# grimoire-aave

Pulls public Aave V3 market data through the Grimoire CLI: protocol health, chain listings, market and reserve metadata. Handy when an agent needs strategy inputs.

## What it does

The skill wraps `grimoire venue aave` commands and returns JSON or a table. You get a protocol health check, the list of supported chains, markets on a chain, a single market, a single reserve, and reserves with filters by market or asset. The `reserves-snapshot` command builds a `params:` block for a spell; it is meant for agents, and interactive mode suppresses its output.

Run `grimoire venue doctor --adapter aave --chain 1 --rpc-url <rpc> --json` first, as the README advises. No working RPC URL means the network calls fail, so skipping that check costs you time. Four ways to invoke it exist: the installed `grimoire`, `npx -y @grimoirelabs/cli`, a repo-local `bun run packages/cli/src/index.ts`, or the `grimoire-aave` binary from `@grimoirelabs/venues`.

Every endpoint is read-only. In automation `--format json` works better; keep the table for quick manual checks. One caveat: Aave V3 actions in spells do not support runtime constraints such as `max_slippage` or `min_output` yet, and the adapter handles approvals and amount conversion for you. Amount format differs by action — supply and borrow take a human-readable value, withdraw and repay take a raw number inside an `exact` wrapper.

## When to use it
- check Aave protocol health before a trade
- list chains where Aave is deployed
- fetch market metadata by address
