Why getTransactionLogs needs a policy

This tool queries blockchain transaction data without side effects. It does not execute code, modify state, delete data, or move funds. The classification as Read is appropriate for a retrieval operation. Severity is low because misuse would only expose historical blockchain data already public on the ledger, with no destructive or financial impact.

From the tool's definition The tool 'getTransactionLogs' retrieves logs generated from a specific transaction. The verb 'retrieve' and the absence of any modification language (create, update, delete, execute) indicate a read-only operation.

How to control getTransactionLogs

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Agentek Eth, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getTransactionLogs:

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

getTransactionLogs 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 Agentek Eth — 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.
