Get the current slot number
AI agents call get_slot 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 only queries and retrieves the current slot number from the Solana blockchain. It performs no modifications, executions, financial operations, or destructive actions. It is a straightforward read-only operation similar to other informational tools on the server (get_balance, get_block_height, get_epoch_info).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_slot' and description 'Get the current slot number' indicate a simple data retrieval operation with no side effects. Returns current blockchain state information.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the current slot number. 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_slot: 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_slot 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_slot 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_slot. 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_slot 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.
