getTransactionDetails

Retrieve transaction details from Ethereum networks by providing a transaction hash. Specify network via provider name or RPC URL to access blockchain data.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`txHash`	Yes	The transaction hash to lookup
`provider`	No	Optional. Either a network name or custom RPC URL. Use getAllNetworks to see available networks and their details, or getNetwork to get info about a specific network. You can use any network name returned by these tools as a provider value.
`chainId`	No	Optional. The chain ID to use. If provided with a named network and they don't match, the RPC's chain ID will be used.

Implementation Reference

src/tools/core.ts:466-530 (handler)

The core handler function that implements getTransactionDetails tool logic. It fetches the transaction by hash using an ethers provider, handles a special test transaction hash with mock data, formats key transaction fields (converting BigInts to strings), fetches block timestamp if available, and returns formatted JSON details or an error response.

  async ({ txHash, provider, chainId }) => {
    try {
      // For test transaction hash, connect directly to mainnet
      const isTestTxHash = txHash === '0xf55aab5f0c8a48c6186e4db792486193d1a2eee25fc4baf507717cd87390689a';
      
      const selectedProvider = isTestTxHash ? 
        ethersService.getProvider('mainnet', 1) : // Force mainnet for the test tx hash
        (provider ? ethersService.getProvider(provider, chainId) : ethersService.provider);
        
      const tx = await selectedProvider.getTransaction(txHash);
      
      if (!tx) {
