Get your Solana public address from private key in .env
AI agents call getMyAddress to retrieve information from Web3 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information (a public address) without modifying, executing external operations, deleting data, or moving funds. Although it accesses a private key from the environment, the action itself is purely computational and deterministic. The severity is low because exposure would only allow reading the user's public address, which is by design public information on blockchain systems.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get your Solana public address' - a retrieval operation with no side effects. The operation derives a public address from a private key, which is a read-only cryptographic operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getMyAddress gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Web3 MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getMyAddress:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getMyAddress": {}
}
}getMyAddress is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get your Solana public address from private key in .env. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Web3 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Web3 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getMyAddress: 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 Web3 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
getMyAddress 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 getMyAddress 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 getMyAddress. 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.
getMyAddress is provided by the Web3 MCP Server MCP server (strangelove-ventures/web3-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
