fx_pln_aud

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

A4.1/5.0
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 model ($0.002 USDC/call via x402 on eip155:8453), the data source and method (ECB fixing, cross via EUR, or peg-derived), and states results are deterministic and non-estimated. It does not cover failure modes (what happens if no fixing exists for a date) or 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One dense sentence, front-loaded with the payment/transport tag then the purpose and returned fields; no filler. The bracket prefix is somewhat telegraphic but carries essential cost information for an agent deciding whether to call.

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-param tool with no output schema, the description covers what is returned (rate, rate date, method, source attribution) and the pricing/payment requirement, which is enough to call correctly. It stops short of describing the exact response shape or behavior when no fixing is available.

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 to disambiguate and the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly implies the pair is fixed in the tool identity rather than passed as an argument.

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 resource (PLN/AUD reference rate) plus its provenance (latest ECB fixing, or official peg where pegged) and the returned attributes. The pair is unambiguous and clearly distinct from the hundreds of sibling fx_* pair tools, and from fx_convert/fx_timeseries which serve different purposes.

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 'reference rate' — you call it to obtain a single official PLN/AUD fixing — but the description never says when to prefer it over fx_convert (actual conversion), fx_latest (multi-pair snapshot) or fx_timeseries (history). No exclusions or alternatives are named.

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