What's trending in crypto and where are the airdrops? Get active market narratives (e.g., AgentFi, L2s, RWA, DePIN) and airdrop farming opportunities — both confirmed and speculative. Use this when someone asks about trending crypto narratives, hot sectors, or free token airdrops. Human-curated. ...

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

AI agents call get_alpha to retrieve information from Crypto Analysis Human 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 get_alpha 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.
