minimal risk as it only exposes public aggregate metrics from the DexPaprika ecosystem.

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states it 'Get[s] high-level statistics' about the DexPaprika ecosystem without any modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. It retrieves aggregated data about networks, DEXes, pools, and tokens.

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

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

dex_get_stats 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.

What does the dex_get_stats tool do? +

Get high-level statistics about the DexPaprika ecosystem: total networks, DEXes, pools, and tokens available. It is categorised as a Read tool in the BNB Chain MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on dex_get_stats? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit dex_get_stats? +

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

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

dex_get_stats 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.
