Why add_liquidity needs a policy

Adding liquidity to a DEX involves committing real crypto assets into a liquidity pool, which is a financial operation. It moves user funds into a smart contract, creating financial obligations and exposure to impermanent loss. This falls squarely in the Financial category as it commits financial assets to a DeFi protocol on Arbitrum or BNB Chain.

How to control add_liquidity

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sperax Ecosystem Crypto & DeFI MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_liquidity:

policy.json

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

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