WHAT IT DOES

What defillama_protocols does on Codex CCXT MCP

AI agents call defillama_protocols to retrieve information from Codex CCXT 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 defillama_protocols is rated Low

The tool retrieves public TVL (Total Value Locked) data from DefiLlama's public API with no side effects, no state changes, and no ability to execute code or commands. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with minimal security risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read-only, free public endpoint' and fetches 'metadata' without modification or execution capabilities.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs defillama_protocols safely

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

defillama_protocols Allowed

defillama_protocols is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "defillama_protocols": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Codex CCXT MCP, apply this rule, and every defillama_protocols call is checked against it from then on.
