get_block_info

Retrieve block details such as timestamp, gas used, burnt fees, and transaction count from a blockchain. Optionally include transaction hashes for detailed analysis, useful for high-traffic chains.

Instructions

Get block information like timestamp, gas used, burnt fees, transaction count etc. Can optionally include the list of transaction hashes contained in the block. Transaction hashes are omitted by default; request them only when you truly need them, because on high-traffic chains the list may exhaust the context.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`chain_id`	Yes	The ID of the blockchain

`number_or_hash`	Yes	Block number or hash
