WHAT IT DOES

What api_haystack_get_swap_quote does on Algorand MCP

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

RISK

Why api_haystack_get_swap_quote is rated Low

This tool queries a DEX aggregator for pricing information and swap route details. It performs no irreversible actions, creates no financial obligations, and executes no transactions. It is purely informational — a read operation that allows users to preview swap options before taking action. The instruction to use it 'before executing' confirms it does not itself execute swaps.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get an optimized swap quote' and 'Use this to preview a swap before executing' — it retrieves quote data without executing any transaction or modifying state.
