AI agents call get_chain_info 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.
This tool retrieves chain information (likely network parameters, block height, gas prices, or similar metadata) for a specified blockchain network. It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. The action is purely informational and has no impact on system state or user assets.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_chain_info' and description 'Get chain information for a specific network' indicate retrieval of read-only network metadata without side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_chain_info 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 get_chain_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_chain_info": {}
}
}get_chain_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get chain information for a specific network. It is categorised as a Read tool in the BNB Chain MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the BNB Chain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_chain_info: 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.
get_chain_info is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_chain_info 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_chain_info. 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.
get_chain_info 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.
