Use this for live XGRChain status. Returns chain id, latest block number and gas price from JSON-RPC.
AI agents call get_chain_status to retrieve information from XGR MCP Gateway without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries blockchain metadata (chain ID, block height, gas price) via JSON-RPC. It retrieves read-only state information with no ability to modify, execute, or commit actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent can only consume gas querying the chain or receive outdated information, with no impact on funds, data integrity, or on-chain state.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_chain_status' and description states it 'Returns chain id, latest block number and gas price from JSON-RPC' — purely informational retrieval with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Use this for live XGRChain status. Returns chain id, latest block number and gas price from JSON-RPC. It is categorised as a Read tool in the XGR MCP Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the XGR MCP Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_chain_status: 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 XGR MCP Gateway. Nothing to install.
get_chain_status 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_chain_status 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_chain_status. 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_chain_status is provided by the XGR MCP Gateway MCP server (xgr-network/xgr-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
