What get_blocks does on Model Context Protocol Server for Solana Client

AI agents call get_blocks to retrieve information from Model Context Protocol Server for Solana Client without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_blocks needs a policy

Even though get_blocks only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
