What execute_swap does on Sperax Ecosystem Crypto & DeFI MCP Server

Why execute_swap needs a policy

How to control execute_swap

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 execute_swap:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "execute_swap": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "execute_swap_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

execute_swap 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Sperax Ecosystem Crypto & DeFI MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
