THE RISK

Low Risk

Why account__txsBeaconWithdrawal needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves blockchain transaction data (beacon chain withdrawals). It performs a read-only operation on public blockchain data. There is no capability to modify, delete, execute arbitrary operations, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius is minimal as misuse would only return data already visible on the blockchain. Severity is low because this is purely informational retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'Returns' and description states 'Returns the beacon chain withdrawals made to an address' — a query operation that retrieves historical blockchain data with no side effects or state modification.

POLICY

How to control account__txsBeaconWithdrawal

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Etherscan MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for account__txsBeaconWithdrawal:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "account__txsBeaconWithdrawal": {}
  }
}

account__txsBeaconWithdrawal is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Etherscan MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
