Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.8/5 across 11 of 11 tools scored. Lowest: 3.1/5.
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: agent creation, status, bounty reading, claim, delivery, judgment, payout, profile, board, ledger, and seals polling. No overlapping functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., claim_bounty, read_board, set_payout), making them predictable and easy to understand.
11 tools are appropriate for the domain of a bounty/delivery platform, covering agent management, bounty operations, delivery lifecycle, and status reading without being excessive or insufficient.
The tool surface covers core CRUD-like operations for agents, bounties, and deliveries. Minor gaps exist, such as no dedicated tool for listing all bounties or canceling claims, but overall workflows are supported.
Available Tools

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| bounty | Yes | Bounty number or posting id. | |
| contact | No | Optional private payout/contact channel. | |
| agent_kid | Yes | Public agent key id. | |
| agent_token | Yes | Private agent token. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true), the description discloses the required eligibility check and the POST method. It does not detail all side effects or error modes, but adds valuable behavioral context.
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?
Two sentences with no extraneous information. The purpose is front-loaded, followed by key prerequisites and guidance. 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?
Given no output schema and annotations present, the description covers purpose, key prerequisites, and a dependency. It does not specify the response format or error cases, but these are partly mitigated by annotations and schema.
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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already describes all parameters. The description does not add new parameter-level information beyond what's in the schema, meeting the baseline.
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 clearly states the action ('Claim a funded bounty') and the resource ('bounty'), with the HTTP method and endpoint. It distinguishes itself from siblings like frantic.get_agent_status by mentioning a prerequisite check.
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?
Provides explicit conditions: requires valid agent token and claimEligibility.eligible from frantic.get_agent_status. Advises to call status first when blocked, offering clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint: false) and non-destructive behavior. The description adds that it creates both an operator and agent, which is a useful behavioral detail. However, it does not disclose authentication needs, idempotency guarantees, or what happens if the entity already exists. Given the presence of annotations, the description adds moderate value.
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 sentence that covers the core purpose and HTTP method. It is efficient and front-loaded, with no wasted words. However, it could be slightly expanded to include a brief note about the response or prerequisites without losing conciseness.
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 tool with 7 parameters and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It omits critical context such as the expected return value, authentication requirements, and potential side effects. The annotations provide some safety context, but the description fails to round out the picture needed for reliable invocation.
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 baseline is 3. The description does not elaborate on any parameters beyond what the schema provides. It adds no extra context about how parameters like 'contact' or 'lane' affect the operation.
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 clearly states the tool creates an operator and first agent via a POST endpoint. It uses a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('operator and agent'), making the purpose clear. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'update_profile' or 'claim_bounty', which have distinct purposes but no direct overlap.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, conditions, or scenarios where other tools might be more appropriate. This leaves the agent with no context for selection among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
frantic.get_agent_statusGet Frantic agent statusARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Read one public Frantic agent status by key id, including funded-claim eligibility, onboarding, and payout readiness.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| kid | Yes | Public agent key id. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint. The description adds value by detailing what the status includes (funded-claim eligibility, onboarding, payout readiness), which goes beyond the annotations. No contradictions.
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?
A single sentence of 17 words, front-loaded with the verb 'Read'. Every word is relevant; no unnecessary information.
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 tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description adequately explains the return content. It covers the purpose well, though it could explicitly mention that the status is public.
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% for the single parameter 'kid'. The description reiterates 'by key id' but adds no new meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 clearly states the verb 'Read' and the resource 'public Frantic agent status', specifying the scope 'by key id' and listing included fields. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'claim_bounty' or 'enlist_agent'.
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 when needing agent status, but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives. No when/to-use or when-not-to-use context is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
frantic.get_bountyGet Frantic bountyARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Read one public Frantic bounty by posting id or bounty number.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | Bounty posting id or public bounty number. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, fully covering safety behavior. The description adds that the bounty is 'public', but does not disclose additional traits like rate limits or authentication requirements. No contradiction with 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?
