Escro

Get escrow

get_escrow
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch one escrow by its base-58 PDA address, including its state as mirrored by the Escro API (it can briefly lag the chain; the program is authoritative). Amounts are in micro-USDC (6 decimals). Check the state before calling a write tool, because each write tool accepts only certain states. Read-only; needs no wallet.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing that returned state mirrors the Escro API and can briefly lag the chain, with the program authoritative — a critical caveat for decision-making. It also specifies amounts are in micro-USDC (6 decimals), adding real value on top of the readOnly/idempotent hints.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three sentences, each carrying distinct information: identity/scope, data-freshness caveat, units, and usage precondition. Zero redundancy and the core purpose is front-loaded.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a one-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description covers what is returned (state), data freshness, and unit semantics, and it explains why the state matters downstream. The only minor omission is behavior when the address is not found, which is not enough to lower the score.

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 parameter is already documented as a base-58 escrow PDA address, so the description adds only a modest restatement of the same constraint. Baseline 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb and resource — 'Fetch one escrow by its base-58 PDA address' — and the singular framing makes it clearly distinct from list_escrows without naming it. An agent can tell it apart from the sibling list tool from the first clause.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives explicit usage guidance: check state before calling a write tool because write tools accept only certain states. It also notes the tool is read-only and needs no wallet, which clarifies the call context. It does not explicitly route to list_escrows for multi-record queries, so it falls short of naming alternatives.

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