What get-transaction does on THORChain MCP Server

AI agents call get-transaction to retrieve information from THORChain MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get-transaction needs a policy

This tool retrieves and returns existing blockchain transaction data based on a provided transaction hash. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify state, and does not involve financial transactions themselves—it only reads historical transaction information. Misuse by an AI agent would be limited to information disclosure or enumeration, both low-severity outcomes.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-transaction' and description 'Get detailed information about a THORChain transaction' indicate a query operation that retrieves transaction data by ID without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.
