# get_dex_volume

chainpeek: Get DEX volume by protocol and chain. For TVL use get_protocol_tvl. Returns DEX volume over 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days with change: a DEX's chains, a chain's largest DEXs, a DEX on a chain, or the market total and the largest DEXs, from Tanod's cache of DefiLlama data. Input: optional protocol, optional chain and limit; give one, both or neither. Cached DefiLlama data (refreshed every few hours), never live; as_of shows its age; chain tables cover the 25 chains with the most volume; an unknown name is a 422 with suggestions and a missing or over-2-day-old cache a 503 (neither charged). Informational only. Typically under 1 s (a local cache read). Price: USD 0.004. Free: 10 chain reads per IP per UTC day. Docs: https://tanod.dev/learn/defi-data-api.html

## Facts

- Tool: `get_dex_volume`

- Homepage: https://github.com/https://tanod.dev/mcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server auth posture: open

- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 3
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `chain` | object | no | Chain name among the 25 chains with the most DEX volume, e.g. Solana, Ethereum, Base, BSC. With protocol: that DEX's volume on the chain. Alone: the chain and i |
| `limit` | integer | no | Rows in a ranking or a breakdown, 1-50 (default 10). |
| `protocol` | object | no | DEX name or slug, e.g. uniswap, uniswap-v3, curve-dex, pancakeswap-amm (a parent such as uniswap sums its versions). Omit for a chain or the overview. |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_dex_volume",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why get_dex_volume is rated Low

Even though get_dex_volume only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call get_dex_volume to retrieve information from Tanod without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Tanod:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_dex_volume": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
