fx_sek_xof

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

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does well: it discloses the $0.002 USDC per-call x402 payment on eip155:8453, the ECB provenance, the fallback to an official peg, the rate date, method, and source attribution. It also states that results are deterministic and not estimated, though it does not detail response shape or freshness guarantees beyond 'latest'.

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?

The description is a single, dense sentence that efficiently covers cost, source, fallback behavior, and determinism. The payment bracket is front-loaded rather than the core purpose, but the wording is not wasteful and remains easy to scan.

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-parameter lookup with no output schema, the description is nearly complete: it specifies the data source, peg fallback, rate date, method, attribution, and payment requirements. A minor gap is that it does not clarify quote direction or units beyond the pair name.

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 are no parameter semantics to document. The baseline for a zero-parameter tool is 4, and nothing in the description contradicts or complicates that.

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 currency pair and states it returns the official SEK/XOF reference rate from the ECB or an official peg. It clearly distinguishes this from an estimated rate, but it does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools such as fx_convert, fx_latest, or fx_timeseries.

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: an agent looking for the official SEK/XOF reference rate would use this tool. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to prefer fx_convert, fx_latest, fx_timeseries, or the many other pair-specific tools, nor any when-not-to-use conditions.

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