Get the list of unspent transaction outputs associated with the address/scripthash. Available fields: txid, vout, value, and status (with the status of the funding tx).
AI agents call esplora_address_utxos 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.
This tool performs a read-only query of blockchain data. It retrieves information about UTXOs without modifying state, executing code, or affecting assets. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an attacker gains visibility into transaction history or wallet composition, which is already public on the blockchain. No financial transactions, state changes, or irreversible actions are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves a list of unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) associated with an address. Description explicitly states 'Get the list' and 'Available fields: txid, vout, value, and status'. No modification, deletion, or execution of commands.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access esplora_address_utxos gives an agent:
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 esplora_address_utxos:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"esplora_address_utxos": {}
}
} esplora_address_utxos is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the list of unspent transaction outputs associated with the address/scripthash. Available fields: txid, vout, value, and status (with the status of the funding tx). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Maestro MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Maestro MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for esplora_address_utxos: 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.
esplora_address_utxos is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the esplora_address_utxos 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 esplora_address_utxos. 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.
esplora_address_utxos 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.
Start from Maestro MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
