  "description": "Estimate seconds to target block from current height and block time. Call when scheduling waits or SLA checks for confirmation targets. Returns eta_seconds and blocks remaining as deterministic JSON for $0.001 USDC via x402 on Base. First-party local math only—no RPC, live market feed, API keys, storage, or mediagen. Advisory only; the caller owns capital, risk, and production controls.",
