What psbt_sign does on Aibtc
AI agents invoke psbt_sign to trigger actions in Aibtc. 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.
Why psbt_sign is rated High
Signing a PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction) is an execution action that uses cryptographic wallet keys to authorize a Bitcoin transaction. While it doesn't directly move funds (that would be broadcasting/submitting), signing is a critical step that enables financial transactions. It triggers an external cryptographic operation with the active wallet.
From the tool's definition Sign one or more PSBT inputs with the active wallet. Supports buyer (P2WPKH) and taproot keys.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs psbt_sign safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Aibtc, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For psbt_sign, this is the rule to start with:
psbt_sign 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 Aibtc, apply this rule, and every psbt_sign call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about psbt_sign
Sign one or more PSBT inputs with the active wallet. Supports buyer (P2WPKH) and taproot keys. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Aibtc MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Aibtc MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for psbt_sign: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Aibtc. Nothing to install.
psbt_sign is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the psbt_sign rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for psbt_sign. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
psbt_sign is provided by the Aibtc MCP server (aibtcdev/aibtc-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
