fx_chf_eur

[PAID $0.002 USDC/call, x402, eip155:8453] Official CHF/EUR reference rate: latest European Central Bank fixing (or the official peg when EUR 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
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose cost and payment mechanics ($0.002 USDC/call, x402, eip155:8453), the data source, the derivation method, and that values are sourced rather than estimated. It does not say what happens when no fixing exists (weekends/holidays), whether results are cached, or how staleness is surfaced.

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?

Two compact segments: a bracketed payment tag followed by one dense sentence. Every clause adds information (source, fallback, returned fields, determinism), though the sentence is packed enough that it reads as a list of fields rather than prose.

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?

With no parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description compensates well by naming the returned fields (rate date, method, source attribution) and the data provenance. The remaining gap is failure behavior when the ECB has not published a fixing for the current date.

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 and the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly avoids inventing parameter detail.

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?

States a specific verb+resource: the CHF/EUR reference rate from the European Central Bank, with explicit scope ('latest fixing', peg fallback). The pair-naming convention already distinguishes it from the hundreds of fx_* siblings, and the description confirms the source and unit unambiguously.

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 by the word 'latest', which suggests it is the single-point alternative to fx_timeseries or fx_latest, but no alternative is named and no when-not condition is given. An agent must infer the routing from the tool name alone.

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