getChangelogIDs

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the ids of recent changes to CoinPaprika's coin and exchange listings (additions, renames, delistings) for syncing a local dataset. Use for 'what changed recently', 'new or delisted coins', 'listing changelog'. Read-only; page (default 1) and limit (default 50) paginate the feed. Requires your own Starter+ CoinPaprika key; without one this hosted server returns a plan-required message.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly and idempotent hints, and the description reinforces this with 'Read-only'. It adds valuable context beyond annotations: pagination behavior for page/limit, the requirement for a Starter+ CoinPaprika key, and the plan-required error response without a key.

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?

Three purposeful sentences: what the tool returns, when to use it, and the operational details (read-only, pagination, auth). No filler or redundant repetition of the schema.

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 paginated read-only listing tool, the description covers purpose, usage triggers, pagination, auth requirements, and error behavior. The output schema exists, and the rationale parameter is fully documented in the input schema, so nothing critical is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is low (33%), but the description compensates by explaining that page and limit paginate the feed with defaults. The required rationale parameter is not mentioned in the description, but the schema provides a thorough explanation for it, so the agent is not left without guidance.

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 names a specific verb and resource: 'Get the ids of recent changes to CoinPaprika's coin and exchange listings (additions, renames, delistings)'. It clearly distinguishes this from the many other getter tools by focusing on changelog IDs for sync purposes.

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?

It explicitly lists canonical use cases: 'what changed recently', 'new or delisted coins', 'listing changelog'. It does not name alternatives or exclusions, but none of the sibling tools appear to offer the same changelog capability, so the guidance is sufficiently clear.

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