WHAT IT DOES

What open_staking_position does on Indigo Protocol MCP

AI agents use open_staking_position to create or update resources in Indigo Protocol MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Indigo Protocol MCP environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`amount`	string	—	INDY amount to stake (in smallest unit)
`address`	string	—	User Cardano bech32 address

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why open_staking_position is rated Medium

This tool writes/creates a new staking position by generating an unsigned transaction. It is Write rather than Execute because the transaction requires client-side signing before execution, and rather than Financial because staking is a commitment of tokens (not a direct payment or trade).

From the tool's definition Tool description states it creates a new staking position and returns an unsigned transaction for signing. 'Creating' a staking position is a reversible write operation that modifies the user's staking state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs open_staking_position safely

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

open_staking_position Rate-limited

open_staking_position stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
