AI agents call get_transaction_by_id to retrieve information from Tron without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
value | string | Yes | Transaction hash (txID) |
network | string | — | Network name. Defaults to mainnet. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool queries and retrieves transaction information without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a passive lookup operation on blockchain data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only gather information about existing transactions, not alter them or trigger new operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_transaction_by_id' and description 'Query transaction status and content by transaction hash' indicate read-only data retrieval.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Query transaction status and content by transaction hash. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tron MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_transaction_by_id accepts 2 parameters: value, network. Required: value. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Tron MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_transaction_by_id: 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 Tron. Nothing to install.
get_transaction_by_id 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_by_id 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_by_id. 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_by_id is provided by the Tron MCP server (@bankofai/mcp-server-tron). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
