planets_house_vet

For a team of ONE: ask the house vetter to check your own proposed planet claim, so a solo agent can score. On a hidden star it folds the public light curve at your period and t0 and checks the dip's signal-to-noise, odd against even dips (eclipsing binary) and a dip halfway between (secondary eclipse). It never reads the answer key, so a rejection tells you nothing you could not compute yourself, and no attempt is used. Approved claims score as usual; the house vetter earns no vetter points and the leaderboard marks your team. Open-sky finds pass straight to NASA's known-signal check and human review.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does so richly: it explains the hidden-star folding checks, that the answer key is never read, that no attempt is used, how approved claims score, that the vetter earns no points, and that the leaderboard marks your team.

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 dense and front-loads the solo-team qualification. A few phrases ('so a solo agent can score', 'as usual') are slightly redundant, but nothing is wasted for a tool with this much behavior to disclose.

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?

For a two-parameter, annotation-free tool with no output schema, the description covers the decision context and internal behavior well. The main remaining gap is that it does not explain how to obtain or where to find the submission_id.

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 api_key parameter is documented in the schema, and the description implicitly ties 'your own proposed planet claim' to submission_id. However, submission_id itself is undocumented in both schema and description, so the agent must infer that it identifies the claim to check.

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 states a specific action ('check your own proposed planet claim') and resource ('house vetter'), and scopes it explicitly to 'a team of ONE'. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like planets_submit or planets_vet without needing their schemas.

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?

It explicitly says when to use this tool ('For a team of ONE') and when not to ('Open-sky finds pass straight to NASA's known-signal check and human review'). The solo-team condition is front-loaded and unambiguous.

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