On 2026-10-24 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 541 ms.

• Its tools do borrow against bitcoin collateral through rate auctions, but not buy or sell active loan positions mid-stream.
• Checked on 3 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (30%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%) and use (15%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

• get_yield_curve

  Returns the current fitted Gavel yield curve for the requested collateral/loan pair. Rates are oracle-free, derived from auctions in The Gavel Protocol. The curve is a log-quadratic fit through binned midpoints. IMPORTANT — every rate…

• get_protocol_reference

  Returns the Gavel Protocol's complete on-chain reference data for the requested network: contract addresses, supported tokens (collateral and loan), key function signatures, operational conventions (like the Position NFT tokenId formula)…

• check_wallet_status

  Returns a structured readiness report for the given wallet address: native ETH balance for gas, relevant ERC-20 balances (USDC, USDT, WBTC), current allowances against the Gavel LoanProtocol and ListingService, and a precomputed list of…

• find_auctions_matching_criteria

  Returns Gavel auctions filtered by the criteria you supply. Does not rank, score, or recommend a specific auction — only filters by the parameters provided. The user chooses what to act on. Useful for: an agent helping a user narrow a…

• list_fiat_onramps

  Returns a catalog of fiat-to-USDC onramps that deliver native USDC on the requested chain. Does not rank or endorse a specific provider — entries are listed alphabetically so the response is deterministic. The user chooses which onramp to…

• list_wallet_options

  Returns a catalog of self-custody wallet apps compatible with Gavel (i.e., that support Arbitrum One). Does not rank wallets by quality. Each entry has a 'suitability_tags' list describing the typical user fit as factual attributes…

• get_user_positions

  Returns every Gavel position an address holds — as borrower, as winning lender, or as a bidder on an auction that has not closed. Each position carries its lifecycle state (auction_open, bid_placed, bid_lost, active, matured_unclaimed…

• get_loan_status

  Returns the current state of a single Gavel loan and what action, if any, is available to whom. Designed to be re-called during a long conversation so lifecycle changes can be surfaced to the user. 'next_actions' is an array of {actor…

• list_gavel_indicators

  Returns the catalogue of Aletheia indicators computed from The Gavel Protocol and the Bitcoin chain: id, name, family, units, description, and whether the indicator is currently live on this network. Three families: 'credit'…

• get_gavel_indicator

  Returns the current value of a single Aletheia indicator by id, with its methodology reference. This server serves this protocol's own indicator set, including those anchored on its rate. Call list_gavel_indicators first to discover valid…

• prepare_bid_calldata

  Builds an unsigned transaction blueprint for placing a bid on a Gavel auction, including the prerequisite ERC-20 approval when the current allowance is short. You supply the auction and the repayment amount you are willing to accept; this…

• prepare_create_auction_calldata

  Builds an unsigned transaction blueprint for creating a borrow auction — you post collateral and ask lenders to compete to lend against it — including the prerequisite collateral approval. Every term is yours to set: which collateral and…

• prepare_repay_loan_calldata

  Builds an unsigned transaction blueprint for repaying a Gavel loan, including the prerequisite approval for the repayment amount. Validates that the loan is live and that you are its borrower. Repay before maturity or the lender may claim…

• prepare_claim_collateral_calldata

  Builds an unsigned transaction blueprint for a lender to claim the collateral on a defaulted Gavel loan. Validates that you are the lender and that the loan has passed maturity without repayment. Chain state is authoritative — a repayment…

• prepare_claim_refund_calldata

  Builds an unsigned transaction blueprint for reclaiming funds held by the protocol after a losing bid. When you are outbid, your funds stay claimable rather than being pushed back automatically. This encodes the claim for a given token…

• list_comparables

  Which recent auctions resemble these parameters, and how did each clear? Returns the individual observations so the caller can reason from them directly. Nearest-k settled auctions by normalised distance on loan amount, LTV and tenor…

• get_address_history

  What has this address done on the protocol? Public chain events only, with no enrichment beyond them. Auctions originated, bids placed, positions open and closed, and a summary of outcomes. No clustering, no labelling and no inferred…

• get_book

  What is open right now — auctions, bids and positions listed? Current chain state, with counts rather than a characterisation of depth. Open auctions with their best bid and time remaining, those closing within 24 hours, and totals: open…

• get_verification_bundle

  What can be checked about the contracts, and what did the last check return? Observations with their block heights; the verdict is the reader's. Contract addresses and their implementations, the bytecode hash of each, the upgradeability…
