WHAT IT DOES

What start_bot does on Boosty MCP DeFi Platform

AI agents invoke start_bot to trigger actions in Boosty MCP DeFi Platform. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why start_bot needs a policy

This tool starts an automated bot that performs live financial operations. While it is financial in nature, it primarily functions as an Execute action that triggers complex external processes (trading bots, volume generation) whose outcomes are not directly controllable by the user and depend on bot logic and market state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'start_bot' combined with server description indicating 'execute real DeFi operations on Solana and EVM chains' and context of 'live trading, volume generation, and wallet management.' The tool triggers external operations (bot execution) whose…

POLICY

How to control start_bot

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "start_bot": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "start_bot_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

start_bot stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
