WHAT IT DOES

What block_info does on Maestro MCP Server

AI agents call block_info to retrieve information from Maestro MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why block_info needs a policy

block_info retrieves publicly available blockchain data (block hash, height, timestamp, transaction count, miner, size) without any side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. The tool falls squarely into the Read category as it queries and returns immutable historical blockchain information.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Fetches full details of a block' and is used to 'explore block metadata or confirm inclusion of transactions.' The verb 'fetches' and the purpose of exploration indicate data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution…

POLICY

How to control block_info

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Maestro MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for block_info:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "block_info": {}
  }
}

block_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Maestro MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about block_info

What does the block_info tool do? +

Fetches full details of a block using its hash. Returns information such as height, timestamp, transaction count, miner, and size. Can be used to explore block metadata or confirm inclusion of transactions. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Maestro MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on block_info? +

Register the Maestro MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for block_info: 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 Maestro MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is block_info? +

block_info is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit block_info? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the block_info 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.

How do I block block_info completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for block_info. 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.

What MCP server provides block_info? +

block_info is provided by the Maestro MCP Server MCP server (maestro-org/maestro-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
