Why delegate_votes needs a policy

Delegating voting power modifies on-chain governance state by assigning one's votes to another address. This is a reversible write operation (delegation can be changed or revoked), not financial, destructive, or execute in nature. Misuse could redirect governance influence but does not move funds directly.

How to control delegate_votes

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 delegate_votes:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "delegate_votes": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "delegate_votes_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

delegate_votes stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
