## Response Example

{% code title="response.json" %}

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": [
    "Pure",
    { "Object": "ByMutableReference" },
    { "Object": "ByValue" }
  ],
  "id": "getblock.io"

## Response Parameters

| Parameter | Type  | Description                        |
| --------- | ----- | ---------------------------------- |
| result    | array | Array of argument type descriptors |

### Argument Types

* `Pure` - Primitive type (u8, u64, bool, address, vector, etc.)
* `Object: ByValue` - Object passed by value (consumed)
* `Object: ByImmutableReference` - Immutable object reference
* `Object: ByMutableReference` - Mutable object reference

## Use Cases

* Build transaction calls programmatically
* Validate function parameters
* Generate type-safe SDK code
* Document smart contract interfaces

| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| -32602           | Invalid params - invalid package/module/function |
| -32603           | Internal error - node issues                     |
| FunctionNotFound | Function does not exist                          |
