Low Risk

get_new_tokens

Get recently deployed tokens with safety scores. Find new opportunities and avoid scams. Args: chain: base, ethereum, arbitrum, optimism limit: Number of tokens (max 20)

Part of the SafeAgent Token Safety — 38 MCP Tools for DeFi Security MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call get_new_tokens to retrieve information from SafeAgent Token Safety — 38 MCP Tools for DeFi Security 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 get_new_tokens 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.

It is categorised as a Read tool in the SafeAgent Token Safety — 38 MCP Tools for DeFi Security MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_new_tokens? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_new_tokens. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the SafeAgent Token Safety — 38 MCP Tools for DeFi Security MCP server.

What risk level is get_new_tokens? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_new_tokens? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_new_tokens rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block get_new_tokens completely? +
