Security Considerations
Important Security Notes:
Private Keys: Never commit your
AGENT_SECRET_KEYto version controlEnvironment Variables: Use secure secret management for production
API Access: Limit MCP server access to trusted AI agents
Testnet First: Always test on Solana Devnet/Testnet before mainnet operations
Troubleshooting
Build Errors
Connection Issues
Verify RPC URLs are accessible
Check network environment (DEVNET vs TESTNET)
Ensure correct network configuration
Signing Failures
Verify
AGENT_SECRET_KEYis correctly formatted (base58)Check private key has required permissions
Ensure sufficient balance for transaction fees
