sign_message_ltc
Sign a UTF-8 message with a paired Litecoin address using the BIP-137 compact-signature scheme (with Litecoin's \x19Litecoin Signed Message:\n prefix). Returns the signature plus messageSha256 — lowercase hex SHA-256 of the exact UTF-8 bytes submitted to the device (Inv #8 byte-fingerprint, issue...

What sign_message_ltc does on VaultPilot MCP
AI agents invoke sign_message_ltc to trigger actions in VaultPilot 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
wallet | string | Yes | Paired Litecoin source address. Must already be in `pairings.litecoin`. Taproot (`ltc1p...`) is refused — BIP-322 is not yet exposed by the Ledger Litecoin app. |
message | string | Yes | UTF-8 message to sign. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why sign_message_ltc is rated High
This tool triggers a cryptographic signing operation on a hardware device (Ledger). It does not directly transfer funds or modify on-chain state, but it executes an external operation (device interaction, producing a cryptographic signature) whose effects depend on the message content.
From the tool's definition Sign a UTF-8 message with a paired Litecoin address using the BIP-137 compact-signature scheme... Returns the signature plus messageSha256... Same on-device clear-sign UX as sign_message_btc
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs sign_message_ltc safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and VaultPilot MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For sign_message_ltc, this is the rule to start with:
sign_message_ltc 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 VaultPilot MCP, apply this rule, and every sign_message_ltc call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about sign_message_ltc
Sign a UTF-8 message with a paired Litecoin address using the BIP-137 compact-signature scheme (with Litecoin's \x19Litecoin Signed Message:\n prefix). Returns the signature plus messageSha256 — lowercase hex SHA-256 of the exact UTF-8 bytes submitted to the device (Inv #8 byte-fingerprint, issue #454); surface in the verbatim block so the user can recompute on a separate device. Same on-device clear-sign UX as sign_message_btc. DRAINER-STRING REFUSAL (issue #454): refuses messages containing value-transfer / authorization markers or explicit drainer templates BEFORE any device interaction — same allowlist as sign_message_btc. Taproot (ltc1p…) is refused — BIP-322 isn't exposed by the Ledger Litecoin app. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the VaultPilot MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
sign_message_ltc accepts 2 parameters: wallet, message. Required: wallet, message. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the VaultPilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sign_message_ltc: 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 VaultPilot MCP. Nothing to install.
sign_message_ltc 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 sign_message_ltc 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 sign_message_ltc. 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.
sign_message_ltc is provided by the VaultPilot MCP server (vaultpilot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
