💡 Examples

Note on Transactions: To send ALGO or create assets, you need either:

  • A configured account in .env with ALGORAND_ACCOUNT_MNEMONIC

  • Or provide the private key directly in the transaction parameters

For read-only operations (balance checks, asset info), only addresses are needed.

🏦 Create and Fund Account

// Generate new account { "tool": "generateAccount" } // Returns: address, privateKey, mnemonic // Check balance { "tool": "getAccountInfo", "params": { "address": "ALGORAND_ADDRESS_HERE" } } // Send payment with test account (automatic) { "tool": "sendPayment", "params": { "to": "RECIPIENT_ADDRESS", "amount": 10.5, "note": "Payment from test account" } } // Send payment with specific account { "tool": "sendPayment", "params": { "from": "SENDER_ADDRESS", "to": "RECIPIENT_ADDRESS", "amount": 10.5, "privateKey": "base64_encoded_private_key" } }

🪙 Create and Manage Assets

// Create fungible token { "tool": "createAsset", "params": { "from": "CREATOR_ADDRESS", "name": "My Token", "unitName": "MTK", "total": 1000000, "decimals": 6, "privateKey": "base64_encoded_private_key" } } // Get asset information by ID { "tool": "getAssetInfo", "params": { "assetId": 123456789 } } // Get asset by symbol (e.g., USDC) { "tool": "getAssetBySymbol", "params": { "symbol": "USDC" } } // List all available assets { "tool": "getAvailableAssets" }

🎨 NFT Operations

// Mint NFT { "tool": "mintNFT", "params": { "from": "CREATOR_ADDRESS", "name": "Algo Punk #001", "unitName": "APUNK", "url": "ipfs://QmXxx...", "privateKey": "base64_encoded_private_key", "metadataHash": "optional_metadata_hash" } } // Transfer NFT/Asset { "tool": "transferAsset", "params": { "assetId": 987654321, "from": "OWNER_ADDRESS", "to": "BUYER_ADDRESS", "privateKey": "base64_encoded_private_key" } }

🔍 Search and Analytics

// Search transactions by address { "tool": "searchTransactions", "params": { "address": "YOUR_ALGORAND_ADDRESS", "limit": 50 } } // Search transactions by amount range { "tool": "searchTransactions", "params": { "minAmount": 10, "maxAmount": 1000, "limit": 50 } } // Search asset transactions { "tool": "searchTransactions", "params": { "assetId": 31566704, "limit": 20 } } // Get network status { "tool": "getNetworkStatus" } // Get account history { "tool": "getAccountHistory", "params": { "address": "ALGORAND_ADDRESS", "limit": 100 } } // Get configured account info from environment { "tool": "getAccountInfo" // No params needed - uses env account } // Get asset balance for specific token { "tool": "getAssetBalance", "params": { "address": "ALGORAND_ADDRESS", "symbol": "USDC" } } // Get ALGO balance { "tool": "getAssetBalance", "params": { "address": "ALGORAND_ADDRESS", "assetId": 0 } } // Get explorer URLs for viewing on blockchain explorer { "tool": "getExplorerUrls", "params": { "type": "account", "id": "ALGORAND_ADDRESS" } }

🔐 Best Practices

// DO: Use environment variables const mnemonic = process.env.ALGORAND_ACCOUNT_MNEMONIC; // DON'T: Hardcode sensitive data const privateKey = "abc123..."; // Never do this! // DO: Validate addresses before operations if (!algosdk.isValidAddress(address)) { throw new Error("Invalid address"); } // DO: Use configured account for convenience // No need to pass privateKey for every transaction { "tool": "sendPayment", "params": { "to": "RECIPIENT", "amount": 1 // privateKey automatically used from env } }
