What it does
Tools is an agent skill from austintgriffith/ethskills. Current Ethereum development tools, frameworks, libraries, RPCs, and block explorers. What actually works today for building on Ethereum. Includes tool discovery for AI agents — MCPs, abi.ninja, Foundry, Scaffold-ETH 2, Hardhat, and more. Use when setting up a dev environment, choosing tools, or when an agent needs to discover what's available.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Ethereum, Model Context Protocol and x402. The repository describes itself as: The missing knowledge between AI agents and production Ethereum.
When your agent uses it
- Setting up a dev environment
- An agent needs to discover whats available
Example prompts
- “/tools”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read operations: Blockscout MCP or Etherscan API
- Write operations: Foundry cast send or ethers.js/viem
- Contract exploration: abi.ninja (browser) or cast interface (CLI)
- Testing: Fork mainnet with anvil, test locally
- Deployment: forge create or forge script
- Verification: forge verify-contract or Etherscan API
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 06ea4ef. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npmpipgonpxyarn
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
eth.llamarpc.comrpc.ankr.com
Also links to:
mcp.blockscout.comabi.ninjax402.orggithub.comui.scaffoldeth.iodocs.scaffoldeth.ioetherscan.ioapi.etherscan.ioarbiscan.iobasescan.orgoptimistic.etherscan.iosepolia-faucet.pk910.deinfura.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Tools loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 545 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 545 words (~1,577 tokens).
“Blockscout MCP server exists: https://mcp.blockscout.com/mcp — gives AI agents structured blockchain data via Model Context Protocol. This is cutting-edge infra as of Feb 2026.”

Can I use Tools in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add austintgriffith/ethskills --skill tools -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/tools, .gemini/skills/tools, .github/skills/tools and .opencode/skills/tools in your project.
What does Tools need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Tools needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npm, pip, go, npx and yarn). Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js.
Does Tools access the network?
SKILL.md names 15 domains. In commands or code: eth.llamarpc.com and rpc.ankr.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: mcp.blockscout.com, abi.ninja, x402.org, github.com, ui.scaffoldeth.io, docs.scaffoldeth.io, etherscan.io, api.etherscan.io, arbiscan.io, basescan.org, optimistic.etherscan.io, sepolia-faucet.pk910.de and infura.io.
