A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It fully discloses behavior: pure static data, always returns 200, no authentication required, sub-50ms p95. This exceeds expectations.

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 well-structured with a 'WHEN TO USE' section, but the exhaustive list of exchanges makes it slightly verbose. Still, every part serves a purpose and it is front-loaded.

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?

Given no output schema, the description details the return format and all relevant aspects (purpose, usage, behavior, list of exchanges). Comprehensive for a no-parameter tool.

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?

No parameters required; schema coverage is 100% with an empty object. The description adds no parameter info but does not need to. Baseline for 0 params is 4.

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 returns a directory of all 28 exchanges with specific fields (MIC codes, names, timezones, etc.) and identifies it as model-agnostic. It distinguishes from siblings by noting it is used before get_market_status or get_market_schedule.

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?

Explicitly tells when to use: 'call once at agent startup to discover supported markets before calling get_market_status or get_market_schedule.' No contradictory or missing guidance.

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

Tool Count5/5

4 tools is well-scoped for a market data oracle server, covering essential functions without unnecessary bloat.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers directory, schedule, signed status, and payment options, satisfying the server's purpose without obvious gaps.
