Tool Map

ToolInputsBest for
get_blockslotInspecting a specific block, its producer, timestamps, and transaction rows.
get_transactionsignatureDebugging a single transaction, including accounts, instructions, and events.
get_accountaddressLooking up account metadata, balance, owner, and flags.
list_account_transactionsaddress, optional pageSize, optional pageTokenWalking an account’s recent history without fetching each tx manually.
list_recent_blocksoptional limitRecent network activity and slot-level monitoring.
list_recent_transactionsoptional limitRecent chain-wide transaction activity.
searchqueryResolving whether an unknown value is a slot, transaction signature, or account address.
get_program_abiprogramFetching the on-chain ABI that explorer tooling uses for reflection.

​
Shared Input Notes

  • Account addresses should use thrufmt addresses like ta...
  • Transaction signatures should use thrufmt signatures like ts...
  • Block slots are non-negative integers
  • list_recent_blocks and list_recent_transactions accept limit values from 1 to 50
  • list_account_transactions accepts pageSize values from 1 to 100

​
Returned Shape

Every tool returns explorer output in an LLM-oriented text format generated from the same underlying API response model. In practice, that means:
  • you get a natural-language summary
  • you get the structured data represented in a tool-friendly text format
  • the response is better for agent reasoning than HTML scraping

​
Tool Details

​
get_block

Use when you already know the slot and want block-level context. 
{ "slot": 12345 }
Best follow-up tools:
  • get_transaction for a specific signature found in the block
  • list_recent_blocks if you were only trying to inspect the latest chain activity

​
get_transaction

Use when you want the full execution picture for a known transaction signature. 
{ "signature": "ts..." }
This is usually the best tool for:
  • checking execution status
  • inspecting read/write accounts
  • inspecting instruction bytes
  • inspecting emitted events

​
get_account

Use when you need current account metadata by address. 
{ "address": "ta..." }
This is the fastest way to inspect:
  • owner
  • balance
  • flags like program / compressed / ephemeral
  • data size and sequence metadata

​
list_account_transactions

Use when one account is the center of the investigation and you need transaction history. 
{ "address": "ta...", "pageSize": 25 }
Use pageToken from a previous response when you need to continue pagination.

​
list_recent_blocks

Use when you need a quick view of recent slots. 
{ "limit": 10 }

​
list_recent_transactions

Use when you want a chain-wide recent transaction feed. 
{ "limit": 10 }
Use when you do not yet know whether a value is a slot, signature, or address. 
{ "query": "ta..." }
This is often the best first tool in an agent workflow because it routes ambiguous identifiers into the correct explorer entity.

​
get_program_abi

Use when you need the ABI currently published for a deployed program. 
{ "program": "ta..." }
This is especially useful when:
  • verifying that the deployed ABI matches the expected program seed
  • debugging reflection mismatches
  • inspecting event and instruction definitions without leaving the agent workflow
If the task is deployed-program debugging:
  1. search if the identifier is ambiguous
  2. get_transaction for a failing or surprising tx
  3. get_program_abi if the payload may be reflected against the wrong ABI
  4. get_account or list_account_transactions for account-level follow-up
If the task is recent network inspection:
  1. list_recent_blocks or list_recent_transactions
  2. get_block or get_transaction for the specific item worth inspecting
