Get the current price for a specific asset from its Chainlink oracle. Includes detailed round data and freshness info.
AI agents call oracle_get_price 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 pricing data from an oracle without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that returns existing data. Low severity because oracle price queries do not enable direct asset transfers, destructive actions, or code execution; the impact of misuse is informational rather than operational or financial.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get the current price for a specific asset from its Chainlink oracle' — a retrieval operation with 'Includes detailed round data and freshness info', indicating query-only functionality with no modifications or side effects.

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 oracle_get_price:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"oracle_get_price": {}
}
}oracle_get_price is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the BNB Chain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for oracle_get_price: 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.
oracle_get_price 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 oracle_get_price 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 oracle_get_price. 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.
oracle_get_price 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.
