Get detailed information about a specific token.
AI agents call get_token_by_address to retrieve information from Aerodrome Swap 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 token information by address—a read-only operation with no side effects. It does not execute swaps, modify balances, or commit financial transactions. While the server integrates with a swap API (a financial system), this specific tool is purely informational. Severity is low because misuse would only expose public token metadata, not cause financial loss or irreversible damage.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_token_by_address' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific token' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modifying state or executing transactions.

Register the Aerodrome Swap MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_token_by_address: 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 Aerodrome Swap MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_token_by_address 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 get_token_by_address 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.
