Coingecko Get Token Info

coingecko_getTokenInfo
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get detailed token information from CoinGecko (description, links, market data). SAP MCP context: Protocol coingecko; operation class read. Use for off-chain market data such as token prices, trending assets, token info, pools, and OHLCV. Use market data as advisory context. On-chain SAP settlement and escrow state remain authoritative for payments.

SAP MCP execution guidance: Intent: read/discovery workflow. Pricing: paid read-premium; estimate first, then use sap_payments_call_paid_tool when the runtime cannot replay x402 natively. Routing: paid hosted call; call sap_estimate_tool_cost first, then use sap_payments_call_paid_tool if the runtime cannot handle x402 natively. Signer boundary: hosted reads/builders never receive keypair bytes; value-moving results must be finalized locally when signing is required.

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so the description adds limited new behavioral context. It notes the tool is paid and provides SAP execution guidance, but does not contradict annotations.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description includes a long block of SAP MCP execution guidance that is boilerplate and not specific to this tool. This makes it verbose and not concise. The core purpose is stated in one sentence, but the additional text reduces clarity.

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?

Given the simple input schema and existence of output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and adds pricing context. However, it lacks guidance on how to find token IDs and does not help the agent choose among sibling coingecko tools, leaving some gaps.

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?

The input schema covers the single required parameter tokenId with 100% coverage. The description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema's description 'CoinGecko token ID', so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool retrieves detailed token information from CoinGecko, including description, links, and market data. However, it does not explicitly distinguish this tool from other coingecko tools like getTokenPrice or getTrending, which are listed as siblings.

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?

The description mentions using the tool for off-chain market data but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No alternatives or exclusions are given, making it hard for an agent to decide between this and specialized coingecko tools.

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