WHAT IT DOES

What intentSwap does on Agentek Eth

AI agents use intentSwap to commit financial operations through Agentek Eth — usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.

THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why intentSwap needs a policy

This tool executes on-chain token swaps, which constitutes a financial transaction. It moves real crypto assets, handles approvals, and commits trades on the Ethereum network. Misuse could result in significant financial loss through unfavorable swaps, manipulation, or directing funds incorrectly. The automatic handling of approvals and execution makes it especially high-risk.

From the tool's definition 'Swap ERC20 or ERC6909 tokens via the zRouter' and 'executes the swap' — moves cryptocurrency assets between tokens on-chain

POLICY

How to control intentSwap

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 intentSwap:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "intentSwap": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to intentSwap is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
