AI agents call get_edu_balance to retrieve information from EDUCHAIN Agent Kit without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves wallet balance information, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. While it relates to financial assets (EDU tokens), it does not move money, create obligations, or perform any state-changing operations. It falls squarely into the Read category as a data retrieval function.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_edu_balance' and description 'Get the EDU balance of a wallet address' indicate a query operation that retrieves financial balance data without modifying or transferring funds.
