Why rune_activity_by_address needs a policy

This tool retrieves historical transaction data from the Bitcoin blockchain filtered by address and optional rune kind. It has no side effects—it does not modify state, execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move funds. The operation is read-only and informational. Severity is low because misuse would only expose publicly available blockchain data that is already readable on-chain.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Return all transactions where the specified address has rune activity' - this is a query/retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of code. The verb 'Return' indicates data retrieval only.

POLICY

How to control rune_activity_by_address

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 rune_activity_by_address:

policy.json

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

rune_activity_by_address 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.
