The World Machine

world
Read-onlyIdempotent

DataSnack's World Machine: models of real-world numbers (fuel and food prices, freight, yields and mortgage rates, shipping, currencies, AI model ratings, company value), each predicting its number in seven days, with each model's record against standing still, the models it reads and that read it, and the scorecard.

C2.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already establish that this is a safe, read-only, idempotent, closed-world operation. The description adds useful context about what the models represent and that each predicts a value in seven days, but it does not explain aggregation behavior, default scope, or how the domain filter changes the result.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is a single dense sentence with a long nested list. It is front-loaded with the tool identity, but the absence of an explicit action verb and the run-on structure reduce clarity compared with a concise purpose statement followed by scope details.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The tool is moderately complex and has an output schema, so return values need not be explained in the description. However, the definition omits how the optional domain filter behaves and when this tool is preferable to closely related siblings such as world_scenario and scoreboard.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, and the single optional domain parameter is documented with example values in the schema. The description adds no parameter semantics beyond the schema and does not mention how domain filtering affects the returned models.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description identifies the resource as a collection of real-world predictive models and lists the content areas, but it never states the operation being performed. An agent cannot tell from the text whether this returns a directory of models, a summary, or a filtered subset, and there is no explicit differentiation from siblings such as world_scenario or scoreboard.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like world_scenario, scoreboard, or search_models. The optional domain parameter is not discussed, so the agent cannot infer whether omitting it returns all models or a default subset.

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