What get_balance does on Agent Wallet MCP

AI agents call get_balance to retrieve information from Agent Wallet MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_balance needs a policy

This tool only reads and returns balance information from the wallet on Solana's devnet test network. It has no side effects, does not transfer funds, and does not execute transactions. While the server overall handles financial operations, this specific tool is a read-only query. The use of devnet (test network) rather than mainnet further reduces real-world financial risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_balance' and description 'Check the USDC and SOL balance of the agent wallet. Returns balances on Solana devnet.' indicate a query operation that retrieves wallet balances without modifying or moving funds.
