Why getTransactionSummary needs a policy

This tool queries and returns transaction information without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval function. While it operates in a financial domain (cryptocurrency/Ethereum), it does not move money, commit financial obligations, or trigger transactions—it merely fetches existing transaction metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getTransactionSummary' and description 'Retrieve a summary of data related to a transaction' indicate a read-only operation. The verb 'Retrieve' and lack of any mutation language confirm no data is modified or deleted.

How to control getTransactionSummary

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 getTransactionSummary:

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

getTransactionSummary 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.
