What getSwaps does on Agentek Eth

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

Why getSwaps needs a policy

This tool retrieves historical swap event data from a blockchain or DeFi pool without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. Even though it operates in a cryptocurrency context, fetching read-only data poses minimal risk unless the data itself could be misused for reconnaissance—but that remains a Read category action with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getSwaps' and description 'Fetch recent swap events' clearly indicate a retrieval operation. The phrase 'optionally filtered by block range' confirms this is a query/read operation with no side effects.

How to control getSwaps

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

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

getSwaps 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 Agentek Eth — 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.
