    Why it is in this group

    • The name "send_raw_transaction" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
    • The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Broadcast a signed raw transaction to a specified blockchain network via eth_sendRawTransaction. Requires the 'x-api-key' or 'Authorization: Bearer <key>' HTTP header in your MCP client configuration for full access, or uses the keyless public endpoint if permitted on the chain (keys must not be passed in tool parameters or chat). Returns the transaction hash or JSON-RPC error.

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Calculate projected daily and billing cycle Compute Units (CU) and USD costs for planned call volumes across one or more methods, factoring in method weights and free credit allowances from /v1/plans. Available without an API key. Estimates the API key count for planned traffic under the free-account `key_defaults` (free new-key default CU/s); the result also echoes `paid_key_minimums` (the paid-account floor, not a cap: the first paid top-up raises each key to at least this value and higher custom limits are kept, and a key's actual limits come from the console Keys list). Cost and quota assumptions are for free-tier accounts. Use this tool for volume budget calculations and capacity planning. For looking up raw system pricing tables, use get_pricing instead. For checking whether a single method is supported on a specific chain, use get_method_info instead. Accepts 'lines' array of {method, calls_per_day} or single 'method' and 'calls_per_day'.

      annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "rpc_call" says "call": a word for a change.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Execute a read-only JSON-RPC 2.0 method on a specified blockchain network using your BlockVectra API key, or via the keyless public endpoint if available on the chain. Chain slugs look like 'base_mainnet'; take them from list_chains. Without a key the call goes to the keyless endpoint `/v1/{chain}/public` (the chain's `public.url` in list_chains), which only serves the methods listed in that chain's `public.methods`. Write methods (such as 'eth_sendRawTransaction') are not supported in rpc_call; use 'send_raw_transaction' instead. Consult the Ethereum JSON-RPC specification (https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/apis/json-rpc/) and the BlockVectra method reference (https://docs.blockvectra.com/en/api/json-rpc/methods/). With a key, set the 'x-api-key' or 'Authorization: Bearer <key>' HTTP header in your MCP client configuration for full access (keys must not be passed in tool parameters or chat). Returns the raw JSON-RPC response from the server.

    • The name "data_api_get" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Query the BlockVectra Data API for a specified chain and path using your BlockVectra API key. For endpoint schemas and parameter specifications, see the OpenAPI contract at https://docs.blockvectra.com/openapi/data.yaml. Requires the 'x-api-key' or 'Authorization: Bearer <key>' HTTP header in your MCP client configuration (keys must not be passed in tool parameters or chat). Returns the HTTP status and JSON response body.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "explain_error" says "explain": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Lookup error code, reason, or HTTP status in the official error reference catalog. Returns meaning, billing implications (whether the call was billed), retryability, retry delay, recommended agent action, and documentation URL.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get the API key's own balance, Compute Units (CU), rate limits, and key parameters from GET /v1/account using your BlockVectra API key. Free and unbilled. Requires the 'x-api-key' or 'Authorization: Bearer <key>' HTTP header in your MCP client configuration (never pass keys in tool parameters or chat). Returns the account's key_id, plan, balance_units, balance_cu, balance_as_of_age_ms, and key limits.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Requires an API key. Get your account's dedicated on-chain deposit address and open networks to top up balance; only transfer to the listed networks and tokens.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_method_info" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Inspect a single method's chain-by-chain availability, Compute Unit (CU) weight, price per million calls, and documentation link. Check JSON-RPC method policy and Data API dataset coverage separately. JSON-RPC follows methods.allow and methods.deny from /v1/chains. Data API coverage follows data_features in GET /v1/status, with data enabled in /v1/chains. Pricing comes from /v1/plans. For the full system-wide pricing schedule and rate card, use get_pricing instead. For calculating projected bills for expected call volumes across methods, use estimate_usage instead.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • get_pricingLive prices and plan limits from `GET /v1/plans`.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_pricing" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Live prices and plan limits from `GET /v1/plans`. Use before estimating cost or when asked about free credits, rate limits or per-method prices. Units: 1 billing unit = `pricing.cu_per_unit` CU; 1 USD buys `pricing.units_per_usd` units. `method_weights` includes JSON-RPC and Data API CU per call, `push.log` / `push.native_transfer` / `push.token_transfer` per delivered data event, `push.history` per successful history request and `push.address_day` per billable address-day; resolve a method by exact match, then the longest prefix rule ending in `*`, then the `*` row (JSON-RPC only; Data API and push operations have no default). `free.*` values are in billing units; `key_defaults` are the free-account new-key default CU/s and burst CU; `paid_key_minimums` (when present, otherwise null or absent) are the paid-account per-key lower bounds in CU/s and burst CU — a floor, not a cap, and not any key's actual value (the first paid top-up raises each key to at least this floor and higher custom limits are kept; actual limits are per key in the console). `promo.ends_at` is a sign-up coverage cutoff, not the end of the offer. For a single method's chain support and documentation use get_method_info instead; for projecting cycle costs use estimate_usage instead.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • get_statusLive operational status and network health from `GET /v1/status`.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_status" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Live operational status and network health from `GET /v1/status`. Confirm chain `status` is 'ok' before calling methods; see `list_chains` for static chain capabilities and method policies. For Data API, `data_status` can be 'ok', 'syncing' (queryable and billed normally, but indexing is lagging behind latest block time), or 'unavailable'.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get instructions and endpoints for obtaining a BlockVectra API key via preferred programmatic SIWE sign-up or browser handoff, plus authentication header and URL formats for JSON-RPC and Data API.

  • list_chainsFetch supported blockchain networks and static parameters from `GET /v1/chains`.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_chains" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch supported blockchain networks and static parameters from `GET /v1/chains`. `methods.allow` and `methods.deny` support wildcard patterns where `deny` takes precedence over `allow`. `state_window_blocks` indicates the historical state window in blocks for state queries (null when full history is available); `max_logs_block_range` limits `eth_getLogs`: the range is inclusive, so `toBlock - fromBlock + 1` must not exceed it, otherwise the call fails with `logs_range_too_large`. `public` describes the keyless endpoint: `public.url` serves only the methods in `public.methods`, and `public.history_blocks` is how far back a block reference may reach on that endpoint (it does not add methods). Pass `chain` (a slug such as `base_mainnet`) to return only that chain.

    • The name "read_doc" says "read": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read the raw Markdown content of a documentation page from /md/{lang}/{path}.md. Path must be an internal relative path (e.g. 'quickstart', 'guides/ai-agents', 'api/json-rpc', 'chains').

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_docs" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find documentation by topic or task keywords when the page path is unknown. Searches page titles, navigation titles, relative paths, and page summaries, returning titles, relative paths, and summaries. Read a result with read_doc using its path and the same lang; use read_doc directly for a known path or list_docs to browse the documentation catalog. Omit lang for English; limit is 1-20 (default 5). If no results match, try broader keywords or browse list_docs. Available without an API key.
