Medium Risk

broadcast_transaction

Broadcast a pre-signed TRON transaction with auto energy delegation. Send your signed transaction data and PowerSun will delegate energy before broadcasting. Works with API key (balance deduction) or x402 USDC payment. Without authentication, returns cost estimate.

Part of the PowerSun MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

powersun/tron-energy-mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use broadcast_transaction to create or modify resources in PowerSun. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call broadcast_transaction repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach PowerSun.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the broadcast_transaction tool do? +

Broadcast a pre-signed TRON transaction with auto energy delegation. Send your signed transaction data and PowerSun will delegate energy before broadcasting. Works with API key (balance deduction) or x402 USDC payment. Without authentication, returns cost estimate.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the PowerSun MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on broadcast_transaction? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for broadcast_transaction. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the PowerSun MCP server.

What risk level is broadcast_transaction? +

broadcast_transaction is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit broadcast_transaction? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the broadcast_transaction rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block broadcast_transaction completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for broadcast_transaction. 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.

What MCP server provides broadcast_transaction? +

broadcast_transaction is provided by the PowerSun MCP server (powersun/tron-energy-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
