WHAT IT DOES

What hydra_swap_execute does on Near Hydra

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

THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why hydra_swap_execute needs a policy

This tool moves crypto assets across blockchains by executing swaps and sending tokens to deposit addresses. It directly commits financial transactions involving real assets (BTC, ETH, SOL, NEAR, and other tokens) across 10 blockchains. Misuse could result in irreversible loss of funds at critical scale.

From the tool's definition Execute an end-to-end cross-chain swap via NEAR Intents 1Click... send the origin asset to the depositAddress, and submit the deposit hash

POLICY

How to control hydra_swap_execute

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

policy.json

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

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

FAQ

Questions about hydra_swap_execute

What does the hydra_swap_execute tool do? +

Execute an end-to-end cross-chain swap via NEAR Intents 1Click. Auto-routes the origin send by asset: NEAR-side FTs use ft_transfer; bridged EVM (ETH/ARB/BASE/POL/BSC/OP/AVAX/Aurora) routes through send_evm using a derived foreign-chain address; native BTC and SOL use their native sends; SPL tokens (nep141:sol-{mint}.omft.near) route through send_spl with auto-ATA creation. SAFE: dry=true returns the inferred route + previewed quote request. Set dry=false to fetch a non-dry quote, send the origin asset to the depositAddress, and submit the deposit hash. Pre-conditions: derived address must hold the origin asset + native gas on its chain; NEAR account pays for the MPC sign request. It is categorised as a Financial tool in the Near Hydra MCP Server, which means it involves financial transactions. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on hydra_swap_execute? +

Register the Near Hydra MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for hydra_swap_execute: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Near Hydra. Nothing to install.

What risk level is hydra_swap_execute? +

hydra_swap_execute is a Financial tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit hydra_swap_execute? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the hydra_swap_execute rule in your PolicyLayer 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 hydra_swap_execute completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for hydra_swap_execute. 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 hydra_swap_execute? +

hydra_swap_execute is provided by the Near Hydra MCP server (nikshepsvn/near-hydra). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
