Get detailed information about an Algorand account. If no address provided, uses configured account from environment
AI agents call getAccountInfo to retrieve information from Algorand MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns account data without side effects. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The only parameter is an optional address selection, which is a passive lookup. Even in the context of a blockchain interaction server, this is a data retrieval operation with no impact on state or financial obligations.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'getAccountInfo' and description states it retrieves 'detailed information about an Algorand account' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution of operations. The verb 'Get' and 'retrieves' indicate a read-only query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about an Algorand account. If no address provided, uses configured account from environment. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Algorand MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Algorand MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getAccountInfo: 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 Algorand MCP Server. Nothing to install.
getAccountInfo 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 getAccountInfo 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 getAccountInfo. 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.
getAccountInfo is provided by the Algorand MCP Server MCP server (tairon-ai/algorand-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
