## Why get_inscriptions_by_address is rated Low

This tool retrieves public blockchain data about inscriptions associated with a Bitcoin address. It is a read-only query operation that does not modify, execute, delete, or create any data. The only input is a Bitcoin address, and the output is informational. There is minimal risk of misuse even if invoked by an AI agent without proper authorization, as it only accesses publicly visible blockchain information.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_inscriptions_by_address' and description 'Get all inscriptions owned by a Bitcoin address' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_inscriptions_by_address to retrieve information from Aibtc 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 Aibtc:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_inscriptions_by_address": {}
  }
}
```
