Get fungible token balance for a specific address
AI agents call get_ft_balance to retrieve information from Stacks AI MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs data retrieval only - querying the balance of a fungible token at a given address. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. While it operates in a DeFi context (which involves financial assets), reading a balance is fundamentally a read operation, not a financial transaction.
From the tool's definition get_ft_balance retrieves fungible token balance for a specific address, which is a read-only query operation with no side effects or modifications to data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get fungible token balance for a specific address. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Stacks AI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Stacks AI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_ft_balance: 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 Stacks AI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_ft_balance is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_ft_balance 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_ft_balance. 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.
get_ft_balance is provided by the Stacks AI MCP Server MCP server (stack-ai-mcp/stacks-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
