If you want to get a mesh material you must call:

if a is MeshInstance3D:
            a.mesh.surface_get_material(0).albedo_color = Color(1, 1, 1, 0.5)

StandardMaterial3D is used as basic material for mesh, but what can be set you found here: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_basematerial3d.html#class-basematerial3d
Also you can open your mesh i editor and check what is set:
