fx_chf_pln

[PAID $0.002 USDC/call, x402, eip155:8453] Official CHF/PLN reference rate: latest European Central Bank fixing (or the official peg when PLN 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 at all, the description carries the full burden and does a solid job: it discloses the paid x402/USDC pricing and chain (eip155:8453), the deterministic ECB-sourced nature, the peg fallback, and explicitly warns 'no estimate'. It stops short of covering failure behavior, staleness/caching, or what happens if the fixing is unavailable.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the pricing/transport tag followed immediately by the resource and then the returned fields. Every clause adds information: currency pair, source, peg fallback, output components, and the no-estimate guarantee.

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 compensates by enumerating the returned fields (rate date, method, source attribution). For a zero-parameter, single-value lookup that is nearly sufficient; only the exact response shape and error conditions remain unstated.

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 applies. The pair is encoded in the name and confirmed in the first clause, so an agent cannot mis-invoke it with wrong arguments.

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?

States a specific resource ('Official CHF/PLN reference rate') and its provenance ('latest European Central Bank fixing'), which is far more than the name alone conveys. It implicitly separates itself from fx_convert by calling out a reference rate rather than a conversion, but never names that sibling or fx_latest explicitly.

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 rather than stated: the reader can infer this is the tool for the CHF/PLN spot reference rate, and the peg fallback note clarifies an edge case. There is no explicit when-not guidance, no pointer to fx_convert for amount conversion or fx_latest/fx_timeseries for other shapes, and no note that it returns only the current fixing.

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