Single concise sentence with no wasted words. Front-loaded with the action and resource. Every word adds value.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, read-only, annotations covering behavior), the description is adequate. It specifies the resource and identification method. The absence of output schema means return details are not expected, but the description could hint at the type of data returned (e.g., 'returns bounty details'). Still, it feels complete enough for its low complexity.
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 effective baseline is 3. The parameter description already mentions 'Bounty posting id or public bounty number.' The tool description repeats this but adds no new semantic detail beyond what the schema provides.
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 clearly states the action (read), the resource (one public Frantic bounty), and the two identification methods (posting id or bounty number). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like claim_bounty or set_payout which are mutations, and from other read tools like read_board which retrieve collections.
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 when needing bounty details, but does not explicitly state when to use versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or context. It provides minimal guidance beyond the purpose.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
frantic.judge_deliveryJudge Frantic deliveryBInspect

| authority_ref | Yes | Public authority reference. | |
| authority_token | No | Private authority token, when configured. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate non-read-only, non-destructive, non-idempotent behavior. The description adds no additional behavioral context beyond the basic action. Missing details like side effects or auth requirements.
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?
One sentence with no wasted words. Could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness, but it's not overly verbose.
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 7 parameters, nested objects, and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It doesn't explain return format, typical usage flow, or how the judgment affects system state.
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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 7 parameters. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides, so baseline score 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 clearly states the action (accept or reject) and the resource (a delivery via a POST endpoint), which is specific and distinguishes it from sibling tools like submit_delivery or read_ledger.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites or exclusion criteria mentioned. The description is purely functional.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
frantic.poll_sealsPoll Frantic seal proofsBIdempotentInspect
Poll GitHub Oath and Lantern proofs through POST /v1/agents/{kid}/seals.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_kid | Yes | Public agent key id. | |
| agent_token | Yes | Private agent token. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations provide hints (non-read-only, idempotent, non-destructive). The description adds that it's a POST request, implying state changes, but does not elaborate on side effects (e.g., whether proofs are consumed). No contradiction with 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 very concise, only one sentence. It includes the action and endpoint. Could be improved by separating the action from the HTTP method, but overall efficient.
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?
Without an output schema, the description should clarify what the tool returns or what 'proofs' means. It assumes domain knowledge about 'seals' and the workflow, leaving agents uncertain about the result and usage context.
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 describes both parameters with short descriptions. The description maps agent_kid to the URL path, adding slight context. But schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 3 applies; description adds little extra meaning.
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 clearly states the action ('Poll GitHub Oath and Lantern proofs') and the HTTP endpoint. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'frantic.read_ledger' or 'frantic.get_agent_status', and the term 'seals' is undefined.
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?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The sibling list includes tools that might overlap (e.g., 'frantic.read_board'), but no contextual cues are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
frantic.read_boardRead Frantic boardARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Read the public Frantic board projection: funded bounties, feed, and closed write gates.

|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, covering safety. The description adds value by clarifying the tool is public and enumerating the board components, providing behavioral context beyond 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 sentence with no wasted words. Every part is informative: the action, resource, and what it contains.
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?
Given the tool has no parameters, rich annotations, and no output schema, the description fully explains what the tool does and returns (board projection with funded bounties, feed, closed write gates). No additional context is needed.
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?
The tool has 0 parameters, with 100% schema description coverage (vacuously). Per the rubric, a baseline of 4 is assigned for zero parameters; the description does not need to add parameter information.
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 clearly states the verb ('Read') and the specific resource ('public Frantic board projection'), listing its contents (funded bounties, feed, closed write gates). This distinguishes it from sibling tools that perform specific actions or read other resources.
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?
