# get_exchange_reserves

chainpeek: Use when an agent must judge selling pressure or check reserves before depositing: a coin's exchange inflow or outflow. For DEX volume use get_dex_volume. Returns how much of a coin sits on centralised exchanges and whether it is flowing in or out: per exchange the amount, USD value, share and the 1, 7 and 30-day change, totals and a daily history, from Tanod's cache of DefiLlama data. Cached DefiLlama data (refreshed every few hours), never live; the wallets are the exchanges' published or labelled wallets, so a rise means coins moved into them; symbols matched exactly; an unknown asset or exchange is a 422 and a missing or over-2-day-old cache a 503 (neither charged). Typically under 1 s (a local cache read). Price: USD 0.01. Free: 10 chain reads per IP per UTC day. Docs: https://tanod.dev/learn/exchange-reserves-api.html

- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 3 (1 required)
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `days` | integer | no | Length of the daily history of the total, in days (default 30, at most 90). |
| `asset` | string | yes | Token symbol held on exchanges, e.g. BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC (case-insensitive; matched exactly, so WBTC is not BTC). |

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_exchange_reserves",
    "arguments": {
      "asset": "<asset>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why get_exchange_reserves is rated Low

Even though get_exchange_reserves 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_exchange_reserves 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_exchange_reserves": {}
  }
}
```
