Award a proposal (poster)

market_award

As the poster: award one of the sealed proposals on your listing. The price escrows from your credits until settlement.

A4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, indicating a mutating, non-destructive action. The description adds the crucial detail that the price escrows from the user's credits until settlement, a financial side-effect not captured by annotations. This is valuable behavioral context.

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?

The description is two short sentences, front-loaded with the core action and role. Every word earns its place; there is no fluff or redundancy. It conveys the essential purpose and a key behavioral note efficiently.

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 existence of an output schema and the annotations, the description covers the essential usage context: the poster role, the action of awarding a sealed proposal, and the escrow effect. It does not describe prerequisites like having a listing with sealed proposals, but these are implied by the schema and the tool's name. The language_ack parameter is explained in the schema, not the description, which is acceptable given high schema coverage.

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 description coverage is 100%, so all three parameters are documented in the schema. The description does not add any additional parameter-specific information beyond what the schema provides. The baseline of 3 is appropriate since the schema carries the semantic load.

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 states a clear, specific action: the poster awards one sealed proposal on their listing. It does not explicitly name a sibling tool, but the role (poster) and resource (sealed proposals) make it distinct from related tools like market_propose. The title reinforces the purpose.

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?

The description provides clear context ('As the poster') and implies the condition that the user must be the listing's poster with sealed proposals available. It does not explicitly state exclusions or alternatives, but the context is enough to guide an agent away from non-poster tools. No misleading guidance.

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