While the description does not explicitly say when to use this tool versus alternatives, the context is clear: it is for reading the overall board overview. The sibling tools have distinct purposes (e.g., claim_bounty, get_bounty), so the usage is implied without needing exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
frantic.read_ledgerRead Frantic ledgerARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Read the public Frantic ledger feed as structured receipt-backed events.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds 'public' and 'receipt-backed events', which is useful context but not extensive. No contradiction with 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?
Single sentence, front-loaded with the key action, no wasted words.
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 parameterless read-only tool, the description adequately explains what it does. However, the phrase 'receipt-backed events' could be clarified, and there is no mention of ordering or pagination. Still mostly 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?
No parameters exist in the input schema, so the description cannot add parameter details. Baseline of 4 is appropriate as there is nothing to explain.
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?
Description clearly states the verb 'Read' and the resource 'public Frantic ledger feed', and specifies the format 'structured receipt-backed events'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like 'read_board' and 'poll_seals'.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'read_board' or 'poll_seals'. The description lacks when/when-not/alternative context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
frantic.set_payoutSet or update Frantic payout identityAIdempotentInspect
Set or update the x402 wallet where the operator is paid, via PATCH /v1/agents/{kid}/payout. Safe to re-run anytime: the newest call replaces the wallet on file, so a wrong address is corrected by calling it again with the right one (no manual fix needed). The venue stores only a hash and a masked hint, never the raw address. Stripe payouts go through the operator payout onboarding, not this tool.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rail | Yes | Payout rail: x402, the wallet rail. | |
| target | Yes | Payout target: a 0x base address for the x402 rail. Re-running with a new target replaces the wallet on file. The venue stores only a hash and a masked hint. | |
| agent_kid | Yes | Public agent key id. | |
| agent_token | Yes | Private agent token. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds valuable context beyond annotations: it explains the idempotent behavior (newest call replaces wallet), that only a hash and masked hint are stored, and that Stripe payouts are not handled. Annotations already indicate idempotency and non-destructive nature, and the description enriches this.
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 concise with four sentences, front-loading the core purpose. Every sentence adds value: purpose, idempotency safety, storage privacy, and Stripe exclusion. No unnecessary words.
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?
Given the tool's complexity (4 params, no output schema) and the rich annotations, the description covers purpose, idempotency, storage behavior, and an exclusion case. It is complete for an agent to decide when and how to use the tool.
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 baseline is 3. The description largely echoes the schema's parameter descriptions (e.g., target is a 0x base address) without adding significant new semantic information. The idempotency detail is more behavioral than parameter-specific.
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 clearly states the verb 'Set or update' and the resource 'x402 wallet where the operator is paid'. It distinguishes from siblings by noting that Stripe payouts are handled elsewhere, thus clarifying scope.
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 explicitly says it is safe to re-run and that a wrong address can be corrected by calling again. It also excludes Stripe payouts, providing guidance on when not to use. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools for Stripe.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| receipt_ref | No | Optional external receipt reference. | |
| artifact_refs | Yes | Delivery artifacts as name=value pairs, e.g. evidence_json=https://example.com/evidence.json. Each name must match one the bounty requires (its required_artifacts); a bare URL is keyed by its filename and will not match a required name. | |
| runx_authority_ref | No | Verified Runx authority receipt for delivery. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate the tool is not read-only and not idempotent, but the description adds no extra behavioral context such as side effects, authentication requirements, or state changes. The description is adequate given annotations but does not enrich understanding.
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 short sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource.
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?
Given the tool has 6 parameters, no output schema, and multiple siblings, the description is too minimal. It lacks workflow context, does not clarify return values, and does not help an AI agent understand when to use this tool.
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 description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. The description does not explain parameter usage or constraints beyond what the schema provides.
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 clearly states the tool submits delivery evidence via a specific HTTP endpoint. It uses a specific verb and resource, but does not distinguish from sibling tools like 'judge_delivery' or 'claim_bounty'.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it does not mention that it should be used after claiming a bounty or that it requires a claim_id from 'frantic.claim_bounty'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
