Get the full decoded (verbose) representation of a specific Bitcoin block by its hash or height. This provides extensive details about the block structure and contained transactions.
AI agents call block_raw_decoded_get to retrieve information from Satstream MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries blockchain data (block structure and transaction details) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is analogous to other sibling read tools like 'block_get' and 'address_balance_get'. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since no state changes occur.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get the full decoded (verbose) representation of a specific Bitcoin block' — purely a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the full decoded (verbose) representation of a specific Bitcoin block by its hash or height. This provides extensive details about the block structure and contained transactions. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Satstream MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Satstream MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for block_raw_decoded_get: 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 Satstream MCP Server. Nothing to install.
block_raw_decoded_get 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 block_raw_decoded_get 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 block_raw_decoded_get. 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.
block_raw_decoded_get is provided by the Satstream MCP Server MCP server (satstream/ss-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
