# get_transaction Get detailed information about a specific transaction by its hash. Includes sender, recipient, value, data, and more. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_transaction`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-transaction ## Facts - Tool: `get_transaction` - Server: EVM MCP Server (`chulanpro5/evm-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/chulanpro5/evm-mcp-server - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_transaction", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_transaction is rated Low This tool retrieves blockchain transaction details by hash—a purely informational operation with no side effects. It matches the 'Read' category definition: retrieves or queries data with no state modifications. Severity is low because accessing publicly available blockchain transaction data poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_transaction' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific transaction by its hash' indicate a query operation that retrieves transaction data without modifying state or triggering external actions." ## Use case AI agents call get_transaction to retrieve information from EVM MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches EVM MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_transaction": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on EVM MCP Server (35) - `deploy_token` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/deploy-token.md - `enable_trading` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/enable-trading.md - `set_swap_and_liquify_enabled` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/set-swap-and-liquify-enabled.md - `write_contract` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/write-contract.md - `add_liquidity` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/add-liquidity.md - `buy_usdt_from_wallet` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/buy-usdt-from-wallet.md - `deploy_tax_token` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/deploy-tax-token.md - `lock_lp_token` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/lock-lp-token.md - `sell_usdt_from_wallet` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/sell-usdt-from-wallet.md - `transfer_erc1155` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/transfer-erc1155.md - `transfer_erc20` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/transfer-erc20.md - `transfer_eth` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/transfer-eth.md - `transfer_nft` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/transfer-nft.md - `transfer_token` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/transfer-token.md - `check_nft_ownership` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/check-nft-ownership.md - `estimate_gas` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/estimate-gas.md - `get_address_from_private_key` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-address-from-private-key.md - `get_balance` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-balance.md - `get_block_by_number` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-block-by-number.md - `get_chain_info` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-chain-info.md - `get_erc1155_balance` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-erc1155-balance.md - `get_erc1155_token_uri` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-erc1155-token-uri.md - `get_erc20_balance` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-erc20-balance.md - `get_latest_block` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-latest-block.md - `get_nft_balance` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-nft-balance.md - `get_nft_info` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-nft-info.md - `get_supported_networks` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-supported-networks.md - `get_token_balance` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-token-balance.md - `get_token_balance_erc20` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-token-balance-erc20.md - `get_token_info` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server/get-token-info.md - …and 5 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/chulanpro5-evm-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
