Why drift_add_margin needs a policy

This tool deposits collateral into a Drift V2 margin account, which is a Write operation (modifies account state reversibly). While it involves financial assets (collateral on a DeFi protocol), it is not a Financial category tool because it doesn't directly move money between entities or commit financial obligations in the traditional sense—it's account collateral management. It could be undone by withdrawing margin.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'drift_add_margin' and description 'Deposit collateral to increase available margin on Drift V2 margin account' indicate a reversible financial operation that modifies account state by adding collateral.

How to control drift_add_margin

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Waiaas, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for drift_add_margin:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "drift_add_margin": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "drift_add_margin_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

drift_add_margin stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Waiaas — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
