Why validate_payment_network needs a policy

This tool only checks/validates whether a payment network is supported and retrieves token information. It is a read/query operation with no side effects — it does not initiate payments, move funds, or modify state. Despite being on a DeFi platform with high-risk sibling tools, this specific tool performs only informational lookup.

From the tool's definition Validate if a payment network is supported and get its USDC token information

POLICY

How to control validate_payment_network

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 validate_payment_network:

policy.json

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

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