fx_try_usd

[PAID $0.002 USDC/call, x402, eip155:8453] Official TRY/USD reference rate: latest European Central Bank fixing (or the official peg when USD 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 provided, the description carries the behavioral burden and does well: it discloses cost and payment mechanics ($0.002 USDC, x402, eip155:8453), the peg-vs-fixing behavior, and that results are deterministic and sourced. It leaves rate limits, failure modes, and error behavior unstated.

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?

A single dense sentence with the payment/network prefix up front and the substantive definition immediately after. Every clause — source, peg handling, returned fields, determinism — carries information, and nothing is padding.

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-argument lookup with no output schema, the description still tells the agent what comes back (rate date, method, source attribution) and how the rate is derived. What remains missing is operational detail such as payment failure handling and response format.

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; baseline 4 applies. The description correctly implies the call is fixed to the TRY/USD pair with no caller-supplied 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?

The description names a precise resource — the official TRY/USD reference rate from the latest ECB fixing, with peg fallback — which is far more specific than the tool name alone. It does not name any sibling (e.g. fx_convert, fx_usd_try, fx_timeseries) as the alternative, so differentiation from the hundreds of adjacent fx_* tools is only implicit.

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: 'latest ... fixing' and 'no estimate' suggest this is for authoritative reference rates rather than amounts conversion or historical series. There is no explicit when-to-use/when-not guidance and no pointer to fx_convert or fx_timeseries for those adjacent needs.

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