Medium Risk

dev.send

DEV ONLY — Sign and broadcast an unsigned transaction using a local private key (PK env var). For production, use a dedicated wallet MCP server (Fireblocks, Safe, Turnkey, etc.) instead of this tool. Takes the transaction object returned by any write.* tool and submits it onchain.

Part of the Arcadia server.

dev.send can modify Arcadia data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use dev.send to create or modify resources in Arcadia. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call dev.send repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Arcadia.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access dev.send gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so dev.send only ever does what you allow.

What does the dev.send tool do? +

DEV ONLY — Sign and broadcast an unsigned transaction using a local private key (PK env var). For production, use a dedicated wallet MCP server (Fireblocks, Safe, Turnkey, etc.) instead of this tool. Takes the transaction object returned by any write.* tool and submits it onchain.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Arcadia MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on dev.send? +

Register the Arcadia MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for dev.send: 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 Arcadia. Nothing to install.

What risk level is dev.send? +

dev.send is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit dev.send? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the dev.send 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.

How do I block dev.send completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for dev.send. 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.

What MCP server provides dev.send? +

dev.send is provided by the Arcadia MCP server (arcadia-finance/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Arcadia tool call.
