ScorpTech x402 Tools

Cube Sum

cube_sum
Read-onlyIdempotent

The sum of the first n cubes, (n*(n+1)/2)^2. The sum through 2 is 9, and through 10 is 3025. n runs from 0 to 100000. Past 15 digits the value is a decimal string. Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: POST https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/cube-sum

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive). The description adds useful behavior beyond that: the output becomes a decimal string past 15 digits, and calls cost $0.001 USDC via x402 on Solana, with an HTTPS endpoint also listed.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the formula, then adds examples, bounds, large-value output format, payment, and endpoint. Each sentence supplies a distinct operational detail without waste.

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 single-parameter, read-only math function with no output schema, the description covers the computation, valid n range, large-result formatting, cost, and alternate HTTPS access. Nothing essential for correct invocation 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?

With one required parameter and 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by defining n as the number of initial cubes summed and restating its 0–100000 range. It does not add formatting details beyond the schema, but parameter meaning is clear.

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 mathematical operation, 'the sum of the first n cubes', and gives the exact closed form. This distinguishes cube_sum from nearby sibling tools such as cube_min and cube_ways without requiring schema inspection.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It does not say when to use this tool versus alternatives, and no sibling tools are named. The n-range and examples provide context, but there is no explicit usage guidance or exclusion criteria.

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