WHAT IT DOES

What get_account_parents does on metagraphed — Bittensor subnet operational registry

AI agents call get_account_parents to retrieve information from metagraphed — Bittensor subnet operational registry 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
`ss58`	string	Yes	An SS58 account address (47-48 base58 characters). Coldkey or hotkey depending on the tool — see the tool description for which this expects.
`context`	string	Yes	The user's goal, briefly. Analytics only; does not affect the result.
`network`	string	—	Which Bittensor chain to read: `finney` is mainnet (the default when omitted), `test` is testnet. They are separate chains — a netuid on one is unrelated to the
`llm_model`	string	—	Your model ID if known; omit otherwise. Analytics only.
`conversation_id`	string	—	Reuse the conversation_id returned by this server; omit on the first call. Analytics only.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
