It has no side effects, does not execute transactions, does not modify state, and does not commit financial obligations. Despite the platform's DeFi trading capabilities, this specific tool is purely informational and belongs in the Read category with low severity.

POLICY

How to control getNetworkStatus

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Boosty MCP DeFi Platform, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getNetworkStatus:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getNetworkStatus": {}
  }
}

getNetworkStatus is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
