Diagnoses what is NOT yet set up to accept payments, per blockchain: missing deposit wallet,
AI agents call check_payment_readiness to retrieve information from PayRam MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a diagnostic query to assess payment readiness status across blockchains, identifying missing configurations (e.g., missing deposit wallet). It retrieves and reports state information without triggering transactions, modifying data, executing code, or deleting anything.
From the tool's definition Tool description indicates it 'Diagnoses what is NOT yet set up' - a diagnostic/status check operation. No modification, deletion, or execution of commands implied.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PayRam MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for check_payment_readiness:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"check_payment_readiness": {}
}
}check_payment_readiness is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the PayRam MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for check_payment_readiness: 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 PayRam MCP Server. Nothing to install.
check_payment_readiness 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 check_payment_readiness 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 check_payment_readiness. 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.
check_payment_readiness is provided by the PayRam MCP Server MCP server (payram/payram-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
