fx_usd_idr

[PAID $0.002 USDC/call, x402, eip155:8453] Official USD/IDR reference rate: latest European Central Bank fixing (or the official peg when IDR 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, the description carries the burden and does well: it discloses the payment terms ($0.002 USDC/call, x402, eip155:8453), the upstream source (ECB fixing), and the fallback behavior when IDR is pegged (peg-derived rate). It does not state quote convention (IDR per USD), precision/rounding, or how stale a fixing may be before it is returned.

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: the cost/transport tag is front-loaded, then the substance (source, fallback, returned fields, determinism claim). Every clause adds information and nothing is repeated.

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, no-output-schema tool the description does the necessary work by enumerating the returned components (rate, date, method, attribution) and the pricing model. Missing only the unit/quote direction and precision, which matter for an FX value with no schema to fall back on.

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 the baseline of 4 applies; there is nothing for the description to disambiguate at call time. It correctly avoids inventing parameter guidance for a no-arg endpoint.

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 ('Official USD/IDR reference rate') and states what is returned (rate date, method, source attribution), which cleanly separates it from the other ~600 pair-specific fx_* tools. It stops short of differentiating from the non-pair siblings fx_convert, fx_latest and fx_timeseries, so it is clear but not fully sibling-routing.

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 only implied: 'Deterministic, sourced, no estimate' hints this is the authoritative/reference call rather than an approximate conversion, but there is no explicit when-to-use, when-not, or pointer to fx_convert for amount conversion or fx_timeseries for history. An agent must infer the routing itself.

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