What tx_info does on Maestro MCP Server

AI agents call tx_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.

Why tx_info needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves blockchain transaction data without side effects. It provides read-only visibility into transaction details, similar to a blockchain explorer. While Bitcoin transactions are immutable financial records, reading them carries no risk of unauthorized fund movement or state modification. The tool is informational only.

From the tool's definition Tool returns transaction information by hash, including inputs, outputs, fees, and confirmation details. The description uses retrieval language: 'Returns a full breakdown', 'useful for explorers'. No modifications, deletions, or state changes are performed.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access tx_info gives an agent:

How to control tx_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 tx_info:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "tx_info": {}
  }
}

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

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