What wallet_lock does on Aibtc
AI agents invoke wallet_lock 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 wallet_lock is rated High
Locking a wallet/agent is an operational action that changes system state (prevents further transactions or access). It is not a simple read, and while potentially reversible (unlock), it triggers an external operation affecting agent/wallet functionality. Given the financial context (sibling tools include swap, order creation), locking could disrupt ongoing financial operations.
From the tool's definition 'Lock the agent' — the tool name 'wallet_lock' combined with the description suggests locking a wallet or agent session, triggering an external state change
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs wallet_lock 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 wallet_lock, this is the rule to start with:
wallet_lock 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 wallet_lock call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about wallet_lock
Lock the agent. 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 wallet_lock: 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.
wallet_lock 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 wallet_lock 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 wallet_lock. 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.
wallet_lock 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.
