Build an unsigned Aave V3 repay transaction. If an ERC-20 approve() is required first, it is returned as the outer tx and repay is in .next. Pass amount: "max" to repay the full debt.
AI agents invoke prepare_aave_repay to trigger actions in VaultPilot MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
asset | string | Yes | |
chain | string | — | |
amount | string | Yes | Human-readable decimal amount of `asset`, NOT raw wei/base units. Example: "1.5" for 1.5 USDC, "0.01" for 0.01 ETH. Pass "max" for full-balance withdraw/repay. |
wallet | string | Yes | |
approvalCap | string | — | Cap on the ERC-20 approval preceding this action. Omit for "unlimited" (standard DeFi UX — fewer follow-up approvals). Pass "exact" to approve only what this ac |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
prepare_aave_repay triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once — it starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Build an unsigned Aave V3 repay transaction. If an ERC-20 approve() is required first, it is returned as the outer tx and repay is in .next. Pass amount: "max" to repay the full debt. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the VaultPilot MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
prepare_aave_repay accepts 5 parameters: asset, chain, amount, wallet, approvalCap. Required: asset, amount, wallet. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the VaultPilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for prepare_aave_repay: 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 VaultPilot MCP. Nothing to install.
prepare_aave_repay is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the prepare_aave_repay 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for prepare_aave_repay. 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.
prepare_aave_repay is provided by the VaultPilot MCP server (vaultpilot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
