get_address_from_private_key

Derive the EVM address from a given private key to identify the wallet. Returns the public address without storing or logging the private key.

Instructions

Get the EVM address derived from a private key

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
privateKeyYesPrivate key in hex format (with or without 0x prefix). SECURITY: This is used only for address derivation and is not stored. The private key will not be logged or displayed in chat history.
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It does not mention that this is a local, non-persistent derivation with no side effects, nor does it describe output format or error conditions. Only the param schema includes security notes, not the tool description itself.

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?

The description is a single, focused sentence with no redundant information. It front-loads the key purpose and omits unnecessary detail.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity and the schema's richness, the description is minimally adequate but lacks expected return value details (e.g., checksummed format) and side-effect clarity, especially without an output schema.

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% for the only parameter, and the schema provides detailed security context. The description adds no additional parameter meaning, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 specifies the action ('Get') and the resource ('EVM address derived from a private key'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like derive_address_from_mnemonic or validate_address. It is precise and unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage context (having a private key and needing the derived address) but provides no explicit when-to-use guidance, exclusions, or alternatives. It's adequate but relies on the agent to infer applicability.

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