Builds, signs, and submits a Solana swap in a single call. Equivalent to build_swap → local sign → submit_signed_swap, but the MCP server handles the encoding conversion (base58 → base64) for you.

Part of the Trade Router server.

auto_swap can trigger actions in Trade Router, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke auto_swap to trigger processes or run actions in Trade Router. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

auto_swap can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access auto_swap gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the auto_swap tool do? +

Builds, signs, and submits a Solana swap in a single call. Equivalent to build_swap → local sign → submit_signed_swap, but the MCP server handles the encoding conversion (base58 → base64) for you. WHEN TO USE: For most swaps. This is the simplest path. Use build_swap + submit_signed_swap separately only when you need to inspect or modify the transaction before signing (e.g. agent-layer validation of the output amount). WHAT IT DOES: Calls /swap to get an unsigned tx, signs it locally with TRADEROUTER_PRIVATE_KEY (key never leaves the process), submits via /protect (Jito MEV-protected). Returns the swap details and confirmation in one response. RETURNS: { swap: { swap_tx, pool_type, amount_in, min_amount_out, price_impact, slippage, decimals }, protect: { status, signature, sol_balance_pre, sol_balance_post, token_balances } }. If swap-build fails, only the swap object is returned with status=. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Trade Router MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on auto_swap? +

Register the Trade Router MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for auto_swap: 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 Trade Router. Nothing to install.

What risk level is auto_swap? +

auto_swap is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit auto_swap? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the auto_swap 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 auto_swap completely? +

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

auto_swap is provided by the Trade Router MCP server (@traderouter/trade-router-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Trade Router tool call.
