• create_automation: Set up new automation jobs

• list_automations: View all automation jobs

• get_automation_status: Check job status and history

• pause_automation / resume_automation: Control job execution

• cancel_automation: Permanently stop jobs

🎲 VRF (Verifiable Random Function)

Generate provably fair random numbers for gaming and other applications:

• request_random_words: Request verifiable random numbers

• get_random_result: Retrieve fulfilled random numbers

• verify_randomness: Verify cryptographic proofs

• get_vrf_config: Get network VRF settings

• estimate_vrf_cost: Calculate randomness costs

🌉 CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability)

Enable secure cross-chain communication and token transfers:

• send_cross_chain_message: Send messages between chains

• transfer_tokens_cross_chain: Bridge tokens across networks

• get_message_status: Track delivery status

• list_supported_networks: View CCIP-enabled networks

• estimate_ccip_fees: Calculate cross-chain costs

🛡️ Proof of Reserve

Error Handling

All tools return structured responses with error handling:

Common error scenarios:

• Network Issues: Connectivity problems or invalid networks

• Invalid Parameters: Malformed addresses or unsupported pairs

• Rate Limiting: API quota exceeded

• Insufficient Funds: Lack of LINK or ETH for operations

Supported Trading Pairs

Crypto Assets

• Major Cryptocurrencies: BTC/USD, ETH/USD, LINK/USD

• Altcoins: ADA/USD, DOT/USD, MATIC/USD

• Stablecoins: USDC/USD, USDT/USD, DAI/USD

Traditional Assets

• Forex: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, JPY/USD

• Commodities: XAU/USD (Gold), XAG/USD (Silver)

• Indices: SPX/USD, FTSE/USD

Development & Testing

Local Development

Testing with Testnets

Use Sepolia testnet for safe testing:

Mock Data

The server includes realistic mock data for development and testing without consuming actual resources.

Rate Limits & Costs

Free Tier

• Data Feeds: 100 requests/hour

• Network Info: Unlimited

• Historical Data: Limited to 24 hours

Premium Features

• Functions: Requires LINK subscription

• VRF: ~0.25 LINK per request

• CCIP: Variable based on message size and networks

• Automation: Gas costs + small premium

Security Considerations

• API Keys: Store securely, never expose in client-side code

• Private Keys: Not required - server only reads blockchain data

• Rate Limiting: Implement client-side rate limiting for production

• Validation: All inputs are validated and sanitized

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"No feed found for pair"

• Check spelling and format (e.g., "ETH/USD" not "eth/usd")

• Verify network supports the trading pair

• Use list_available_feeds to see supported pairs

"Unsupported network"

• Check network name spelling

• Use get_vrf_config or similar tools to see supported networks

• Add custom network configuration if needed

"Request timeout"

• Check network connectivity

• Verify RPC endpoint is responsive

• Try different network or wait and retry

"Invalid address format"

• Ensure addresses are valid Ethereum format (0x...)

• Use checksummed addresses when possible

• Verify address corresponds to correct network

Performance Optimization

• Batch Requests: Use batch tools for multiple operations

• Caching: Cache frequently accessed data locally

• Network Selection: Use faster networks for non-critical operations
