WHAT IT DOES

What wallet_createSignature does on Bitcoin SV MCP Server

RISK

Why wallet_createSignature is rated High

This tool performs a cryptographic signing operation using private wallet keys. It does not move funds (Financial) or delete data (Destructive), but it executes a key operation that produces a cryptographic artifact (signature) with real-world implications — signatures can authorize transactions or actions on the blockchain.
