Return bounded factual eth_estimateGas units and recent eth_feeHistory execution-fee evide
Return bounded factual eth_estimateGas units and recent eth_feeHistory execution-fee evidence for one unsigned Ethereum or Base transaction. Not execution, signing, custody, trading, or a guaranteed final cost. Call when you need point-in-time gas units and recent execution-fee context before signing or submitting.
