What getTransactionReceipt does on Agentek Eth
AI agents call getTransactionReceipt 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 getTransactionReceipt is rated Low
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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getTransactionReceipt 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 getTransactionReceipt, this is the rule to start with:
getTransactionReceipt 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 getTransactionReceipt call is checked against it from then on.
