What get_funding_rates does on Tanod
AI agents call get_funding_rates 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | integer | — | Markets returned when symbol is omitted, 1-50 (default 10). |
symbol | object | — | Optional perp symbol such as BTC or kPEPE: returns its current funding and up to 7 days of hourly history. Omit for the top markets. |
min_volume_usd | number | — | Skip markets with less 24 h volume (USD), to hide thin markets. Default 0. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_funding_rates is rated Low
Even though get_funding_rates 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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_funding_rates safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tanod, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_funding_rates, this is the rule to start with:
get_funding_rates is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tanod, apply this rule, and every get_funding_rates call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_funding_rates
chainpeek: Use when an agent needs what a Hyperliquid perp costs to hold, or whether funding is flipping, before sizing a trade. For Hyperliquid against dYdX use compare_funding_rates; for the best pair over five venues use rank_funding_carry. Returns Hyperliquid perp funding: top markets by absolute funding (hourly and annualised, mark, open interest, 24 h volume), or one symbol with up to 7 days of hourly history. Hyperliquid perps only; cached up to 60 s; annualised = hourly x 24 x 365. Data only, not trading advice. Unknown symbol or bad input is a 422 (not charged). Typically 0.3-2 s. Price: USD 0.002. Free: 10 chain reads per IP per UTC day. Docs: https://tanod.dev/learn/perp-funding-rates-api.html. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tanod MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_funding_rates accepts 3 parameters: limit, symbol, min_volume_usd. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Tanod MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_funding_rates: 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 Tanod. Nothing to install.
