Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that executes the provider_estimate_gas tool by calling estimateGas on the provider with the input transaction.
    export const estimateGasHandler = async (input: any): Promise<ToolResultSchema> => {
      try {
        if (!input.transaction) {
          return createErrorResponse("Transaction is required");
        }
    
        const provider = getProvider();
        if (!provider) {
          return createErrorResponse("Provider is required to estimate gas, please set the provider URL");
        }
        const gasEstimate = await provider.estimateGas(input.transaction);
    
        return createSuccessResponse(
        `Gas estimate retrieved successfully
          Gas estimate: ${gasEstimate.toString()}
        `);
      } catch (error) {
        return createErrorResponse(`Failed to estimate gas: ${(error as Error).message}`);
      }
    };
