getCapabilities

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the static agent onboarding guide for this server: supported workflows, network name synonyms (mapping words like 'eth' to the canonical slug 'ethereum'), recommended call sequences, and common pitfalls. Read-only and keyless. Read it once at the start of a session before your first query, or when asked 'how do I use this API?', 'what order should I call things in?', or 'which slug maps to eth?'. This returns onboarding docs, not live market data; for the actual list of network slugs use getNetworks, and for coverage totals use getStats. Takes no parameters beyond a short rationale.

  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world. The description adds genuinely new context: it is static docs, keyless, and returns onboarding material rather than live market data — an important distinction that prevents misuse as a data endpoint.

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?

Front-loads what the tool is, then what it contains, then when to call it, then what it is not. Every sentence carries distinct information and there is no padding.

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?

An output schema exists, so return value details are out of scope. The description supplies purpose, triggers, exclusions and sibling routing — everything needed to invoke 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 single parameter has 100% schema description coverage, so the schema already fully documents the required rationale. The description only notes 'takes no parameters beyond a short rationale', adding slight framing but no syntax or format detail beyond the schema's baseline.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get the static agent onboarding guide for this server') and enumerates its contents: workflows, slug synonyms, recommended call sequences, pitfalls. It also explicitly separates itself from siblings getNetworks and getStats, so an agent can place it immediately.

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?

Gives concrete triggers ('read it once at the start of a session before your first query', 'how do I use this API?', 'which slug maps to eth?') and names the alternative tools to use for adjacent needs (getNetworks for slugs, getStats for coverage). When/when-not and alternatives are all present.

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