Get topic hashes for common events

How to control get_event_topics ↓

AI agents call get_event_topics 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 retrieves event topic hashes, which are static reference data used to filter and decode blockchain events. It has no side effects, makes no modifications, executes no external operations, and poses minimal risk. It is purely informational, matching the 'Read' category definition.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_event_topics' and description 'Get topic hashes for common events' indicate a retrieval/query operation that returns pre-computed topic hashes for blockchain events.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_event_topics 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_event_topics:

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

get_event_topics 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 get_event_topics tool do? +

Get topic hashes for common events. 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 get_event_topics? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit get_event_topics? +

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

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

get_event_topics 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.
