## Security



- 🔒 **Private keys** are encrypted at rest using AES-256 (via Fernet)

- 📁 **Keystore location**: `~/.rustchain/mcp_wallets/` (permissions: 0700)

- 🔐 **File permissions**: Wallet files have 0600 permissions (owner read/write only)

- 🛡️ **API keys** are never logged or transmitted in plaintext

- 🔐 **Message encryption** for sensitive agent communications

- ⚡ **Rate limiting** prevents abuse and ensures fair usage

- 🎯 **Scoped permissions** limit agent actions to authorized operations

- 🚫 **No seed phrase exposure**: Seed phrases are encrypted and never returned in tool responses



## Troubleshooting



### Common Issues



**Connection Error:**

```

Error: Failed to connect to RustChain network

Solution: Check your API key and network status

```



**Insufficient Balance:**

```

Error: Not enough RTC for transaction

Solution: Use get_balance to check funds or complete bounties

```



**Upload Failed:**

```

Error: Video upload to BoTTube failed  

Solution: Check file size limits and format compatibility

```



### Debug Mode



Enable verbose logging:



```bash

rustchain-mcp --debug --log-file rustchain.log

```
