Get address info

get_address_info

Retrieve balance, type (account or contract), and metadata for any address on a specified blockchain. Use this to identify whether an address is an account or contract.

Instructions

Get balance, type (account vs contract), and metadata for an address on a chain. Use this first when asked about a wallet or contract.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
chainYesChain name or numeric chain ID, e.g. "ethereum" or "1". Use get_chains_list to discover supported chains.
addressYesThe 0x-prefixed address (account or contract) to look up.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It states what the tool returns but doesn't discuss read-only nature, error handling, or rate limits. Adequate for a simple lookup, but could be more transparent.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two concise sentences: first states purpose and outputs, second gives usage guidance. Front-loaded with no waste.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the output schema exists and the tool is simple, the description covers purpose, usage, and chain discovery. No obvious gaps.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with good descriptions. Description adds value by referencing get_chains_list for chain discovery and specifying '0x-prefixed address', going beyond 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?

Description clearly states the tool gets balance, type, and metadata for an address on a chain, and distinguishes it from siblings by recommending it as the first tool for wallet/contract queries.

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?

Explicitly advises 'Use this first when asked about a wallet or contract', providing clear context. Lacks explicit mention of when not to use it, but the guidance is actionable.

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