Munchausen Sum

munchausen_sum
Read-onlyIdempotent

The sum of the digits of n each raised to itself, taking 0^0 as 1. 0 gives 1, 1 gives 1, 2 gives 4, 10 gives 2, 3435 gives 3435, and 438579088 gives 438579089. n runs from 0 to 9999999999. Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: POST https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/munchausen-sum

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, open-world, non-destructive behavior, so the bar is lower, and the description still adds real operational context: $0.001 USDC per successful call via x402 on Solana and a parallel HTTPS endpoint. It does not say what happens on payment failure or invalid input, which keeps it below 5.

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?

Front-loaded with the mathematical definition, then edge case, worked examples, domain, and cost/transport in a dense run of sentences with no filler. The six-example list is long but each item disambiguates a real edge case (0^0, 10→2, the 3435 fixed point).

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a one-parameter arithmetic atom with no output schema, the description covers definition, edge case, worked outputs (which effectively convey the return value), domain, and payment model. Only error/payment-failure behavior is unspecified, a minor gap at this complexity.

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 0%, so the description must carry the parameter, and it does: it defines n as the integer fed into the digit-power computation, restates the 0–9999999999 domain, and anchors it with six worked input→output examples. The role of n is fully clear, though the domain restatement duplicates the schema's min/max.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a precise verb+resource: it computes the sum of each digit of n raised to itself, with the 0^0=1 convention spelled out. That is unambiguous on its own. It never distinguishes itself from the near-identically named sibling `munchausen` (or `digit_power_sum`), which is the main clarity gap.

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?

There is no statement of when to use this versus `munchausen`, `digit_power_sum`, or `narcissistic`, nor any prerequisite or exclusion. The definition implies its own application, but with a sibling named `munchausen` an agent gets no guidance on routing.

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