What transfer_nft does on SEI MCP Server V2
AI agents use transfer_nft to create or update resources in SEI MCP Server V2, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SEI MCP Server V2 environment.
Why transfer_nft is rated Medium
This tool moves an NFT between addresses, which is a write operation that modifies on-chain ownership state. While it is reversible in theory (the recipient could transfer it back), unauthorized transfers could result in permanent loss of a valuable digital asset if the recipient is malicious or incorrect. The high severity reflects the potential for significant financial/asset loss if misused by an AI agent.

The rule that runs transfer_nft safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and SEI MCP Server V2, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For transfer_nft, this is the rule to start with:
transfer_nft stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect SEI MCP Server V2, apply this rule, and every transfer_nft call is checked against it from then on.
