WHAT IT DOES

What gala_launchpad_buy does on Gala

AI agents invoke gala_launchpad_buy to trigger actions in Gala. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`type`	string	Yes	Trade type (must match what you used in calculateBuyAmount): - 'native': Spending GALA amount - 'exact': Buying exact token amount.
`amount`	string	Yes	Amount to spend/buy.
`tokenName`	string	Yes	Token name.
`privateKey`	string	—	Optional private key override for this operation (format: "0x" + 64 hex characters). If provided, uses this wallet instead of the default MCP server wallet.
`expectedAmount`	string	Yes	Expected token output amount from calculateBuyAmount (REQUIRED). CRITICAL: This is the 'amount' field from calculateBuyAmount result, NOT your input amount. W
`slippageToleranceFactor`	number	Yes	Decimal format (0.05 = 5% slippage).
`maxAcceptableReverseBondingCurveFee`	string	—	OPTIONAL: Base reverse bonding curve fee from calculateBuyAmount (GALA), result.reverseBondingCurveFee. Buys pay no reverse bonding curve fee, so this can be om
`maxAcceptableReverseBondingCurveFeeSlippageFactor`	number	—	Optional slippage tolerance for reverse bonding curve fee (decimal, e.g., 0.01 for 1%). Defaults to 0.01 (1%) if not provided. Applied to maxAcceptableReverseBo

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why gala_launchpad_buy is rated High

gala_launchpad_buy triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs gala_launchpad_buy safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Gala, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gala_launchpad_buy, this is the rule to start with:

gala_launchpad_buy Rate-limited

gala_launchpad_buy stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
