Why transfer_ens needs a policy

This tool transfers ownership of an ENS (Ethereum Name Service) name to a new address. While this is a write/modification operation on the blockchain, it is effectively irreversible in practice (ownership is transferred away and cannot be reclaimed without the new owner's cooperation), making it high severity.

How to control transfer_ens

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 transfer_ens:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "transfer_ens": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "transfer_ens_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

transfer_ens stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
