AI agents call paradex_funding_data to retrieve information from Paradex MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
market_id | string | — | Market symbol to get funding data for. |
end_unix_ms | integer | — | End time in unix milliseconds. |
start_unix_ms | integer | — | Start time in unix milliseconds. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool performs read-only operations on market data (funding rates, historical patterns, calculations based on existing data). It enables analysis and information gathering but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any trading actions. While it relates to a financial platform, it does not move money or commit financial obligations—it only provides analytical data to inform trading decisions.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves funding rates data: 'Analyze funding rates', 'Calculate expected funding payments', 'Find markets with extreme funding rates', 'Understand historical funding patterns'. All verbs indicate data retrieval and analysis with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access paradex_funding_data gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Paradex MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for paradex_funding_data:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"paradex_funding_data": {}
}
}paradex_funding_data is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Analyze funding rates for potential funding arbitrage or to understand holding costs. Use this tool when you need to: - Calculate expected funding payments for a position - Find markets with extreme funding rates for potential arbitrage - Understand historical funding patterns for a market - Evaluate the cost of holding a position over time This data is critical for perpetual futures traders to assess the carrying cost of positions and identify potential funding arbitrage opportunities. Example use cases: - Finding markets with negative funding for "paid to hold" opportunities - Calculating the funding component of a trade's P&L - Comparing funding rates across different assets for relative value trades - Analyzing funding rate volatility to predict potential rate changes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Paradex MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
paradex_funding_data accepts 3 parameters: market_id, end_unix_ms, start_unix_ms. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Paradex MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for paradex_funding_data: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Paradex MCP Server. Nothing to install.
paradex_funding_data is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the paradex_funding_data rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for paradex_funding_data. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
paradex_funding_data is provided by the Paradex MCP Server MCP server (tradeparadex/mcp-paradex-py). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
