View recent blockchain activity

portal_get_recent_activity
Read-only

Fetch a chronological recent-activity feed for EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, or Hyperliquid networks. Use it to see what happened on a network in a given timeframe, with paging and filters for incident triage.

Instructions

Get a simple recent-activity feed across EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, or Hyperliquid with chronological paging and investigation pivots.

COMMON USER ASKS:

  • Recent activity on Base

  • Recent Hyperliquid fills

FIRST CHOICE FOR:

  • recent activity on any supported network without manual block math

  • questions like "what has been happening on Base lately?"

  • first-pass incident triage when the user asks what happened recently on a network

WHEN TO USE:

  • You want a quick recent-activity feed for a network.

  • You want to ask what has been happening lately on a network and see the newest activity first.

  • You want the simplest starting point before reaching for raw VM-specific query tools.

  • You are investigating an incident and need a bounded, recent evidence timeline before narrowing to wallets, transfers, logs, or fills.

DON'T USE:

  • You need raw logs, instructions, or chain-specific fields that only raw query tools return.

  • You want a chart over time rather than a recent feed.

EXAMPLES:

  • Recent activity on Base: {"network":"base-mainnet","timeframe":"1h","limit":10}

  • Recent Hyperliquid fills: {"network":"hyperliquid-fills","timeframe":"1h","limit":10}

  3. First observedv0.7.9

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds behavioral detail beyond that: chronological paging, 'newest activity first', 'bounded recent evidence timeline', and investigation pivots. No contradiction exists.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is well-structured with clear sections and a strong front-loaded summary. There is son.what overlap between COMMON USER ASKS, FIRST CHOICE FOR, and WHEN TO USE, but each section still adds usable direction and the extra length is justified by the tool's broad cross-network scope.

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 tool has an output schema, full parameter coverage, and safety annotations, the description is complete. It covers use caxses, exclusions, examples, paging behavior, and how to decide when to use this tool instead of raw query tools. Nothing essential is missing for correct invocation.

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%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds value through concrete exaxamples such as network values like 'base-mainnet' and 'hyperliquid-fils' and realistic parameter combos. These clarify exact accepted network identifiers beyond the schema's brief description.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Get a simple recent-activity feed across EVM, Solana, Bitcoain, or Hyperliquid.' It clearly distinguishes itself from raw VM-specific query tools by positioning itself as a first-pass feed and investigation starting point. This makes its role unambiguous against the large sibling list.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description explicitly provides FIRST CHOICE FOR, WHEN TO USE, and DON'T USE sections. It tells the agent when to reach for this tool, when not to, and points generally to raw query tools for logs/chain-specific fields and chart tools for time-series needs.

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