Get explorer URLs for account, asset, transaction, application or block
AI agents call getExplorerUrls to retrieve information from Algorand MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns publicly available explorer URLs—essentially read-only data lookups. It performs no state modification, execution, asset movement, or destructive actions. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius: even if an agent misuses this tool, it can only generate incorrect URLs or spam explorer link requests, causing no financial, operational, or data integrity harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getExplorerUrls' and description 'Get explorer URLs for account, asset, transaction, application or block' indicates retrieval of reference/navigation URLs from a public blockchain explorer with no side effects.
