AI agents call midnight_get_transaction to retrieve information from Midnight Nextjs without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though midnight_get_transaction only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Query transaction details from the Midnight blockchain. Returns: - Transaction hash - Block height - Status (pending/confirmed/failed) - Contract address (if applicable) - Circuit name (if contract call) Use this tool to: - Check transaction status - Debug failed transactions - Inspect contract interactions. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Midnight Nextjs MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for midnight_get_transaction. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Midnight Nextjs MCP server.
midnight_get_transaction 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 midnight_get_transaction rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for midnight_get_transaction. 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.
midnight_get_transaction is provided by the Midnight Nextjs MCP server (midnight-nextjs-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
