What get-token-metadata does on Xrpl mcp

Why get-token-metadata needs a policy

This tool only reads and returns immutable metadata about tokens on the XRP Ledger. It does not create, modify, delete, or transfer any data or assets. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent obtaining token metadata poses negligible security risk.

From the tool's definition The tool description states it retrieves token metadata (name, symbol, decimals, supply). These are passive query operations with no side effects or state modifications. The function name 'get-' prefix also indicates a retrieval operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get-token-metadata gives an agent:

How to control get-token-metadata

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Xrpl mcp, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get-token-metadata:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get-token-metadata": {}
  }
}

get-token-metadata is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Xrpl mcp — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
