`network`	string	Network slug (ethereum, base, arbitrum)
`address`	string	Vault contract address (0x...)

`get_vault_risk_breakdown`

Detailed breakdown of a vault's three risk vectors with sub-metrics: asset quality, platform code maturity, and governance controls. Returns dimension-level scores, caps, hard-fail flags, and overrides.

Parameter	Type	Description
`network`	string	Network slug
`address`	string	Vault contract address

`compare_vaults`

Side-by-side comparison of 2–3 vaults on TVL, APR, risk score, risk tier, and audit status.

Parameter	Type	Description
`vaults`	array	Array of 2–3 objects with `network` and `address`

`find_safest_vaults`

`asset`	string	Filter by asset symbol
`chain`	string	Filter by chain name
`minTvl`	number	Minimum TVL in USD

`get_protocol_info`

Protocol details including TVL, vault count, versions, auditors, bug bounties, and security incidents.

Parameter	Type	Description
`protocolId`	string	Protocol ID (morpho, aave-v3, yearn-v3, beefy, spark)

`get_curator_info`

Curator details including managed vaults, TVL, chain distribution, and performance metrics.

Parameter	Type	Description
`curatorId`	string	Curator ID

`get_market_overview`

High-level DeFi vault market statistics: total TVL, vault count, risk distribution, and TVL by protocol. No parameters required.

`explain_risk_score`

Explain what a specific risk score means, including the tier, calculation method, and thresholds.

Parameter	Type	Description
`score`	number	Risk score (0–10)

`list_vaults_with_incidents`

List all vaults that had a recent critical incident (last 365 days). Sorted by TVL descending, then by recency. No parameters required.

Resources

URI	Description
`philidor://methodology`	The Vector Risk Framework v4.1 documentation
`philidor://supported-chains`	Supported blockchain networks with vault counts
`philidor://supported-protocols`	Supported DeFi protocols with TVL data

Prompts

Prompt	Description
`vault_due_diligence`	Comprehensive due diligence report for a vault
`portfolio_risk_assessment`	Portfolio-level risk analysis across positions
`defi_yield_comparison`	Yield comparison with risk-adjusted analysis

Example Prompts

Once connected, try asking your AI assistant:

Discovery

"Find the safest USDC vaults with at least $10M TVL"

"What Morpho vaults are available on Base?"

"Show me the DeFi market overview"

Analysis

"Run due diligence on the Steakhouse USDC vault on Ethereum"

"Compare the top 3 USDC vaults by risk score"

"What's the risk breakdown for this vault: ethereum/0x..."

Portfolio

"Assess my portfolio: 50% in Morpho Steakhouse USDC, 30% in Aave USDC, 20% in Yearn USDC"

"Which protocols have had security incidents?"

"What does a risk score of 8.5 mean?"

Risk Scoring

Philidor uses the Vector Risk Framework v4.1 to decompose vault risk into three measurable vectors:

Final Score = 40% Asset + 40% Platform + 20% Governance

Asset Composition (40%)

Quality of underlying collateral. Blue-chip assets (ETH, USDC) score highest. Factors include oracle reliability, liquidity depth, and peg stability.

Platform Code (40%)

Code maturity measured by:

Lindy Score — time-based safety (>2 years ≈ 9/10)
Audit Density — number and quality of audits
Dependency Risk — multiplicative penalties for risky dependencies
Incident Penalty — caps score after security incidents

Governance (20%)

Exit window for users:

Control	Score
Immutable contract	10/10
7+ day timelock	9/10
No timelock	1/10

Risk Tiers

Tier	Score	Meaning
Prime	8.0–10.0	Institutional-grade — mature code, multiple audits, safe governance
Core	5.0–7.9	Moderate safety — audited but newer or flexible governance
Edge	0.0–4.9	Higher risk — requires careful due diligence
