Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| arcade_marketsA | List always-tradeable reference tokens on Arc (USDC, stablecoins, BTC, ETH). |
| arcade_trendingC | List launchpad tokens ranked by market cap (USDC), with curve progress. |
| arcade_portfolioB | Get known-token balances for a wallet address. |
| arcade_quoteA | Best-execution price quote across all Arc venues. Read-only. amountIn is in raw token units. |
| arcade_swapA | Build approve + swap contract-call descriptors (contractAddress, abiFunctionSignature, abiParameters) for the agent to sign with its own wallet on ARC-TESTNET (chainId 5042002). recipient is the agent wallet; output is sent there. amountIn is RAW token units (integer string; USDC has 6 decimals). Run the returned calls[] in order (approve, then swap). tokenIn/tokenOut accept a known symbol (USDC, USDT, EURC, WUSDC, cirBTC, WETH) or a 0x address. |
| arcade_swap_finalizeB | Permit2 step 2: after signing the typedData from arcade_swap (Circle sign/typedData), inject the signature and get the execute() call. Pass the same swap params plus the echoed permit and the signature. |
| arcade_launchpadA | Build bonding-curve buy/sell or create-token descriptors on Arc. action='buy' {token, amountUsdcIn}; action='sell' {token, tokensIn}; action='create' {name, symbol, metadataURI?, mode?}. amountUsdcIn/tokensIn are RAW units (USDC 6 decimals, launch tokens 18). Run the returned calls[] in order (approve, then action). token must be a 0x address (launchpad tokens are not symbol-addressable). |
| arcade_multiswapA | Build a basket-converge swap (Arcade aggregator): many input tokens into one output token in a single settlement on Arc. inputs amounts are RAW token units. tokenOut accepts a symbol or 0x address. Run the returned calls[] in order (one approve per input, then swapToSingle). |

Scored across 8 tools
Each tool serves a clearly distinct purpose: launchpad create/trade, markets listing, multiswap, portfolio balances, quoting, single swap, swap finalization, and trending. No two tools overlap; even swap and swap_finalize are sequential steps with different roles.
All tools follow the 'arcade_<noun>' pattern using snake_case. Names are descriptive and consistent, with variations only in compound words (multiswap, swap_finalize) that remain predictable.
With 8 tools, the server is well-scoped for a DeFi trading platform, covering quoting, swaps, launchpad, portfolio, and market data without excess or deficiency.
The tool set covers core operations: quotes, single and multi-asset swaps, launchpad creation/trading, portfolio balances, and market/trending information. No obvious operational gaps for the intended domain.
