Get a raw Bitcoin transaction with basic decoded information by its transaction ID. This provides the transaction structure and decoded script data.
AI agents call tx_raw_decode_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 decodes publicly available blockchain transaction data. It performs no modifications, deletions, executions, or financial operations. The decoded transaction information is read-only public blockchain data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve transaction details that are already public on the blockchain.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'tx_raw_decode_get' and description 'Get a raw Bitcoin transaction with basic decoded information' indicate a retrieval operation.

Get a raw Bitcoin transaction with basic decoded information by its transaction ID. This provides the transaction structure and decoded script data. 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 tx_raw_decode_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.
tx_raw_decode_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 tx_raw_decode_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 tx_raw_decode_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.
tx_raw_decode_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.
