AI agents call get_market_snapshot to retrieve information from PreFlyte — DeFi Financial Intelligence for AI Agents without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though get_market_snapshot only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Get current market snapshot for a specific lending market. Returns the latest rates, risk parameters, token price, and gas price. This is the foundation of RealityCheck — giving agents ground truth about current market conditions before they act.

Returns: Dictionary with latest lending rates, risk parameters (if available), current token price, current gas price, data freshness timestamps, and rate_context (7-day averages, standard deviations, anomaly flags).. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PreFlyte — DeFi Financial Intelligence for AI Agents MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the PreFlyte — DeFi Financial Intelligence for AI Agents MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_market_snapshot: 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 PreFlyte — DeFi Financial Intelligence for AI Agents. Nothing to install.
get_market_snapshot 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 get_market_snapshot 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 get_market_snapshot. 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.
