Compare Spectra's fixed yield (via PT) against the variable yield of the underlying interest-bearing token. Helps users decide if locking in a fixed rate is worthwhile versus staying in the variable-rate position. Protocol context: - The fixed rate comes from buying PT at a discount. Entry cost ...

AI agents call compare_yield 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_yield 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.

Compare Spectra's fixed yield (via PT) against the variable yield of the underlying interest-bearing token. Helps users decide if locking in a fixed rate is worthwhile versus staying in the variable-rate position. Protocol context: - The fixed rate comes from buying PT at a discount. Entry cost (price impact from the AMM trade) is amortized over days to maturity — shorter maturity means higher annualized entry cost, longer maturity spreads the cost thin. - Variable rate (IBT APR) fluctuates continuously. The fixed rate locks in at purchase. - LP alternative: providing liquidity to the Curve pool earns trading fees + SPECTRA gauge emissions. This is a third option alongside fixed (PT) and variable (IBT). Use get_looping_strategy to lever up the fixed yield via Morpho. Use get_portfolio to check your current positions. Use scan_opportunities for multi-chain comparison.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Spectra MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for compare_yield. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Spectra MCP server.
compare_yield is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the compare_yield 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for compare_yield. 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.
compare_yield 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.
