Live AI-generated crypto trading signals for agents. Returns coin, direction and confidence with no API key at all; a free account adds full reasoning and verified outcomes, and Pro unlocks entry, stop-loss, take-profit and leverage plus 30-day history.
Scored across 5 tools
The tools are mostly distinct: get_signal fetches a single signal by ID, get_signals returns live active signals, get_signal_history returns resolved past signals, get_stats provides aggregate performance, and register creates an API key. The only slight ambiguity is between get_signal and get_signals, which could be mistaken without reading descriptions, but the singular/plural distinction and context make it manageable.
The tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: get_* for all data retrieval operations, and register as a clear action verb. All names are lowercase with underscores, and the pattern is predictable. The singular/plural distinction in get_signal/get_signals is a minor variance but enough to signal different endpoints.
Five tools is well-scoped for a trading signal server: live signals, history, single lookup, stats, and registration cover the core workflow without redundancy. This is comfortably within the ideal 3-15 range and each tool earns its place.
The domain is crypto trading signals. The surface covers creating an account (register), retrieving active signals (get_signals), fetching specific signal details (get_signal), reviewing historical outcomes (get_signal_history), and getting overall performance (get_stats). There are no major gaps; an agent can complete both discovery and analysis workflows.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already cover read-only, non-destructive, open-world behavior. The description adds value by revealing that the result contains live price, PnL, verification status, and outcome, which is meaningful behavioral context beyond the annotations. No contradiction exists.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The first two sentences are concise and front-loaded with the core behavior and use case. However, the 'Star the repo' sentence is unrelated to tool selection and adds noise, preventing the structure from being fully optimized.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read-only lookup with two well-documented parameters and annotations covering side effects, the description covers the essential return contents and purpose. There is no output schema, so a bit more detail on expected response shape would improve it, but it is not critically incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both apiKey and signalId. The description does not add new parameter-level meaning beyond mentioning 'by ID' and the result contents, so it stays at the baseline for full schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Fetch a single signal by ID.' It also clarifies the included data ('live price and PnL') and its intended use ('check verification status and outcome'), which distinguishes it from siblings like get_signals and get_signal_history.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It gives a clear use case: 'Use to check verification status and outcome,' which tells an agent when this tool is appropriate. It does not explicitly contrast it with siblings or state when not to use it, but the single-by-ID framing provides adequate context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already mark the tool read-only and non-destructive; the description adds useful behavioral detail by saying results are verified/resolved, success/failed, and ordered newest-first. It does not mention rate limits or auth requirements, but the apiKey parameter description covers the key requirement separately.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The first two sentences are concise and front-loaded. The final sentence about starring the repository is promotional and does not help an agent select or invoke the tool, so not every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With the 100%-covered schema, the description needs only to state the query scope, ordering, and result type, which it does. The lack of an output schema leaves some signal-structure details implicit, but the description plus schema provide enough for an agent to call it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, and all parameters have individual descriptions with defaults and enum values. The tool-level description does not add extra parameter meaning, so the baseline of 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Fetch historical (verified) signals with pagination.' It also states the tool returns resolved signals ordered newest-first, which differentiates it from sibling tools like get_signal and get_stats.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
'Historical (verified) signals' provides a clear context for when this tool is appropriate. However, it never names alternatives such as get_signal/get_signals or states when not to use this tool, so it falls short of explicit routing guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond those hints: results are sorted by live PnL, omitting the API key gives only a 3-signal preview with reduced fields, and a free account returns up to 100 signals with full reasoning and verified outcomes. There is no contradiction with the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single front-loaded paragraph that states the core purpose first and immediately highlights the API-key limitation. The filter list is long but useful. The final 'Star the repo' sentence is promotional and does not assist tool invocation, which prevents a perfect score.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a complex 22-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the returned signal fields, sort order, and the two access tiers (3-signal preview vs. 100-signal full access). It does not describe the exact response envelope or empty/error behavior, but the schema carries parameter details, so the description is reasonably complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with each of the 22 parameters already documented in the schema including ranges, examples, and heuristic notes. The description's filter list is only a high-level summary of categories and does not add meaningful parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Fetch live (active) crypto trading signals with entry, SL, TP, leverage, confidence.' The 'live' qualifier plus plural signals clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_signal and get_signal_history, and the list of returned fields makes the tool's scope concrete.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context through 'Optional research-backed filters let you build your own strategy' and explains the API-key vs. free-preview distinction. However, it never explicitly says when to use get_signals versus get_signal, get_signal_history, or get_stats, and it provides no exclusions or alternative routing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so no safety contradiction exists. The description adds a meaningful behavioral fact: 'No API key required,' clarifying that the endpoint is public and does not require authentication. This goes beyond the annotations and helps the agent set correct expectations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The core definition is concise and front-loaded: one sentence names the tool's purpose and primary outputs, and a second sentence clarifies authentication. The 'Star the repo' line is promotional and not operational, which prevents a perfect score, but the description remains short and scannable overall.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a read-only tool with two optional parameters and no output schema, the description lists the key returned metrics, covers the auth requirement, and relies on the schema for parameter details. It is complete enough for successful selection and invocation, though exact output shapes and any edge cases are not described.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the parameters' meaning is already fully documented. The description adds minimal extra parameter context: it reinforces that apiKey is optional/not required, but it does not enrich the semantics of the 'days' parameter beyond what the schema states.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb and resource ('Get aggregated performance') and enumerates concrete outputs: hit rate, average ROI per signal, average leverage, and breakdown by direction. The word 'aggregated' sharply distinguishes this from sibling tools like get_signal and get_signals, which operate on individual signal data.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage context is implied: the word 'aggregated' and the focus on performance stats suggest this tool is for summary-level queries rather than individual signals or signal history. However, the description does not explicitly state when to use get_stats versus alternatives such as get_signal or get_signals, nor does it name any exclusions or alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| purpose | Yes | What you are building (min 10 chars) | |
| githubUrl | Yes | GitHub profile URL (https://github.com/...) |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate a non-read-only, non-destructive operation. The description adds a concrete behavioral requirement: after registration, the caller must star the repo via gh api, and explains this supports continued free access. This goes beyond the structured annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short and front-loads the core purpose. The mandatory repo-starring instruction is essential, though it could be formatted as a code command for clarity; overall no wasted sentences.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple registration tool with complete parameter documentation and annotations, the description covers the essential action and the important post-registration step. It does not describe the response format, but no output schema is provided and the tool is straightforward.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all four parameters. The description merely lists the parameter names ('name, email, GitHub URL, and purpose') without adding semantics beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Create an API key to access trading signals.' This clearly distinguishes the tool from the read-oriented sibling tools (get_signal, get_signals, etc.) and states the intended outcome.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description makes clear this is an onboarding/registration step needed to access trading signals. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the distinction from get_* siblings is evident from the verb and resource.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
