Why encode_address needs a policy

This tool performs a pure cryptographic/encoding transformation — converting a public key to an Algorand address format. It has no side effects, does not read from or write to any external system, and does not execute any code or financial operations. It is a local computation utility. Notably, it references Algorand which is unrelated to the Sperax/Arbitrum/BNB Chain server description, slightly lowering confidence.

POLICY

How to control encode_address

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sperax Ecosystem Crypto & DeFI MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for encode_address:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "encode_address": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "encode_address_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

encode_address gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about encode_address

What does the encode_address tool do? +

Encode a public key to an Algorand address. It is categorised as a Other tool in the Sperax Ecosystem Crypto & DeFI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on encode_address? +

Register the Sperax Ecosystem Crypto & DeFI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for encode_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 Sperax Ecosystem Crypto & DeFI MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is encode_address? +

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

Can I rate-limit encode_address? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the encode_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.

How do I block encode_address completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for encode_address. 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.

What MCP server provides encode_address? +

encode_address is provided by the Sperax Ecosystem Crypto & DeFI MCP Server MCP server (sperax/sperax-crypto-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Sperax Ecosystem Crypto & DeFI MCP Server tool call.
