Get current blockchain information including chain height, latest block details, and network status. Use this for obtaining overall Bitcoin network statistics.
AI agents call blockchain_info 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.
blockchain_info retrieves immutable, publicly available blockchain state data (chain height, block details, network status). It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, does not execute code or commands, and does not involve financial transactions. This is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk even if misused—an AI agent querying blockchain info cannot cause harm.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get current blockchain information' and 'obtaining overall Bitcoin network statistics' - purely read/query operations with no data modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current blockchain information including chain height, latest block details, and network status. Use this for obtaining overall Bitcoin network statistics. 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 blockchain_info: 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.
blockchain_info 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 blockchain_info 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 blockchain_info. 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.
blockchain_info 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.
blockchain_info is one line of Satstream MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
