Trace Account Activity Flow

The `get_account` tool pulls detailed information for any given account. You can then use this context to run the `get_account_report` tool, which generates a full JSON report of all activity. Cascade handles linking these two steps together automatically.

Audit Contract Storage State

Need to know what's stored in a smart contract? Start by calling `list_contracts` to find the ID, then use `get_contract_storage` to pull its current or historical storage. This process allows your agent to map out complex data structures across different contracts.

Track Token Movement and Balances

Check how tokens move through the network by running `list_token_transfers`. To get a clear picture of ownership, follow up with `list_token_balances` for specific accounts. This MCP Server gives your agent all the data it needs to map token lifecycles.
