Chain
Litecoin address summary
get_chain_address · Chain · 1 credit
Use this when the user asks about a Litecoin address balance or activity summary. Address summary (balance, counts). 1 credit base. Includes: stats (+1), recent_transactions (+2, reads address history — scan-window-gated on legacy fx_test_ keys only; live keys, paid and Free-live, are unclamped). For full paginated history use get_chain_address_transactions. If you cannot tell whether an identifier is a block, transaction, or address, use search_chain.

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
address | string | yes | Litecoin address to look up. Formats: bech32 (ltc1...), legacy base58 (L.../M...), or P2SH (3.../M...). Advisory only — the route validates authoritatively. |
chain | string — one of: litecoin | yes | Blockchain network. Currently litecoin. |
include | array of string — one of: recent_transactions, stats | no | Optional expansions. Each expansion adds credits. |

}Response
The outputSchema is the CLOSED model contract for structuredContent (top-level additionalProperties: false), answer-first fixed key order: source, tool, endpoint, request (echoed arguments), answer (authoritative result summary — answer from this and data), data (the complete result), included/included_digest (full expansion rows + a compact digest, when paid include expansions were served), units, answerable_fields, warnings, citations (complete visible citation array), usage (per-call cost truth), validation, and pagination (cursor/has_more/effective_limit/requested_limit). The single content block is a short plain-text answer card mirroring the same facts (header, Answer, Units, Warnings, Usage, Source). Errors return a plain-text error card and attach NO structuredContent. See How to cite ForceX MCP results.

}Notes
- Cost: 1 credit. Costs and tier limits match the wrapped Xtract REST endpoint — see
get_developer_limits. - Wrapped REST endpoint: /xtract/docs/reference/chain-address/ — the full parameter, response, and methodology reference.
- Data-retrieval tool: it never creates blockchain transactions, signs messages, publishes content, or changes third-party state (
openWorldHint=false,destructiveHint=false). Successful calls consume Xtract credits and record usage on your ForceX account, soreadOnlyHint=false.
