sui-tool

sui-tool contains assorted debugging utilities for Sui.

You can build and run sui-tool from source with:

cargo run --bin sui-tool -- <args>

anemo tools

You can use the anemo CLI tools to ping or call an RPC on an Anemo server. Note that (for now) this uses randomly generated keys, so a server or method that restricts access to allowlisted peers will reject connections from this tool.

Anemo networks are identified by a "server name" that the client must match. Server names you may want to use:

• Narwhal primary and worker: narwhal
• Sui discovery and state sync: sui

ping

Example command to ping an anemo server:

SERVER_NAME="sui"; \
ADDRESS="1.2.3.4:5678"; \
cargo run --bin sui-tool -- anemo ping --server-name "$SERVER_NAME" "$ADDRESS"

call

sui-tool has been preconfigured to support RPC calls using RON (Rusty Object Notation) for the following servivces:

• Narwhal: PrimaryToPrimary and WorkerToWorker
• Sui: Discovery and StateSync

Example command to send an RPC:

SERVER_NAME="sui"; \
ADDRESS="1.2.3.4:5678"; \
SERVICE_NAME="StateSync"; \
METHOD_NAME="GetCheckpointSummary"; \
REQUEST="BySequenceNumber(123)"; \
cargo run --bin sui-tool -- \
    anemo call --server-name "$SERVER_NAME" "$ADDRESS" "$SERVICE_NAME" "$METHOD_NAME" "$REQUEST"
