Read-only compact chain transaction statistics from the Explorer transaction index, with optional block or block-timestamp window filters.
AI agents call get_transaction_stats to retrieve information from XGR MCP Gateway without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool purely queries and retrieves pre-computed transaction statistics from a blockchain explorer index. It has no side effects, cannot modify state, execute code, or trigger on-chain actions. The read-only designation and statistical query nature confirm it is a safe Read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_', description explicitly states 'Read-only', and retrieves 'chain transaction statistics' from an index with optional filtering parameters. No modification, execution, deletion, or financial impact capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read-only compact chain transaction statistics from the Explorer transaction index, with optional block or block-timestamp window filters. It is categorised as a Read tool in the XGR MCP Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the XGR MCP Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_transaction_stats: 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 XGR MCP Gateway. Nothing to install.
get_transaction_stats 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_stats 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_stats. 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_stats is provided by the XGR MCP Gateway MCP server (xgr-network/xgr-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
