WHAT IT DOES

What get_erc20_transfers does on Tanod

AI agents call get_erc20_transfers to retrieve information from Tanod without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`chain`	string	Yes	ethereum, base or robinhood (Robinhood Chain, chain id 4663).
`limit`	integer	—	Most transfers to return, newest first (1-200).
`token`	object	—	Only transfers of this token contract. Omit for every token.
`address`	string	Yes	Wallet or contract whose ERC-20 transfers to list (0x + 40 hex).
`to_block`	object	—	Last block (inclusive). Default: the latest block.
`direction`	string	—	in (received), out (sent) or both (default).
`from_block`	object	—	First block (inclusive). Default: the last 1,000 blocks ending at to_block. The range is at most 2,000 blocks.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_erc20_transfers is rated Low
