Get a summary of a specific Bitcoin block by its hash or height. This provides a condensed view of block data without full transaction details.
AI agents call block_raw_summary_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 summaries) without any side effects. It performs a simple lookup operation by hash or height, returning condensed information. There is no code execution, data modification, deletion, or financial transaction involved. This is a straightforward Read category tool with low severity, as misuse would only expose publicly available blockchain data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'block_raw_summary_get' and description state it 'Get[s] a summary of a specific Bitcoin block' — a pure retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, execution, or financial effects.

Get a summary of a specific Bitcoin block by its hash or height. This provides a condensed view of block data without full transaction details. 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_summary_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_summary_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_summary_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_summary_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_summary_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.
