Single-target operation

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

AI agents call get_aave_reserves 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 get_aave_reserves 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 get_aave_reserves tool do? +

Use this when the user asks about AAVE lending markets, available assets, supply APY, borrow APY, TVL, utilization rate, collateral factors, or liquidation thresholds on a specific chain. Returns all active reserves sorted by total liquidity (TVL). RATE CONVERSION: liquidityRate and variableBorrowRate are in RAY units (1e27). Supply APY % = liquidityRate / 1e27 * 100. Borrow APY % = variableBorrowRate / 1e27 * 100. Amounts are in native token units — divide by 10^decimals for human-readable. Ideal for: 'What assets can I lend on Arbitrum?', 'What is USDC supply rate on Base?', 'Show me all AAVE V3 markets on Polygon'.. 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 get_aave_reserves? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_aave_reserves. 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 get_aave_reserves? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_aave_reserves? +

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

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

get_aave_reserves 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.
