Implementation Reference

  • The getBalanceHandler function implements the core logic for the 'helius_get_balance' tool. It validates the public key, fetches the balance using the Helius connection, and formats the response.
    export const getBalanceHandler = async (input: GetBalanceInput): Promise<ToolResultSchema> => {
      try {
        // Validate the public key is a valid format
        const publicKey = validatePublicKey(input.publicKey);
        if (!(publicKey instanceof PublicKey)) {
          return publicKey;
        }
    
        // Remove the test mode check since we want to use the mock implementation
        
        const balance = await (helius as any as Helius).connection.getBalance(publicKey, input.commitment);
        return createSuccessResponse(`Balance: ${balance} lamports (${balance / LAMPORTS_PER_SOL} SOL)`);
      } catch (error) {
        return createErrorResponse(`Error getting balance: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`);
      }
    }
