Get current epoch information including slot, epoch progress, and timing
AI agents call get_epoch_info to retrieve information from Solana 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 read-only blockchain state information (epoch details, slot numbers, timing data) from the Solana chain. It performs no writes, deletions, executions, or financial operations. The low severity reflects that misuse cannot cause harm—querying epoch data is informational only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_epoch_info' and description 'Get current epoch information including slot, epoch progress, and timing' indicate a data retrieval operation with no state modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current epoch information including slot, epoch progress, and timing. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Solana MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Solana MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_epoch_info: 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 Solana MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_epoch_info 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_epoch_info 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_epoch_info. 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_epoch_info is provided by the Solana MCP Server MCP server (visioneth/solana-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
