eth_eoa_address

Derive an Ethereum address and public key from a private key using secp256k1. Returns the checksummed address and uncompressed public key without exposing the private key.

Instructions

Derive an EOA's Ethereum address and public key from its private key.

The public key is the curve point k*G, serialized uncompressed (0x04 || X || Y); the address is the last 20 bytes of keccak256(X || Y), EIP-55 checksummed. This is the externally-owned-account counterpart to eth_contract_address — it derives, it does not create an account. Returns {address, public_key}; the private key is never echoed back.

Example: eth_eoa_address( "0xac0974bec39a17e36ba4a6b4d238ff944bacb478cbed5efcae784d7bf4f2ff80") -> address="0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266".

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
private_keyYesA 32-byte secp256k1 private key as hex (0x prefix optional). Never echoed back in the result.
Behavior5/5

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

No annotations, but description fully explains behavior: derives address and public key, never echoes private key, returns specific fields, and details public key serialization.

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?

Concise, well-structured with explanation and example. Every sentence adds value.

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?

For a simple tool with 1 parameter and no output schema, description covers return format, derivation method, and example, making it complete.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and schema description already explains private_key parameter well. Description adds example but does not significantly enhance semantics 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?

Clearly states it derives an EOA's Ethereum address and public key from private key, and contrasts with sibling eth_contract_address.

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?

Mentions it is the counterpart to eth_contract_address and that it derives rather than creates an account, providing usage context. Includes an example.

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