Why wallet_setupDroplet needs a policy

The tool creates and registers new resources (public keys, faucets) on the BSV blockchain. Creating a faucet is a write operation that establishes a new on-chain entity. Although these actions are theoretically reversible (unlike destructive operations), they commit resources and create obligations.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly lists actions: 'register_key', 'create_faucet', 'check_status'. The 'register_key' and 'create_faucet' actions create or register new entities/resources on the blockchain, which are reversible modifications.

How to control wallet_setupDroplet

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Bitcoin SV MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for wallet_setupDroplet:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "wallet_setupDroplet": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "wallet_setupdroplet_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

wallet_setupDroplet stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
