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 (0β10) |
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.

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% GovernanceAsset 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 β time-based safety (>2 years β 9/10)
- Audit Density β number and quality of audits
- Dependency Risk β multiplicative penalties for risky dependencies
- Incident Penalty β 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 | 8.0β10.0 | Institutional-grade β mature code, multiple audits, safe governance |
| Core | 5.0β7.9 | Moderate safety β audited but newer or flexible governance |
| Edge | 0.0β4.9 | Higher risk β requires careful due diligence |
