## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {

## Why get_account_balance is rated Low

This tool performs data retrieval only, fetching existing balance information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has minimal security impact as it simply returns account state information. Even if misused by an agent, it cannot cause financial loss, execute code, or alter blockchain state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate retrieval of account balance data: 'Get STX and token balances for an account'. This is a read-only query operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_account_balance to retrieve information from Stacks AI MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Stacks AI MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_account_balance": {}
  }
}
