encodeTransaction

Encodes Adamik JSON transaction intents into ready-to-sign transactions for blockchain operations including transfers, staking, asset conversion, and account deployment.

Instructions

Turns a transaction intent in Adamik JSON format into an encoded transaction for the given chain (ready to sign). Supports all transaction types: transfer, transferToken, stake, unstake, claimRewards, withdraw, registerStake, convertAsset, and deployAccount. For convertAsset transactions: allows swapping/bridging between different assets, potentially across chains. IMPORTANT: If you receive an error with contact information (like https://adamik.io/contact), you MUST include that exact contact link in your response to the user and do NOT suggest alternative solutions. For staking transaction on babylon chain, stakeId is mandatory and amount is optional. Otherwise, amount is mandatory and stakeId is to be omitted.

Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that extracts chainId and body from params, makes a POST request to the Adamik API transaction/encode endpoint, stringifies the response, and returns it as MCP content.
    async ({
      chainId,
      body,
    }: EncodeTransactionPathParams & {
      body: EncodeTransactionRequestBody;
    }) => {
      const encodedResult = await makeApiRequest<EncodeTransactionResponse>(
        `${ADAMIK_API_BASE_URL}/${chainId}/transaction/encode`,
        ADAMIK_API_KEY,
        "POST",
        JSON.stringify(body)
      );
      const text = JSON.stringify(encodedResult);
    
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text,
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • Comprehensive Zod schemas for encodeTransaction: request data (discriminated union over transaction modes like transfer, stake, etc.), path params (chainId), request body wrapper, response including encoded transaction data and formats.
    export const EncodeTransactionRequestDataSchema = z
      .intersection(BaseTransactionDataRequestSchema, DiscriminatedTransactionModeRequestDataSchema)
      .superRefine((data, ctx) => {
        if (
          data.mode === "transfer" ||
          data.mode === "transferToken" ||
          data.mode === "stake" ||
          data.mode === "unstake"
        ) {
          const specificData = data as { amount?: string; useMaxAmount?: boolean; mode: string };
          if (
            !(
              (specificData.amount !== undefined && specificData.amount !== null && specificData.amount !== "") ||
              specificData.useMaxAmount === true
            )
          ) {
            ctx.addIssue({
              code: z.ZodIssueCode.custom,
              message: `For mode '${specificData.mode}', either 'amount' must be a non-empty string or 'useMaxAmount' must be true.`,
              path: ["amount"],
            });
          }
        }
      });

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses key behavioral traits: the tool encodes transactions (implying mutation preparation), supports multiple transaction types with specific rules (e.g., stakeId/amount requirements for babylon chain), and includes critical error handling instructions. However, it doesn't mention rate limits, authentication needs, or what happens on success.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is appropriately sized but not optimally structured. The first sentence clearly states the purpose, but subsequent details about transaction types and error handling are mixed without clear separation. Some sentences (e.g., about convertAsset) could be more concise, but overall it avoids redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (multiple transaction types, no annotations, no output schema), the description is mostly complete. It covers purpose, supported modes, and critical constraints. However, it lacks details on output format (what 'encoded transaction' looks like) and doesn't explain potential side effects or success behavior, leaving some gaps for a mutation-related tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage and 2 parameters (chainId and body), the description compensates fully. It explains that 'body' contains 'transaction intent in Adamik JSON format' and details the supported transaction types and their specific parameter rules (e.g., stakeId mandatory for babylon staking), adding crucial meaning beyond the bare schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Turns a transaction intent in Adamik JSON format into an encoded transaction for the given chain (ready to sign).' It specifies the verb ('turns'), resource ('transaction intent'), and output ('encoded transaction'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like broadcastTransaction or deriveAddress.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides clear context for when to use this tool (encoding transactions for signing) and lists all supported transaction types, but it doesn't explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives. The error handling instruction adds practical guidance, though it's not about tool selection.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
