swap.status

Tracks the execution status of a cross-chain bridge transaction submitted after a swap.quote call, polling LI.FI's bridge monitoring API to report whether the transfer is PENDING, DONE, or FAILED. Call this after submitting a cross-chain transaction — same-chain swaps settle immediately and do no...

AI agents may call swap.status to permanently remove or destroy resources in Syenite. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call swap.status in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Syenite. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

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

What does the swap.status tool do? +

Tracks the execution status of a cross-chain bridge transaction submitted after a swap.quote call, polling LI.FI's bridge monitoring API to report whether the transfer is PENDING, DONE, or FAILED. Call this after submitting a cross-chain transaction — same-chain swaps settle immediately and do not require polling. Requires txHash (the sending transaction hash); supply fromChain and toChain for faster resolution, or omit to default to ethereum. Returns current status, substatus, receiving transaction hash, amount received at destination, and a human-readable message explaining next steps. Does not cancel or modify the transfer — it is read-only.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Syenite MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on swap.status? +

Register the Syenite MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for swap.status: 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 swap.status? +

swap.status is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit swap.status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the swap.status 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 swap.status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for swap.status. 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 swap.status? +

swap.status 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.
