What getTransactionRawTrace does on Agentek Eth
AI agents call getTransactionRawTrace 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 getTransactionRawTrace is rated Low
This tool retrieves transaction trace data from Ethereum without modifying state, executing code, deleting data, or moving funds. It is purely informational and presents no side effects. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an agent could retrieve trace data for any transaction but cannot cause harm through retrieval alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getTransactionRawTrace' and description 'Retrieve raw trace information for a specific transaction' indicate a query/retrieval operation.

The rule that runs getTransactionRawTrace safely

getTransactionRawTrace 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 getTransactionRawTrace call is checked against it from then on.
