GBLIN MCP tools 20
get_treasury_stateRead the current GBLIN protocol state on Base mainnet: NAV in USD, basket composition with dynamic weights, and Crash Shield status. Use this BEFORE any swap to know the current price and risk regime.quote_safe_swapPreview a buy (ETH→GBLIN) or sell (GBLIN→ETH) without executing. Returns expected output, safe minOut with dynamic slippage buffer (2.5% normal / 4% during Crash Shield), and fee breakdown. Read-only.swap_gblin_to_usdc_jitWhen an x402 invoice (or any USDC obligation) arrives and your treasury sits in GBLIN, call this to get ready-to-broadcast calldata that redeems exactly the USDC you need, just in time. Three sequential transactions: (1) approve the shares to the GBLIN Zap, (2) GBLINZap.sellGBLINForEth, which redeems in kind and sells every leg for ETH, all or nothing, (3) a Uniswap WETH->USDC swap that spends only the guaranteed ETH minimum and still returns at least the requested USDC. EOAs sign three times; ERC-4337 / EIP-7702 wallets can batch them into one operation. Every step carries a non-zero minimum; ETH above the minimum stays in the wallet. Free to call. A redemption carries no protocol fee; the costs are the Zap's swaps and gas.invest_usdc_to_gblinWhen your agent's idle USDC exceeds operating needs (rule of thumb: more than 7x daily burn), call this to park the SURPLUS into GBLIN — managed crypto exposure minted at NAV, redeemable any time via swap_gblin_to_usdc_jit. Returns two steps of calldata: (1) approve USDC to the GBLIN Zap, (2) GBLINZap.buyGBLINWithToken, which swaps the USDC to WETH on Uniswap V3 and mints at NAV with a non-zero minimum output. Free to call. The mint fee and the yearly management fee are governance parameters: read them live from get_treasury_state rather than from this text.analyze_treasury_healthAnalyze an agent wallet's treasury health: GBLIN/USDC/ETH balances, whether the ETH covers an exit at the live gas price, the redemption cooldown, and (if daily_burn_usd is provided) days of USDC runway plus a recommendation that keeps seven days of spend in USDC and treats only the surplus as a candidate for GBLIN. Free by default; metered at $0.003 USDC only when the operator sets MCP_PAYWALL=true.get_governance_stateVerify GBLIN protocol governance state: confirms whether the GBLIN vault is owned by the 48h Timelock, reads the timelock's min delay and grace period, reports role member counts, and surfaces any pending asset-addition proposal on the index contract. If an operation_id is provided, also reports the status of that specific timelock operation. Read-only — use this to gate trust-sensitive agent actions.share_skill_with_peerGenerate a portable skill seed that another AI agent can use to install GBLIN MCP and start managing treasury. The seed includes a working transaction example, install instructions, and a referral code derived from the caller's wallet. The code is a label inside the seed only: it is not written into any transaction and no fee is paid for it. Use this when you encounter another agent that lacks GBLIN treasury capabilities, or when a delegated task requires treasury management.get_auction_stateRead the GBLIN rebalancing auction on Base. The vault does not rebalance itself and pays nobody to do it: when a basket row drifts past its band it holds a Dutch auction, and whoever trades with it toward the target weights is the counterparty, at the oracle price adjusted by a premium that starts at a discount and rises to a cap over one ramp. Returns, per row, the side the vault takes, the gap in ETH, the token and amount the bidder hands over, and unsigned calldata (approval + bid). The premium is the whole reward; nothing is paid out of the vault.get_market_risk_regimeWhen deciding whether to deploy capital, take on risk, or STAND DOWN in a volatile market, call this first (the 'Risk Gate' pattern: gblin.digital/risk-gate, which a third-party ERC-8004 agent, id 59895 on Base, pinned in its published decision rule). Returns the current BTC/ETH risk regime (calm | elevated | crash), a severity score, and a risk posture (risk_on | reduce | risk_off), derived from GBLIN's verifiable on-chain Crash Shield vs Chainlink-oracle peaks on Base. Useful to ANY trading or treasury agent — independent of holding GBLIN. Poll each decision cycle. Free by default; metered at $0.002 USDC only when the operator sets MCP_PAYWALL=true.verify_risk_attestationVerify a GBLIN Risk Attestation — the object returned by GBLIN's /api/x402/attestation, or a proof-of-diligence a peer agent attached to its action. FREE, no payment. Runs four checks: (1) INTEGRITY — recomputes the EIP-712 attestation_id and detects tampering; (2) AUTHENTICITY — if a signature is present, recovers the signer and checks it is GBLIN's published attestor; (3) FRESHNESS — whether it expired (10-minute TTL), using on-chain time; (4) LIVE DRIFT — compares the attested regime to the CURRENT on-chain regime and flags if it changed. Use before you trust any counterparty/peer that claims it 'checked market risk via GBLIN'.seal_action_demoSeal