Unlock Blockchain Analysis

__unlock_blockchain_analysis__
Full Description

Unlocks access to other MCP tools.

All tools remain locked with a "Session Not Initialized" error until this function is successfully called. Skipping this explicit initialization step will cause all subsequent tool calls to fail.

MANDATORY FOR AI AGENTS: The returned instructions contain ESSENTIAL rules that MUST govern ALL blockchain data interactions. Failure to integrate these rules will result in incorrect data retrieval, tool failures and invalid responses. Always apply these guidelines when planning queries, processing responses or recommending blockchain actions.

COMPREHENSIVE DATA SOURCES: Provides an extensive catalog of specialized blockchain endpoints to unlock sophisticated, multi-dimensional blockchain investigations across all supported networks.

Direct Api Call

direct_api_call
Full Description

Call a raw Blockscout API endpoint for advanced or chain-specific data.

Do not include query strings in `endpoint_path; pass all query parameters via query_params` to avoid double-encoding.

SUPPORTS PAGINATION: If response includes 'pagination' field, use the provided next_call to get additional pages.

Returns: ToolResponse[Any]: Must return ToolResponse[Any] (not ToolResponse[BaseModel]) because specialized handlers can return lists or other types that don't inherit from BaseModel. The dispatcher system supports flexible data structures.

Parameters (2 required, 2 optional)
Required
chain_idstring

The ID of the blockchain

endpoint_pathstring

The Blockscout API path to call (e.g., '/api/v2/stats'); do not include query strings.

Optional
cursor

The pagination cursor from a previous response to get the next page of results.

query_params

Optional query parameters forwarded to the Blockscout API.

Get Address By Ens Name

get_address_by_ens_name
Full Description

Useful for when you need to convert an ENS domain name (e.g. "blockscout.eth") to its corresponding Ethereum address.

Parameters (1 required)
Required

ENS domain name to resolve

Get Address Info

get_address_info
Full Description

Get comprehensive information about an address, including:

  • Address existence check
  • Native token (ETH) balance (provided as is, without adjusting by decimals)
  • First transaction details (block number and timestamp) for age calculation
  • ENS name association (if any)
  • Contract status (whether the address is a contract, whether it is verified)
  • Proxy contract information (if applicable): determines if a smart contract is a proxy contract (which forwards calls to implementation contracts), including proxy type and implementation addresses
  • Token details (if the contract is a token): name, symbol, decimals, total supply, etc.

Essential for address analysis, contract investigation, token research, and DeFi protocol analysis.

Parameters (2 required)
