$man tldr

NAME
  tldr . reads a transaction and tells you what it does

SYNOPSIS
  tldr decode <txhash>

DESCRIPTION
  you paste a hash. the agent pulls the transaction from base, decodes
  the calldata, swaps raw addresses for names where it can, and answers
  in one sentence a person can read before signing the next thing.

  the same engine runs inside chatgpt and claude through the base mcp.
  ask "what did i just sign" in chat and it answers there.

PRICE
  free. retail signs hex blind every day. that is the whole reason
  this exists.

TOKEN
  $TLDR has no utility and we are not going to invent one. the bot
  stays free either way. the token is a sticker on the translator's
  laptop. buy it because you like the bot, or don't.

BUGS
  plenty. decoding strange contracts is guesswork at the edges. when
  the agent is not sure, it says so instead of acting sure.

$tldr bot --install

the bot answers in chat, not on a dashboard.
