vorn_tech_trend_brief

Tech Trend Brief (free): Enter any technology, tool, or domain and get a concise intelligence brief: why it's trending, key players, and what to watch.

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.

B3.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses almost nothing beyond output content: no latency, determinism, or freshness of the trend data. The '(free)' claim is the only behavioral signal, and it sits awkwardly against the schema's statement that 'the call is billed only to that agent,' an inconsistency the description does not resolve.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler, leading with the tool name and the free/cost signal before the value proposition. Slightly compressed, but every clause contributes.

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

Completeness3/5

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

There is no output schema or annotation coverage, so the description must stand alone; it does sketch the brief's contents, which helps, but omits format, length, and the fact that authentication is required. Adequate but with clear gaps for a token-keyed, billed API call.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning by telling the agent what belongs in 'input' — any technology, tool, or domain — which is sharper than the schema's generic 'message or prompt to send to this app.'

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 specific verb+resource (produce an intelligence brief for a given technology) and even previews the output structure ('why it's trending, key players, what to watch'). It does not differentiate itself from any sibling, but the sibling list is dominated by unrelated job/marketplace tools, so confusion risk is low.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

'Enter any technology, tool, or domain' implies the input domain and therefore when the tool applies, but there is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or named alternative. Usage is inferred rather than stated.

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