sendTonTransaction

THE RISK

Critical Risk

This tool transfers TON cryptocurrency from the user's wallet to another address, constituting a direct financial transaction on the blockchain. Blockchain transactions are irreversible, making this both Financial and effectively Destructive in nature. The use of a mnemonic (private key seed) from environment variables to sign and broadcast transactions means an AI agent could drain the wallet.

HOW TO CONTROL SENDTONTRANSACTION

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 sendTonTransaction:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "sendTonTransaction": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to sendTonTransaction is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
