Get block details from Thor network
AI agents call thorGetBlock to retrieve information from VeChain MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though thorGetBlock 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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get block details from Thor network. It is categorised as a Read tool in the VeChain MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the VeChain MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for thorGetBlock: 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 VeChain MCP Server. Nothing to install.
thorGetBlock 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 thorGetBlock 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 thorGetBlock. 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.
thorGetBlock is provided by the VeChain MCP Server MCP server (vechain/vechain-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
