Retrieve raw trace information for a specific transaction.
AI agents call getTransactionRawTrace to retrieve information from Agentek Eth without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
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.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getTransactionRawTrace gives an agent:
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 getTransactionRawTrace:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getTransactionRawTrace": {}
}
}getTransactionRawTrace is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Retrieve raw trace information for a specific transaction. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agentek Eth MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Agentek Eth MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getTransactionRawTrace: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Agentek Eth. Nothing to install.
getTransactionRawTrace 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 getTransactionRawTrace rule in your PolicyLayer 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 PolicyLayer policy for getTransactionRawTrace. 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.
getTransactionRawTrace is provided by the Agentek Eth MCP server (nanidao/agentek). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Agentek Eth, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
