top_yields is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call top_yields to retrieve information from Yieldoracle without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though top_yields only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

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

What does the top_yields tool do? +

Get the highest APY yield pools across all chains and protocols. Filter by min TVL, chain, stablecoin-only. Data from 19K+ DeFi pools via DeFiLlama.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Yieldoracle MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on top_yields? +

Register the Yieldoracle MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for top_yields: 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 Yieldoracle. Nothing to install.

What risk level is top_yields? +

top_yields is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit top_yields? +

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

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

top_yields is provided by the Yieldoracle MCP server (https://tooloracle.io/yield/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Yieldoracle tool call.
