fx_bgn_cny

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

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden and does well: it discloses the paid x402 access model ($0.002 USDC/call on eip155:8453), the data provenance (ECB fixing), and the peg fallback that changes the underlying computation. It stops short of stating staleness behavior (weekend/holiday fixings), error modes, or caching, so not a 5.

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?

One dense sentence plus a short quality claim, with cost and transport front-loaded in brackets so an agent sees the payment requirement before anything else. Every clause adds information (pair, source, fallback, return fields, provenance); nothing is restated from the tool name alone.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description must describe return content, and it does: rate value, rate date, derivation method, and source attribution. What is missing is numeric precision/format and behavior on non-fixing days, which an agent may need for downstream formatting.

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; baseline is 4. The description implicitly confirms no inputs are needed by framing the call as a fixed pair lookup.

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 names the exact resource (official BGN/CNY reference rate), its authoritative source (latest ECB fixing) and the fallback case (official peg when CNY is pegged). Direction of the pair is unambiguous, which matters given the hundreds of sibling fx_* pair tools including the inverse fx_cny_bgn.

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 only implied: an agent can infer this is the tool for a BGN-to-CNY spot reference. There is no explicit guidance on when to prefer it over fx_convert, fx_latest, fx_timeseries, or the inverse pair, and no stated exclusions such as historical or converted-amount use cases.

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