Get list of all available validators for staking. Returns validator IDs and names to help users choose which validator to stake to.
AI agents call get_staking_validators to retrieve information from Sonic Blockchain MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and returns information about validators without modifying any state, executing code, or performing any actions on the blockchain. It is a simple query that helps users review options before making staking decisions. This is a read-only operation with no blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it "Get list of all available validators for staking. Returns validator IDs and names" - this is a pure data retrieval operation with no side effects.

Get list of all available validators for staking. Returns validator IDs and names to help users choose which validator to stake to. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sonic Blockchain MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sonic Blockchain MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_staking_validators: 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 Sonic Blockchain MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_staking_validators 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_staking_validators 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_staking_validators. 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_staking_validators is provided by the Sonic Blockchain MCP Server MCP server (tairon-ai/sonic-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
