Compare Pendle and Spectra yield opportunities side-by-side on the same chain. Auto-matches markets by underlying asset to produce a head-to-head comparison.

Part of the Spectra MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call compare_pendle_spectra to retrieve information from Spectra without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though compare_pendle_spectra only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the compare_pendle_spectra tool do? +

Compare Pendle and Spectra yield opportunities side-by-side on the same chain. Auto-matches markets by underlying asset to produce a head-to-head comparison. Essential for MetaVault curators who can allocate to either protocol. Shows: - Implied APY (fixed rate) comparison - LP APY comparison (relevant for MetaVault allocation) - Pool liquidity and TVL comparison - Variable rate comparison - Per-market winner analysis Only works on chains where both Spectra and Pendle are deployed: Ethereum, Optimism, BSC, Sonic, Base, Arbitrum Use list_pendle_markets for Pendle-only chain data. Use scan_opportunities for Spectra-native capital-aware ranking.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Spectra MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on compare_pendle_spectra? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for compare_pendle_spectra. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Spectra MCP server.

What risk level is compare_pendle_spectra? +

compare_pendle_spectra is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit compare_pendle_spectra? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the compare_pendle_spectra rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block compare_pendle_spectra completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for compare_pendle_spectra. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides compare_pendle_spectra? +

compare_pendle_spectra is provided by the Spectra MCP server (spectra-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
