Fetch top assets by volume from Wormholescan API.
AI agents call get_top_assets_by_volume to retrieve information from Wormhole Metrics without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves analytics data about asset volumes on the Wormhole protocol. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it simply queries and returns information. The blast radius of misuse is minimal as it only reads pre-computed metrics. This is consistent with sibling tools that perform similar analytical queries (get_cross_chain_activity, get_kpi_list, get_top_symbols_by_volume, etc.).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_top_assets_by_volume' and description 'Fetch top assets by volume' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Fetch' and the context of querying metrics from Wormholescan API confirm this is a data retrieval with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Fetch top assets by volume from Wormholescan API. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Wormhole Metrics MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Wormhole Metrics MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_top_assets_by_volume: 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 Wormhole Metrics. Nothing to install.
get_top_assets_by_volume is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_top_assets_by_volume 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 get_top_assets_by_volume. 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.
get_top_assets_by_volume is provided by the Wormhole Metrics MCP server (kukapay/wormhole-metrics-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
