Analyze Solana activity

portal_solana_get_analytics
Read-only

Retrieve Solana network health metrics including throughput, fees, wallet activity, and top programs. Get an analytics snapshot for any timeframe to assess network performance.

Instructions

Get the big picture for Solana throughput, fees, wallet activity, and optional top-program usage.

COMMON USER ASKS:

  • Solana network snapshot

  • Include top programs

FIRST CHOICE FOR:

  • the big picture for Solana right now

WHEN TO USE:

  • You want the big picture for Solana right now.

  • You want a network health snapshot for Solana.

  • You want throughput, fee, success-rate, or top-program analytics rather than raw records.

DON'T USE:

  • You want chart buckets or raw transaction/instruction records.

EXAMPLES:

  • Solana network snapshot: {"network":"solana-mainnet","timeframe":"1h"}

  • Include top programs: {"network":"solana-mainnet","timeframe":"1h","include_programs":true}

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
modeNoExecution depth. Defaults to complete requested-window analysis; the optional fast value is only for explicitly bounded previews.deep
cursorNoContinuation cursor for paginating top_programs
networkNoNetwork name (default: solana-mainnet)solana-mainnet
timeframeNoTime range. Accepts compact durations like '15m' or natural phrases like 'past 30 minutes'. Optional; defaults to a 1h analysis window.
to_timestampNoEnding timestamp. Accepts Unix seconds, Unix milliseconds, ISO datetime, or relative input like "now".

  3. First observedv0.7.9

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safe read-only nature is covered. The description adds scope context about what analytics are included and excludes raw records, but does not add behavioral detail such as performance costs, pagination caveats, or response behavior. Schema descriptions carry the extra behavior notes like 'slower' for include_programs.

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 front-loaded content, using headings like COMMON USER ASKS and EXAMPLES to make it scannable. It is slightly repetitive in emphasizing 'big picture' and 'right now' across multiple sections, but the overall layout is efficient and purposeful.

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 tool with ​​10 optional parameters, rich schema descriptions, an output schema, and annotations, the description gives enough context for an agent to decide when to call it and how to form example requests. It covers common asks, when to use, when not to use, and includes concrete examples, so nothing critical is missin.

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. The description adds value beyond the schema by providing concrete example payloads and tying common user asks to parameter combinations, such as {'network':'solana-mainnet','timeframe':'1h','include_programs':true} for top-program usage. It does not explain every param, but the schema already does that thoroughly.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Get the big picture for Solana throughput, fees, wallet activity, and optional top-program usage.' It clearly establishes what the tool does and its scope, and the 'DON'T USE' note separates it from raw-record and chart-bucket tools.

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?

The description provides explicit WHEN TO USE and DON'T USE sections, including conditions like 'network health snapshot' and 'rather than raw records.' However, it does not explicitly name the alternative sibling tools (e.g., portal_solana_query_transactions or portal_solana_query_instructions), only the categories of tasks they handle.

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