Novarithm Agent Hub: trust and commerce checks

fx_cny_qar

[PAID $0.002 USDC/call, x402, eip155:8453] Official CNY/QAR reference rate: latest European Central Bank fixing (or the official peg when QAR 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?

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden, and it delivers materially: the price ($0.002 USDC per call), payment protocol (x402, eip155:8453), and the fact that the response discloses rate date, derivation method, and source. It also asserts the value is deterministic and not an estimate, which is the key trust signal for a rate lookup. It stops short of describing failure/staleness behavior, notably what happens on weekends or ECB holidays when no new fixing exists.

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 sentences, zero filler: the cost/payment preface is bracketed and front-loaded, then the resource and its derivation follow immediately. Every clause (rate date, method, attribution, no estimate) carries information an agent needs.

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 output schema, the description must convey return shape, and it does so by enumerating rate, rate date, method, and source attribution. For a zero-parameter read tool this is nearly sufficient; only staleness/error behavior is unaddressed.

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 beyond the fixed currency pair, which it does state explicitly. Baseline of 4 applies for a parameterless tool.

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 names the exact resource ('Official CNY/QAR reference rate') and its provenance ('latest European Central Bank fixing (or the official peg when QAR is pegged)'), so an agent knows precisely what value it returns. It does not explicitly contrast itself with siblings such as fx_convert, fx_latest, or the cross-rate tools, relying on the pair-specific name to disambiguate.

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 the pair and the word 'reference rate', and the peg fallback clarifies a case where the answer differs from a market rate. There is no explicit when-to-use versus fx_convert (for arithmetic) or fx_latest (for a snapshot of many pairs), and no statement of when the tool is inappropriate.

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