How to debug smart contract calls with your AI

Connect your agent to the ZetaChain Explorer API. Once linked, your AI can pull transaction logs and contract ABIs to trace execution errors.

Short answer

How can I use AI to debug smart contract calls?

Your agent pulls internal transaction data and contract ABIs from the ZetaChain blockchain to find the source of a revert. It compares the expected logic against the actual event logs to pinpoint the failure. You'll get a clear explanation of the error state.

Debugging outcomes.

Where your errors land.

The AI turns raw blockchain data into a clear diagnosis.

LOG ANALYSIS

Identify failed calls

The AI scans event logs to see which function call triggered the error. You get the specific reason for the revert.

ABI INSPECTION

Decode contract data

Your agent pulls the contract ABI to interpret hex data. This turns raw input into readable function arguments.

TRACE PATHS

Map internal calls

The AI follows the chain of internal transactions. It finds where a sub-call failed within a complex interaction.

HUMAN REVIEW

Verify the fix

The AI presents the error and the logic gap. You decide how to adjust your contract code or transaction parameters.

The workflow

What your AI does when a transaction hash arrives.

The AI moves from raw data retrieval to logical error detection.

  1. Fetch transaction details

    The AI pulls the primary transaction data to see the status and the sender.

    get_transaction_internal

  2. Inspect contract logic

    It retrieves the ABI to understand how the contract is supposed to behave.

    get_smart_contract

  3. Analyze event logs

    The AI looks at the emitted logs to find traces of the failed execution.

    get_transaction_logs

  4. Diagnose the error

    The agent compares the ABI, the internal calls, and the logs to explain the failure.

  • Analyze this transaction hash and tell me why it reverted: 0xabc123...

  • Get the ABI for contract 0xdef456 and explain the parameters for the transfer function.

  • Look at the logs for transaction 0x789ghi and find the internal call that failed.

  • Compare the contract ABI for 0x123abc with the transaction logs for 0x456def to find the mismatch.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the smart contract for me?

    No. The AI identifies the error and explains the logic flaw, but you must manually update and redeploy your contract.

  • 02

    Can the AI execute transactions on the blockchain?

    No. This MCP is read-only. It can inspect data and logs, but it cannot send transactions or change state.

  • 03

    Does the AI need my private keys?

    No. The AI only needs the transaction hash or contract address to read public data from the explorer.

  • 04

    Can it debug transactions on other chains?

    No. This connector is specifically built for the ZetaChain Explorer API.

  • 05

    Can the AI delete transaction history?

    No. The AI only reads data from the blockchain; it has no ability to delete or modify any on-chain information.
