evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats to retrieve information from EVM Copilot 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.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON EVM_COPILOT_GET_ECOSYSTEM_STATS

Even though evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats 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.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

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

// FAQ

What does the evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats tool do? +

Get overall EVM Copilot corpus statistics and available filters. It is categorised as a Read tool in the EVM Copilot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the EVM Copilot MCP server.

What risk level is evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats? +

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

Can I rate-limit evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats rule in your Intercept 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 evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats. 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 evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats? +

evm_copilot_get_ecosystem_stats is provided by the EVM Copilot MCP server (luca3/evm-copilot). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
