Get SAP x402 Balance

sap_x402_get_balance
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch x402 escrow balance using SDK X402Registry.getBalance. SAP MCP context: Payment and settlement flow. Estimate or fetch state before creating escrows or settling calls; write operations require an enabled signer mode and MCP policy approval.

SAP MCP execution guidance: Intent: read/discovery workflow. Pricing: free; call directly without x402. Routing: free hosted call; call directly and keep it small/exact when possible. Signer boundary: hosted reads/builders never receive keypair bytes; value-moving results must be finalized locally when signing is required.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=true? Actually destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by specifying the exact SDK method (X402Registry.getBalance) and providing execution context (pricing, routing, signer boundary). No contradictions with annotations.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is two paragraphs: first states purpose and usage context, second provides execution guidance. It is front-loaded and each sentence adds value. Slightly verbose but still efficient. Score 4.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the presence of an output schema (context signals indicate 'Has output schema: true'), the description does not need to detail return values. It covers purpose, usage context, execution details, and integration notes. The description is complete enough for an agent to use the tool correctly.

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%, so the schema already documents all three parameters (nonce, depositor, agentWallet) with descriptions. The description does not add additional semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description clearly states 'Fetch x402 escrow balance using SDK X402Registry.getBalance.' It specifies the action (fetch) and resource (x402 escrow balance). Among sibling tools like sap_x402_build_headers_from_escrow and sap_x402_settle, this tool's purpose is distinct and unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description provides explicit guidance: 'Estimate or fetch state before creating escrows or settling calls; write operations require an enabled signer mode and MCP policy approval.' It also includes execution guidance about pricing (free), routing (free hosted call), and signer boundary, giving clear when-to-use and how-to-use instructions.

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