Get the receipt of a mined transaction including status, gas used, and logs.
AI agents call getTransactionReceipt 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 queries blockchain state to retrieve read-only transaction metadata. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, and does not execute code or move funds. It is a classic Read operation. The low severity reflects minimal risk: an agent could at worst retrieve public blockchain information, which is already publicly available.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] the receipt of a mined transaction including status, gas used, and logs' — purely retrieves data about an already-executed transaction without modifying or executing anything.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getTransactionReceipt 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 getTransactionReceipt:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getTransactionReceipt": {}
}
}getTransactionReceipt is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the receipt of a mined transaction including status, gas used, and logs. 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 getTransactionReceipt: 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.
getTransactionReceipt 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 getTransactionReceipt 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 getTransactionReceipt. 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.
getTransactionReceipt 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.
