Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, and open-world behavior, so the safety bar is covered. The description adds genuine value beyond that by characterizing the risk profile of dex results (newer, riskier) and the upstream sources (CoinGecko vs. on-chain DEX pools).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two compact sentences with the core definition front-loaded, followed by the source semantics in a single parenthetical clause. Every clause adds information; there is no filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description sensibly focuses on the source/mode distinction and risk framing, and annotations cover the safety profile. It leaves minor gaps around the limit parameter's effect and roughly what a returned entry contains, but nothing that would prevent a correct call.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 33%, so the description carries weight here and does: it documents the meaning and default of source and the conditional applicability of chain (only with source='dex'), matching the schema's own note. The limit parameter is not mentioned at all in the description, though the schema supplies its 1-50 bounds.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific resource (tokens with the most attention) and immediately splits it into two concrete modes: CoinGecko most-searched coins vs. hottest on-chain DEX pools. This distinguishes the two data sources crisply, but it does not explicitly differentiate the tool from close siblings like get_new_tokens or get_market_data.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives clear selection logic for the source parameter (coingecko is the default, dex for on-chain pools) and notes the chain filter only applies to dex. It also warns that dex results are typically newer and riskier, which helps an agent choose responsibly. No explicit when-not-to-use guidance against sibling tools is given.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
