fx_aud_jpy

[PAID $0.002 USDC/call, x402, eip155:8453] Official AUD/JPY reference rate: latest European Central Bank fixing (or the official peg when JPY is pegged), with the rate date, the method (direct, cross via EUR or peg-derived) and the source attribution. Deterministic, sourced, no estimate.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does well: it discloses the paid model ($0.002 USDC/call, x402, eip155:8453), the authoritative source, the derivation method (direct, cross via EUR, or peg-derived), and guarantees determinism with no estimation. It omits freshness/update cadence, error behavior on unavailable fixings, and rate limits.

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?

Two tight clauses: the payment/transport preamble first, then a single dense sentence covering source, date, method, attribution and determinism. No filler, and the cost — the highest-risk fact for an agent — is front-loaded.

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 zero-parameter, no-output-schema tool, the description supplies most of what an agent needs: data source, rate date, derivation method and attribution. The notable gap is the quotation direction (AUD per JPY vs JPY per AUD), which the agent cannot infer with certainty and which no schema or output schema clarifies.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly implies the pair and source are fixed by the tool identity rather than supplied by the caller.

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?

Names a specific resource and scope: 'Official AUD/JPY reference rate: latest European Central Bank fixing', plus the fallback case (official peg when JPY is pegged). The pair is unambiguous, so an agent can tell it apart from the other fx_<base>_<quote> siblings by name alone. It stops short of explicitly routing to fx_convert or fx_timeseries for conversion or history.

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?

Usage is implied by 'latest ECB fixing' and 'no estimate' — this is the authoritative spot reference, not a computed conversion. There is no explicit when-to-use/when-not-to-use statement and no named alternative such as fx_convert for arithmetic or fx_timeseries for historical series, which matters given hundreds of sibling tools.

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