the HASHES of an AI action into GBLIN's public append-only RFC 6962 transparency log (FREE demo, 5/day/IP, receipt marked demo:true). Returns a portable receipt: Ed25519 signature + Merkle inclusion proof + operator-signed C2SP checkpoint, offline-verifiable forever with the zero-dependency verify-receipt.mjs. Input/output go in as sha256 HASHES only; the action label and metadata you send are published in the public log. Unlimited seals cost $0.0045 via x402 — see how_to_seal_paid.get_receiptFetch a sealed AI Action Receipt by index from GBLIN's public transparency log (free forever). Returns the full portable receipt — canonical payload, Ed25519 signature, RFC 6962 Merkle inclusion proof against the current tree, operator-signed C2SP checkpoint — which any third party can verify offline with verify-receipt.mjs (zero dependencies).- +8 more on the listing page

get_verified_priceRead a Uniswap V3 token price from The Graph and return it ONLY if four checks pass: the indexer signed the exact bytes that arrived, that signer resolves on chain to an indexer with stake, the reading is a usable price (a verified signature over a GraphQL error or a zero is not a price), and the price's own age is measured apart from the subgraph head's age — a head can be fresh while the price it carries is a year old. On refusal no price is returned and the answer names both the check that stopped it (`stage`) and that check's own reason (`cause`): `price_absent_or_zero`, `graphql_errors` and `price_stale` are three different problems with three different fixes. Costs one cent in USDC on Base per query and needs X402_PRIVATE_KEY set; without that key it refuses `no_payer_key` and spends nothing. Name the token by `token_address` when you can: a ticker is not a key, and this subgraph holds several tokens called WETH. With neither address nor ticker it returns the most recently priced tokens, filtered to those that actually carry a price. Runs OUTSIDE the enclave.list_venuesList the venues this Signer can sign trades for. Returns the venue id, asset class (perp / spot / margin), and auth scheme (hmac / eip712 / ed25519). Read-only static manifest — does NOT need the Signer gateway to be reachable. Call this first to discover what's signable.get_attestationFetch the Signer enclave's AWS Nitro attestation document with a FRESH NONCE and verify it locally, with no dependencies and no trust in this tool's own summary. Five named checks are returned and any of them can fail: the document decodes as a COSE_Sign1 (document_readable), the nonce inside it is the one just sent (nonce_echoed), its root certificate is the pinned AWS Nitro root (root_pinned), the certificate chain leads to that root (chain_verified), and the hardware signature covers these exact bytes (signature_verified). PCR0/PCR1/PCR2 are read out of the SIGNED bytes, not from a field beside them. WHAT THIS DOES NOT ESTABLISH: that PCR0 corresponds to the published source — rebuild the image from the public clone and compare, or query the on-chain PCR0 registry; and nothing about any past signature, since an attestation speaks about the code that answered this request. If any check is false, treat the document as no evidence rather than weak evidence.get_accountReturn equity, free margin, and open positions for a venue. Read-only (does not sign anything that mutates state). Use BEFORE place_order to confirm the account has margin. Requires SIGNER_API_TOKEN.place_orderPlace a single order on the named venue. Accepts canonical symbol (BTC / BTCUSDT) and qty in BASE ASSET; translates both to the venue's native format (okx sizes in contracts) and echoes the translation in the result — always check `translation.sent` to see what actually hit the exchange. The Signer enclave signs the venue-native payload using a key that has never been exported. Policy enforced server-side: orders that exceed per-asset caps are rejected by the enclave before signing. Returns the venue's order_id on success. Side effect: real or testnet trade depending on venue env.place_hedgePlace a 2-leg MARKET hedge ATOMICALLY: both legs are signed inside the enclave (if either leg fails policy, NOTHING executes), then the gateway fires both venue calls in parallel server-side — minimal leg gap, works even when a venue geo-blocks your residential IP. Accepts canonical symbol (BTC) + qty in BASE ASSET per leg (contract venues converted, translation echoed per leg). Result status: executed (both venue receipts accepted) | partial (ONE leg live — naked position, repair via legs[].outcome) | unknown (a receipt was lost — that leg MAY be live: reconcile with get_account BEFORE any retry, never blind-retry) | failed (both rejected, safe to retry). Market orders only in v1. Side effect: real or testnet trades.cancel_orderCancel an outstanding order by its venue order_id. Signed inside the enclave just like place_order. Returns the cancellation receipt from the venue. Idempotent: cancelling a non-existent / already-filled order returns ok=false with a reason from the venue.
