get_sync_status

Read-onlyIdempotent

Indexer freshness for one chain: freshness_seconds (the age of the newest indexed transfer; null when it could not be read for this answer), the indexer's head and finalized blocks, its safe block and its lag in blocks (lag_blocks = head_block - last_indexed_block). Use it before trusting how recent an address answer is, or to tell an empty feed from a stalled indexer. Not for how fresh the OFAC list is: get_sanctions_status. Every address verdict already carries freshness_seconds, so call this only for the block numbers or for a chain you have not asked about yet. On Solana (chain -1) safe_block is the finalized slot, and lag_blocks is near 0 by construction and never negative, so it is not a freshness signal there: read freshness_seconds. On the EVM chains and Tron a negative lag_blocks means the node's head went back. chain is the only parameter; omit it for Base. Light read, never waits for a slot. No auth; 1200 requests/min shared by all tools.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
chainNoChain, in any of four spellings: the id (8453 Base — default, 1 Ethereum, 10 Optimism, 42161 Arbitrum, 56 BNB Chain, 728126428 Tron, -1 Solana), the same id as a string, the network slug (base, ethereum, optimism, arbitrum, bnb-chain, tron, solana) or its CAIP-2 id (eip155:1, solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp). Surrounding whitespace, a leading + and leading zeros are ignored, a JSON number counts by its value (1.0 is 1), slugs and CAIP-2 ids match in any letter case, and an empty, blank or null chain is no chain at all. Anything else (hex, a decimal fraction, a zero-padded CAIP-2 reference) is refused, and so is a network this scanner knows but does not index. chain_id in the answer says which chain it is about

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations cover the safety profile, and the description layers on real behavioral context: null freshness when unreadable, lag_blocks formula, negative lag meaning the node head regressed, Solana's degenerate lag semantics, 'never waits for a slot', no auth, and a 1200 req/min shared rate limit.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the purpose and key return fields, and nearly every clause carries distinct information. It is dense and slightly long due to the Solana and lag caveats, but those caveats prevent misreading, so the length is largely earned.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description carries the full burden and does so: it names each returned field, explains nullability and the lag formula, and covers auth, rate limits, and chain-specific semantics. Nothing needed to call it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the schema already documents every accepted spelling and the Base default, so the description's 'chain is the only parameter; omit it for Base' largely restates structured data. Baseline 3 is appropriate; the description adds no syntax beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Opens with a specific verb+resource ('Indexer freshness for one chain') and enumerates exactly what is returned (freshness_seconds, head/finalized blocks, safe block, lag_blocks). It explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling get_sanctions_status and clarifies scope against address answers.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives explicit when-to-use ('before trusting how recent an address answer is, or to tell an empty feed from a stalled indexer'), when-not-to ('Not for how fresh the OFAC list is: get_sanctions_status'), and even a de-prioritization rule ('call this only for the block numbers or for a chain you have not asked about yet').

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
