Smart stake with automatic token swap if needed. Will swap tokens first if user does not have the target asset
AI agents use smart_stake to commit financial operations through Telos Network MCP Server — usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.
This tool performs two financial operations: it swaps tokens (moving user assets from one token to another) and stakes them (locking assets in a DeFi protocol). Both actions involve moving/committing user funds on-chain and are largely irreversible in real-time. The automatic nature ('if needed') means it can trigger asset movement without explicit per-step confirmation, raising the blast radius significantly.
From the tool's definition 'Smart stake with automatic token swap if needed. Will swap tokens first if user does not have the target asset' — commits staking (financial obligation) and executes token swaps (moves assets) automatically
