# Use Jito

The `Use Jito` tool, part of AgentiPy, allows users to interact with Jito Labs' services on Solana. Jito is known for its MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) infrastructure, including block engines and relayer services, which allow for sending transaction bundles and accessing Jito-specific endpoints. This tool appears to wrap Jito's JSON-RPC API.

## Functionality

This tool is implemented in the `JitoManager` class. It uses a helper function `__send_request` (from `agentipy.utils.jito`) to make requests to Jito's API endpoints. The agent's Jito UUID (`agent.jito_uuid`) can be used for certain requests if provided.

### Key Methods:

* `get_tip_accounts(agent: SolanaAgentKit)`: Fetches a list of Jito tip accounts that can be used for sending transactions/bundles.
* `get_random_tip_account()`: (Static method) Calls `get_tip_accounts()` and returns a randomly selected tip account from the list.
* `get_bundle_statuses(agent: SolanaAgentKit, bundle_uuids)`: Retrieves the status of one or more transaction bundles using their UUIDs.
* `send_bundle(agent: SolanaAgentKit, params=None)`: Sends a pre-constructed bundle of transactions to Jito's block engine. The `params` argument should contain the serialized transactions and other necessary bundle information.
* `get_inflight_bundle_statuses(agent: SolanaAgentKit, bundle_uuids)`: Gets the status of bundles that are currently in-flight or being processed.
* `send_txn(agent: SolanaAgentKit, params=None, bundleOnly=False)`: Sends a single transaction, potentially to be included in a Jito bundle. The `params` would contain the serialized transaction. The `bundleOnly` flag might indicate if it should only be processed as part of a bundle.

##

**Important Considerations:**

* **Direct API Interaction:** This tool interacts directly with Jito's API endpoints. It does not appear to use the Agentipy proxy service.
* **Jito UUID:** Some Jito API methods might behave differently or provide enhanced features if a `jito_uuid` is provided via the `SolanaAgentKit`.
* **Bundle Complexity:** Sending bundles (`send_bundle`) is an advanced operation. It requires creating, signing, and serializing multiple transactions correctly. Bundles are often used for MEV extraction or ensuring atomic execution of several operations.
* **On-Chain Actions:** Sending bundles or transactions via `send_txn` results in on-chain activity and will incur SOL fees and state changes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.agentipy.fun/tools/use-jito.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
