WHAT IT DOES

What get_subnet_burn does on metagraphed — Bittensor subnet operational registry

AI agents call get_subnet_burn 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
`netuid`	integer	Yes	Subnet id (netuid), 0-65535. 0 is the root subnet, which is special: it has no AMM pool and is emission-ineligible.
`context`	string	—	Optional: 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

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
