Summary
This is a routing guide that helps Claude decide whether to use Nansen's AI agent or direct CLI commands for blockchain research queries. The core logic is simple: use the agent (200-750 credits) for analysis and interpretation like "what's happening with smart money," and use direct CLI commands (5-50 credits) for raw data like token screeners or wallet balances. The anti-patterns section is the most useful part, especially the reminder that chaining multiple agent calls is wasteful. If you're building anything that touches Nansen's API, this saves you from burning credits on the wrong tool for the job.
