What get_contract does on Stacks AI MCP Server
AI agents call get_contract 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.
Why get_contract is rated Low
This tool retrieves publicly available smart contract information (source code and ABI) from the blockchain. It performs no state changes, creates no transactions, moves no funds, and executes no code. It is purely an informational query operation with minimal security impact. The information retrieved is already publicly available on-chain.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_contract' and description 'Get detailed information about a smart contract including source code and ABI' indicate retrieval of contract metadata and code without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_contract safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Stacks AI MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_contract, this is the rule to start with:
get_contract is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Stacks AI MCP Server, apply this rule, and every get_contract call is checked against it from then on.
