Get detailed information about a specific transaction by its hash.
AI agents call get_transaction to retrieve information from SEI MCP Server V2 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries blockchain transaction data without side effects. It retrieves historical information already on-chain and does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. Read-only blockchain queries pose minimal risk—misuse might reveal transaction details but cannot alter state or cause financial harm directly.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate retrieval of transaction details ('Get detailed information about a specific transaction by its hash'). The verb 'get' and lack of any modification, execution, or state-change language confirms read-only behavior.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about a specific transaction by its hash. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SEI MCP Server V2 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SEI MCP Server V2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_transaction: 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 SEI MCP Server V2. Nothing to install.
get_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_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_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_transaction is provided by the SEI MCP Server V2 MCP server (testinguser1111111/sei-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
