AI agents invoke prepare_compound_borrow 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
chain | string | — | EVM chain the Comet market lives on. Defaults to ethereum. |
amount | string | Yes | Human-readable decimal amount of the market base token, NOT raw wei/base units. Example: "100" for 100 USDC. |
market | string | Yes | Comet market address (e.g. cUSDCv3). The base token is resolved on-chain. |
wallet | string | Yes | 0x-prefixed EVM wallet address (40 hex chars) that will execute this action. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
prepare_compound_borrow 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 Compound V3 borrow transaction. Compound V3 encodes a borrow as withdraw(baseToken) drawn beyond the wallet's supplied balance — the base token is resolved on-chain from the Comet market so you only pass the market address and amount. Requires the wallet to have already supplied enough collateral in that market; get_compound_positions shows the current collateral mix. Returns a handle + human-readable preview for the user to sign on Ledger; no approval step is needed (borrowing doesn't pull tokens from the wallet). 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_compound_borrow accepts 4 parameters: chain, amount, market, wallet. Required: amount, market, 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_compound_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 VaultPilot MCP. Nothing to install.
prepare_compound_borrow 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_compound_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for prepare_compound_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.
prepare_compound_borrow 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.
