What get_quotes does on Waiaas

AI agents call get_quotes to retrieve information from Waiaas without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_quotes needs a policy

This tool retrieves pricing/quote information from a decentralized exchange or aggregator. It does not execute transactions, modify state, or incur financial obligations. While the description is incomplete, the function name and context indicate it performs a read-only query operation. The incomplete description slightly lowers confidence but the function name and context are clear enough.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_quotes' and description 'Get swap quotes from D' (D appears truncated but likely refers to a DEX like Dexaggregate or similar). Retrieving quotes is a read operation with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_quotes gives an agent:

How to control get_quotes

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 get_quotes:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_quotes": {}
  }
}

get_quotes is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
