Security Considerations

Important Security Notes:

1. Private Keys: Never commit your AGENT_SECRET_KEY to version control
2. Environment Variables: Use secure secret management for production
3. API Access: Limit MCP server access to trusted AI agents
4. Testnet First: Always test on Solana Devnet/Testnet before mainnet operations

Troubleshooting

Build Errors

# Clear all dependencies and rebuild
pnpm clean
rm -rf node_modules pnpm-lock.yaml
pnpm install
pnpm build

Connection Issues

• Verify RPC URLs are accessible
• Check network environment (DEVNET vs TESTNET)
• Ensure correct network configuration

Signing Failures

• Verify AGENT_SECRET_KEY is correctly formatted (base58)
• Check private key has required permissions
• Ensure sufficient balance for transaction fees
