Get the raw hexadecimal representation of a Bitcoin transaction by its transaction ID. This provides the complete serialized transaction data in hexadecimal format.
AI agents call tx_raw_hex_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 returns existing blockchain transaction data in hexadecimal format. It has no ability to modify, delete, execute, or transfer assets. The data returned is public Bitcoin blockchain information. Misuse would be limited to information disclosure or resource exhaustion (DoS), neither of which constitutes high risk in the context of an AI agent querying a blockchain API.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'tx_raw_hex_get' and description 'Get the raw hexadecimal representation of a Bitcoin transaction by its transaction ID' indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the raw hexadecimal representation of a Bitcoin transaction by its transaction ID. This provides the complete serialized transaction data in hexadecimal format. 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_hex_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_hex_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_hex_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_hex_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_hex_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.
tx_raw_hex_get 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.
