lending.borrow is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call lending.borrow to retrieve information from Syenite 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 lending.borrow 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.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so lending.borrow only ever does what you allow.

What does the lending.borrow tool do? +

Generates unsigned variable-rate borrow transaction calldata for Aave v3 (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base) or Spark (Ethereum). Call lending.risk.assess before this tool to confirm the target LTV is safe and the market has sufficient liquidity. Provide protocol, chain, asset to borrow (e.g. "USDC"), human-readable amount, and onBehalfOf wallet address; collateral must already be supplied. Returns one transaction request (no approval needed for borrows); Syenite never holds private keys and no funds move until the caller signs and broadcasts.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Syenite MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on lending.borrow? +

Register the Syenite MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for lending.borrow: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Syenite. Nothing to install.

What risk level is lending.borrow? +

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

Can I rate-limit lending.borrow? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the lending.borrow rule in your PolicyLayer 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 lending.borrow completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for lending.borrow. 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 lending.borrow? +

lending.borrow is provided by the Syenite MCP server (@syenite/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Syenite tool call.
