Use this when the user asks 'Where should I supply USDC for the best yield?', 'Which chain has the lowest WETH borrow rate?', 'Compare AAVE rates across chains for USDC', 'Best AAVE lending rates for DAI'.

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

AI agents call find_best_rates to retrieve information from Graph Aave 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 find_best_rates 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 find_best_rates tool do? +

Use this when the user asks 'Where should I supply USDC for the best yield?', 'Which chain has the lowest WETH borrow rate?', 'Compare AAVE rates across chains for USDC', 'Best AAVE lending rates for DAI'. Queries all AAVE lending deployments in parallel for the given asset, then ranks by APY. Excludes Fantom (incompatible Messari schema) and skips anomalous pools. Returns a ranked table with chain, supply APY, variable borrow APY, utilization, and approx available liquidity. Includes a _recommendation field with the best option.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Graph Aave MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on find_best_rates? +

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

What risk level is find_best_rates? +

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

Can I rate-limit find_best_rates? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the find_best_rates 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 find_best_rates completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for find_best_rates. 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 find_best_rates? +

find_best_rates is provided by the Graph Aave MCP server (graph-aave-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
