What getBtcBlockTxids does on Agentek Eth
AI agents call getBtcBlockTxids to retrieve information from Agentek Eth without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why getBtcBlockTxids is rated Low
This tool performs a read-only query of publicly available blockchain transaction data. It retrieves information (transaction IDs) based on a block hash parameter, with no side effects, state changes, or ability to execute operations. The severity is low because even if called maliciously, it only exposes immutable historical blockchain data already publicly visible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getBtcBlockTxids' and description 'Returns a list of transaction IDs in a block' indicate a query operation that retrieves blockchain data without modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getBtcBlockTxids safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Agentek Eth, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getBtcBlockTxids, this is the rule to start with:
getBtcBlockTxids is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Agentek Eth, apply this rule, and every getBtcBlockTxids call is checked against it from then on.
