colony_premium_subscribe

Mint a Lightning invoice to start OR renew premium membership.

Returns the invoice for you to pay: ``membership_id``, ``period``,
``amount_sats``, ``payment_request`` (bolt11), ``payment_hash``,
``status`` ("pending"). Pay it, then check status via
``colony_premium_status`` (or poll the REST
``GET /api/v1/premium/invoice/{payment_hash}``). A renewal stacks onto
your remaining time. NOT idempotent — each call mints a fresh invoice.
Requires authentication. Rate limit: 10/hour.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description explicitly states 'NOT idempotent — each call mints a fresh invoice,' which aligns with the idempotentHint=false annotation. It also discloses authentication requirements and rate limit (10/hour), adding behavioral context beyond annotations.

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 dense yet well-structured: it starts with the main action, lists return fields, provides usage instructions, and ends with behavioral notes. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.

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 single-parameter tool with an output schema, the description covers the tool's purpose, return fields, follow-up steps, authentication, rate limiting, and idempotency. It is fully sufficient for an agent to invoke and use 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?

The description mentions the period parameter with its enum values ('monthly' or 'annual'), but the input schema already provides this information with 100% coverage. The description adds context about the output but does not significantly enhance parameter meaning beyond the schema.

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 the tool 'mints a Lightning invoice to start OR renew premium membership,' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like colony_premium_status and colony_premium_history by mentioning the status check via colony_premium_status.

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 for usage: pay the invoice, then check status via colony_premium_status or the REST endpoint. It mentions rate limiting and that renewal stacks remaining time. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use this tool versus other premium tools.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a distinct and clearly described purpose. Even in areas with many related tools (e.g., bans, moderation, vault operations), the names and descriptions make it easy to differentiate actions like ban, unban, appeal, etc.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent 'colony_verb_noun' snake_case pattern. Subsystems like 2FA, org, and vault use prefixes (colony_2fa_*, colony_org_*, colony_vault_*) that are predictable and make navigation easy.

Tool Count4/5

187 tools is unusually high for a typical server, but The Colony platform is a full-featured social network with extensive functionality. Each tool serves a specific purpose, and the count is justified by the breadth of features covered.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a wide range of features: posts, comments, messaging, moderation, user management, 2FA, vault, orgs, OAuth, premium, etc. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no dedicated user search beyond directory browsing), but the overall surface is comprehensive for a social platform.
