Solidity — 139 Operations for AI Agents
This page is the canonical reference an AI coding agent uses to refactor, query, and analyze Solidity code through the act MCP server. 139 operations available: 65 refactor, 18 query, 42 analysis, 14 verification. Each operation is callable from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, or any MCP-compatible agent host. Click any operation for a stable anchor link suitable for citation.
Premium language. Operations on Solidity require an Elite license or above. See pricing.

18 query tools, the same on every supported language. Descriptions live in the shared reference: /docs/query-tools.

convert-to-checks-effects-interactions |

extract-constructor-logic |
Extract complex constructor logic to internal function |
extract-function |
Extract code block into a new internal/private function |
extract-interface |
Extract contract interface into separate interface declaration |
extract-library |
Extract utility functions into a library contract |
extract-variable |
Extract expression into a named local variable with inferred type |
extract_function |
Extract a code selection into a new function — automatically infers parameters, return types, and inserts the call site. Use instead of manually cutting/pasting code. Works without LSP; LSP improves type inference. Params: file (string), new_name (string), start_line (u32), start_column (u32), end_line (u32), end_column (u32) [, preview (bool), receipt (bool)] |
extract_variable |
Extract an expression into a named variable — inserts the declaration and replaces the expression with the variable name. Works without LSP. Params: file (string), new_name (string), start_line (u32), start_column (u32), end_line (u32), end_column (u32) [, preview (bool)] |
generate-amount-validation |
Generate require(param > 0, "Invalid amount") check at the top of a function body |
generate-authorization-check |
Insert onlyOwner require check and generate owner state variable + modifier if missing |
generate-balance-check |
Insert require(address(this).balance >= amountParam) at the start of a function |
generate-constructor |
Generate constructor with parameter initialization |
generate-custom-error |
Generate a custom error type from function parameters and replace the first require with revert |
generate-event |
Generate an event declaration from a function's parameters |
generate-event-emitter |
Generate both an event declaration and emit statement for a function |
generate-getter-function |
Generate public getter for private state variable |
generate-interface-from-contract |
Generate interface from contract public/external functions |
generate-mock-implementation |
Generate stub implementation for interface |
generate-ownership-transfer |
Generate transferOwnership function with owner guard in a contract |
generate-reentrancy-guard |
Generate full ReentrancyGuard pattern (_locked var + nonReentrant modifier) in a contract |
generate-setter-function |
Generate a public setter function for a named state variable |
generate-test-helper |
Generate internal function supporting test patterns |
generate-zero-address-check |
Generate require(param != address(0)) check at the top of a function body |
inline |
Inline a variable, function, or method — replace every usage with its definition body, then remove the original. The inverse of extract. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file inlining. Params: file (string), symbol (string) [, line (u32), preview (bool), receipt (bool)] |
inline-function-call |
Replace function call with function body at call site |
inline-variable |
Inline variable reference at all use sites; eliminate declaration |
insert_body |
Replace a function's implementation body with new code. AST-validated — rejects if the result has parse errors, so you can't accidentally break syntax. Use instead of manual text editing for function rewrites. Params: file (string), symbol (string), code (string) [, commit (bool)] |
introduce-variable |
Introduce a local const for a selected expression |
move-function-to-library |
Extract function to library contract for reuse |
move_symbol |
Move a function, class, or type to a different file and automatically update all imports across the codebase. Use instead of manually cut/paste + fixing imports. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file import updates. Params: file (string), symbol (string), destination (string) [, preview (bool), receipt (bool)] |
recipe_run |
Run a codemod recipe: declarative match → transform → optional verify across modeled grammars. Preview lists matches; apply writes with optional E7 receipts and all-or-nothing rollback. Returns a per-site report. |
remove-unchecked-block |
Remove unchecked { } wrapper from a function, keeping inner statements |
remove-visibility-modifier |
Remove redundant visibility modifiers where defaults apply |
rename |
Rename a symbol and automatically update ALL references across the codebase. Safer and faster than find-and-replace — AST-aware, won't rename strings or comments. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file renames. Params: file (string), old_name (string), new_name (string) [, line (u32), column (u32), preview (bool), receipt (bool)] |
rename-contract |
Rename contract declaration and update references |
rename-enum |
Rename enum declaration and update references |
rename-function |
Rename function and update all call sites |
rename-identifier |
Rename a variable, function, or contract across all references |
rename-state-variable |
Rename state variable and update all references |
rename-struct |
Rename struct declaration and update instantiations |
split-variable-declaration |
Split variable declarations into separate statements |
