Get current RustChain epoch information. Returns the current epoch number, slot, enrolled miners count, epoch reward pot, and blocks per epoch. Epochs are 600-second intervals where miners earn RTC rewards.
AI agents call rustchain_epoch to retrieve information from RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query of blockchain epoch metadata without side effects. It returns informational data about the RustChain network state (epoch number, slot count, miner enrollment, reward pool amounts). No transactions are created, no funds are moved, and no irreversible changes occur.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves current epoch information: epoch number, slot, enrolled miners count, epoch reward pot, and blocks per epoch. No modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access rustchain_epoch gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for rustchain_epoch:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"rustchain_epoch": {}
}
}rustchain_epoch is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get current RustChain epoch information. Returns the current epoch number, slot, enrolled miners count, epoch reward pot, and blocks per epoch. Epochs are 600-second intervals where miners earn RTC rewards. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rustchain_epoch: 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 RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server. Nothing to install.
rustchain_epoch 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 rustchain_epoch 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 rustchain_epoch. 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.
rustchain_epoch is provided by the RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server MCP server (scottcjn/rustchain-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
