dexNetworksList

Returns a list of all networks to unique CoinMarketCap ids.

How to control dexNetworksList ↓

AI agents call dexNetworksList to retrieve information from CoinMarketCap MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and queries existing data (a list of networks and their identifiers) without side effects. It does not modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions. It is a standard read operation returning reference data from the CoinMarketCap service.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Returns a list of all networks to unique CoinMarketCap ids' — a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of commands.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access dexNetworksList gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and CoinMarketCap MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for dexNetworksList:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "dexNetworksList": {}
  }
}

dexNetworksList 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 CoinMarketCap 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.
