Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Graph Aave MCP Tools (51)

list_aave_chains

Use this when the user asks which AAVE chains are supported, wants to pick a network, or needs to discover available AAVE deployments. Returns all supported chains with their subgraph IDs, protocol version (V2/V3), chain name, 30-day query volume, and key entities. Chains: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, Fantom (V3 + V2 legacy), plus AAVE Governance V3. Always call this first if chain is ambiguous.

get_aave_reserves

Use this when the user asks about AAVE lending markets, available assets, supply APY, borrow APY, TVL, utilization rate, collateral factors, or liquidation thresholds on a specific chain. Returns all active reserves sorted by total liquidity (TVL). RATE CONVERSION: liquidityRate and variableBorrowRate are in RAY units (1e27). Supply APY % = liquidityRate / 1e27 * 100. Borrow APY % = variableBorrowRate / 1e27 * 100. Amounts are in native token units — divide by 10^decimals for human-readable. Ideal for: 'What assets can I lend on Arbitrum?', 'What is USDC supply rate on Base?', 'Show me all AAVE V3 markets on Polygon'. SIZE: unfiltered this returns every active reserve (~28k tokens on Ethereum). Pass `symbols` for a named asset, or `compact: true` for rates only.

get_aave_reserve

Use this when the user asks about a specific AAVE asset in detail — e.g. 'Tell me everything about USDC on Ethereum AAVE', 'What are the WETH borrow parameters?', 'What is the liquidation threshold for WBTC collateral?'. Returns full reserve config: current rates, TVL, LTV, liquidation parameters, lifetime stats (total borrows/repayments/liquidations), and token addresses. RATE CONVERSION: divide liquidityRate / variableBorrowRate by 1e27 * 100 for APY %.
