Response envelope
Every tool returns the same envelope:result— the tool-specific payload. Raw API responses appear unmodified underresult.raw.agentHints— the next safe step, as plain strings. Follow them.docs— links into this documentation relevant to the result.warnings— user-facing caveats (for example, the sign-externally reminder on every built transaction).
isError: true and result.error.{type, message}. Validation failures and documented upstream errors surface their errorType and details; unexpected failures stay generic.
Quoting and building
velora_get_quote
Get a Velora quote. Delta, Market, or both modes via the unified quote endpoint.
Returns
{ modeRequested, responseType, raw } where responseType is "delta", "market", or "unknown" and raw is the upstream payload, preserved unchanged.
Agent rules:
- Branch on
responseType, never on what you requested.mode=ALLreturns either a Delta or a Market response, never both. - A Delta quote is completed through the Delta path (
POST /v2/delta/orders/build, sign externally,POST /v2/delta/orders) — not throughvelora_build_transaction. The quote’sagentHintsrepeat these steps. - Preserve the
deltapayload and itshmacexactly. Never normalize, reconstruct, or mutate it. - Under
mode=ALL, a Delta pricing failure falls back to Market and surfaces a structuredfallbackReasoninwarnings.
velora_build_transaction
Build an unsigned Market swap transaction from a quote’spriceRoute. Market only.
Returns
result.raw with the unsigned transaction fields: from, to (the Augustus v6.2 router), value, data, gas pricing, and chainId.
Agent rules:
- The transaction is never signed here. Every response carries the warning “Review and sign externally with the user’s wallet.”
- Delta-shaped input (anything containing
delta,orderType, oralternativeskeys) is rejected with an error pointing to the Delta build → sign → submit path.
Agent guidance
These three tools are deterministic, rule-based logic. They make no network calls and involve no model, so the same input always produces the same answer.velora_decide_execution_route
Decide whether a trading intent should use Delta, Market, ALL, or none of the quote modes. Call it beforevelora_get_quote when the mode is unclear.
Returns
{ recommendedMode, reasoning } where recommendedMode is "DELTA", "MARKET", "ALL", or "NONE".
Rule precedence (first match wins): OTC intent → NONE (it’s the AugustusRFQ maker/taker flow, not a quote mode) · MEV protection → DELTA · Crosschain → DELTA · Limit Orders → DELTA · TWAP or DCA → DELTA · explicit Market → MARKET · explicit Delta → DELTA · best-execution language → ALL · default → ALL.
velora_explain_quote
Classify a raw quote response and return the safe completion path. Never mutates the payload.
Returns
{ responseType, summary, fallbackReason }. A top-level delta key classifies as "delta", a top-level market key as "market", anything else as "unknown". fallbackReason ({ errorType, details }) appears when Delta pricing was skipped under mode=ALL.
velora_validate_agent_plan
Check a free-form plan against the mistakes agents actually make with Velora, before any of them execute.
Returns
{ issues }, each issue carrying severity ("info", "warning", or "critical"), message, and fix.
Checks include: a network key anywhere in the plan (must be chainId), MEV intent with a non-Delta mode, Crosschain with mode=MARKET, Limit Orders or TWAP treated as RFQ, and any signing, private-key, or Delta-payload-mutation step (critical — the server never signs).
Market data
velora_get_supported_chains
List the EVM chains Velora supports. No parameters. Returnsresult.raw.chains as { chainId, name } pairs with source: "server-known": Ethereum (1), Optimism (10), BNB Chain (56), Gnosis (100), Unichain (130), Polygon (137), Sonic (146), Base (8453), Arbitrum (42161), Avalanche (43114).
This is a server-known list, not a live API response, and may lag actual support. Confirm a specific chain with velora_get_tokens; do not assume every EVM chain is supported.
velora_get_tokens
List the tokens Velora can route on a chain. Use it to resolve token addresses and decimals before quoting instead of inventing them.
Returns
result.raw.tokens as { symbol, address, decimals, img, network } entries.
Documentation
velora_search_docs
Search Velora’s canonical documentation. Use it before guessing Velora behavior.
Returns search results as
{ title, url, resourceUri, snippet }.
velora_get_docs_page
Fetch a single docs page as markdown by its slug.
Returns
{ slug, content }.
