Trace where funds came from
For agents: this is one tool of an MCP server, as the server described it to aiagentboard.org's probe.

Walk an address's INCOMING funds backwards to answer 'where did this wallet's money come from'. Stops at labelled entities (exchanges, mixers, services) and reports them with hop distance. Use this for source-of-funds checks; use trace_funds for where money went. Read-only: it only reads on-chain history.
