AI agents call safe_check_before_buy to retrieve information from AIGEN — Open Bounty Protocol for AI Agents without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though safe_check_before_buy only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the safe_check_before_buy tool do? +

ON-CHAIN safety preflight via SafeRouter.checkBeforeBuy(). Free, no gas, view-only. Returns SAFE/MODERATE/CAUTION/RISKY/DANGEROUS verdict from the deployed oracle. Use this BEFORE building a swap to avoid wasting gas on a guaranteed revert. Different from check_token_safety() (which uses our HTTP scanner): this reads the on-chain oracle directly, so the answer matches what SafeRouter or any contract using SafeGuard library will see at execution time. Args: token: Token contract address (0x...) chain: Currently only base supported (Optimism oracle deployed but no router). It is categorised as a Read tool in the AIGEN — Open Bounty Protocol for AI Agents MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on safe_check_before_buy? +

Register the AIGEN — Open Bounty Protocol for AI Agents MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for safe_check_before_buy: 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 AIGEN — Open Bounty Protocol for AI Agents. Nothing to install.

What risk level is safe_check_before_buy? +

safe_check_before_buy is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit safe_check_before_buy? +
