AI agents call cast_receipt to retrieve information from Foundry MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves blockchain transaction receipt information, which is a read-only query operation. Obtaining a transaction receipt does not alter state, execute code, or commit financial actions—it simply queries immutable on-chain data. The low severity reflects minimal risk: an AI agent cannot misuse this tool to cause meaningful harm, as it only accesses existing public blockchain information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'cast_receipt' and description 'Get the transaction receipt' indicate retrieval of existing transaction data with no modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access cast_receipt gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Foundry MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for cast_receipt:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"cast_receipt": {}
}
}cast_receipt is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the transaction receipt. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Foundry MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Foundry MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cast_receipt: 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 Foundry MCP Server. Nothing to install.
cast_receipt 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 cast_receipt 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 cast_receipt. 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.
cast_receipt is provided by the Foundry MCP Server MCP server (praneshasp/foundry-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
