Get detailed information about an asset
AI agents call getAssetInfo 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 retrieves asset metadata from the Algorand blockchain without side effects. It is a read-only query operation similar to getAccountInfo and getAccountAssets (sibling tools). The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve information already publicly available on the blockchain. No funds or data can be modified or destroyed.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getAssetInfo' and description 'Get detailed information about an asset' indicate a query/retrieval operation. No modification, execution, deletion, or financial transaction is performed.

Get detailed information about an asset. 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 getAssetInfo: 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.
getAssetInfo 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 getAssetInfo 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 getAssetInfo. 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.
getAssetInfo 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.
