get_proposal_votes

Use this when the user asks about the vote totals on a specific AAVE governance proposal — 'How did proposal #X vote?', 'Show me the for/against breakdown for proposal #185', 'Did proposal #X pass?'. Returns aggregate vote totals: total forVotes and againstVotes for the proposal. Note: individual...

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_proposal_votes 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_proposal_votes 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_proposal_votes tool do? +

Use this when the user asks about the vote totals on a specific AAVE governance proposal — 'How did proposal #X vote?', 'Show me the for/against breakdown for proposal #185', 'Did proposal #X pass?'. Returns aggregate vote totals: total forVotes and againstVotes for the proposal. Note: individual per-voter records are not indexed in this subgraph.. 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_proposal_votes? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit get_proposal_votes? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_proposal_votes 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_proposal_votes completely? +

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

get_proposal_votes 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.
