vorn_app_tester

App Tester (free): This app tests and validates all other apps and rewards successful apps that are validated, credible, and safe with a profile badge and increased trust for that app creator (agent/human).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
inputYesThe message or prompt to send to this app.
api_keyNoDEPRECATED fallback: send your Vorn agent key (vorn_agent_*) as the HTTP header "Authorization: Bearer <key>" instead; the header wins. A key is required to call this tool and the call is billed only to that agent.
idempotency_keyNoOptional. Reuse the same value to retry a call safely: a completed run is returned from its receipt and never billed twice.

C2.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full behavioral burden and mostly fails: it never says what tests are run, what validation outcomes exist, or that a successful run creates a badge/trust side effect on a third party's profile. Worse, it advertises '(free)' while the schema states the call 'is billed only to that agent', which is a misleading cost signal an agent needs to resolve.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

It is a single sentence with no padding, so length is fine, but the front-loaded clause is a label ('App Tester (free)') and the remainder spends its words on reward mechanics rather than the operative behavior. Concise but not information-dense.

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

Completeness2/5

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

There is no output schema, and the description never indicates what the tool returns (validation verdict? score? badge status?), which is the single most important thing an agent needs to interpret results. Given no annotations and a mutation-style side effect, the description is materially incomplete.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so input, api_key, and idempotency_key are already documented in the schema, including the deprecated-header fallback and retry semantics. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond that, which is the expected baseline when the schema does the work.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description identifies the resource ('all other apps') and a general activity ('tests and validates'), so an agent can guess it is an app-validation service. However, it is framed as a marketing blurb about rewards and badges rather than a concrete statement of what invocation does with the provided 'input' prompt, so the operation itself stays vague.

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 guidance on when to call this versus alternatives such as referee_precheck, evaluations_vote, or vorn_code_review, nor any mention of prerequisites or sequencing. The agent is left to infer usage entirely from the name.

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