Why utxos_by_address needs a policy

This tool only retrieves and queries UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) data from the Bitcoin blockchain. It performs no mutations, deletions, financial transfers, or code execution. Misuse would only expose publicly available blockchain information already accessible to anyone querying the Bitcoin network, resulting in minimal blast radius beyond information disclosure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'utxos_by_address' and description 'Retrieves all UTXOs associated with a Bitcoin address' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

How to control utxos_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 utxos_by_address:

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

utxos_by_address 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.
