WHAT IT DOES

What send_raw_transaction does on Algorand MCP

AI agents invoke send_raw_transaction to trigger actions in Algorand MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why send_raw_transaction is rated High

This tool submits pre-signed transactions to the blockchain network. While the transactions are already signed (so auth is handled), executing them triggers irreversible on-chain state changes (transfers, contract calls, etc.).

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs send_raw_transaction safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Algorand MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For send_raw_transaction, this is the rule to start with:

send_raw_transaction Rate-limited

send_raw_transaction stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Algorand MCP, apply this rule, and every send_raw_transaction call is checked against it from then on.
