Get delegation information for an address including who they delegate to and who delegates to them.
AI agents call governance_get_delegates 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 merely queries governance delegation state on the BNB Chain—it retrieves information about delegation relationships (who an address delegates to and who delegates to them) without executing transactions, modifying state, or triggering external operations. The read-only nature, lack of side effects, and query-based operation place it squarely in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition The tool 'Get delegation information for an address' retrieves query-only data about delegation relationships. The verbs 'get' and 'including' indicate data retrieval with no modification, creation, or execution of transactions.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access governance_get_delegates 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 governance_get_delegates:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"governance_get_delegates": {}
}
}governance_get_delegates is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get delegation information for an address including who they delegate to and who delegates to them. 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 governance_get_delegates: 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.
governance_get_delegates 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 governance_get_delegates 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 governance_get_delegates. 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.
governance_get_delegates 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.
