Get list of governance proposals with their status, votes, and outcomes.

How to control governance_get_proposals ↓

AI agents call governance_get_proposals 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 and queries governance proposal data without any side effects, data modification, code execution, or financial operations. It is a straightforward read operation that falls clearly into the Read category with low severity since misuse would only expose information already on the blockchain.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] list of governance proposals with their status, votes, and outcomes' - purely a retrieval operation with no modification or execution capabilities.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access governance_get_proposals 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_proposals:

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

governance_get_proposals 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.
