AI agents use prepare_token_send to create or update resources in VaultPilot MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your VaultPilot MCP environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
to | object | Yes | |
chain | string | — | |
token | string | Yes | |
amount | string | Yes | Human-readable decimal amount, NOT raw wei/base units. Example: "10" for 10 USDC. Decimals resolved from the token contract. Pass "max" to send the full balance |
wallet | string | Yes |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
An AI agent can call prepare_token_send faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in VaultPilot MCP by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Build an unsigned ERC-20 transfer transaction. Pass amount: "max" to send the full balance (resolved at build time). If the user named the token by symbol, call resolve_token first to disambiguate native-vs-bridged variants (USDC vs USDC.e on Arbitrum/Polygon/Optimism, USDC vs USDbC on Base) and surface the warning to the user before committing to a contract. It is categorised as a Write tool in the VaultPilot MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
prepare_token_send accepts 5 parameters: to, chain, token, amount, wallet. Required: to, token, 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_token_send: 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_token_send is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the prepare_token_send 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_token_send. 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_token_send 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.
