Get raw transaction data in hex format
AI agents call get_raw_transaction to retrieve information from Stacks AI 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 raw transaction data in hexadecimal format from the blockchain. It performs a read-only query operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. There is no financial impact or irreversible action. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent could retrieve unnecessary transaction data but cannot harm the system or user assets.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_raw_transaction' and description states it 'Get raw transaction data in hex format' — this is a retrieval operation that queries existing blockchain data with no side effects.

get_raw_transaction 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 get_raw_transaction 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 get_raw_transaction. 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.
get_raw_transaction is provided by the Stacks AI MCP Server MCP server (stack-ai-mcp/stacks-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
