Return info about one or more assets.
AI agents call get_assets to retrieve information from Mcp Kraken without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool fetches asset information from the Kraken API, which is a read-only operation. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The blast radius is minimal as it only exposes publicly available or user-accessible asset metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_assets' and description 'Return info about one or more assets' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.

Register the Mcp Kraken MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_assets: 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 Mcp Kraken. Nothing to install.
get_assets 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_assets 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_assets. 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_assets is provided by the Mcp Kraken MCP server (xavierbeheydt/mcp-kraken). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
