fx_xaf_try

[PAID $0.002 USDC/call, x402, eip155:8453] Official XAF/TRY reference rate: latest European Central Bank fixing (or the official peg when TRY 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 supplied, the description carries the full burden and does well: it discloses the paid x402 cost and network, the upstream source (ECB), a fallback rule for pegged TRY, and what metadata accompanies the rate (rate date, derivation method, attribution). It stops short of error behavior, caching, or freshness guarantees for the fixing.

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?

Two compact sentences with no filler, and the pricing/x402 banner is a legitimate upfront constraint. The payment metadata does precede the actual purpose, which slightly buries the lede for an agent skimming.

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 scalar lookup with no output schema, the description covers source, derivation method, fallback branch, and returned fields — enough to call correctly. Missing only operational details such as fixing publication cadence or staleness bounds.

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; the currency pair is fixed by the tool name and the response shape is described instead.

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?

States a specific resource (the official XAF/TRY reference rate) with the exact sourcing model: ECB fixing, or the official peg when TRY is pegged. The pair itself is only conveyed by the name, and the description never mentions the obvious siblings (fx_convert, fx_latest, other fx_xaf_* pairs) it should be distinguished from.

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' signal this is for authoritative spot reference rates, not conversions or historical series. There is no explicit when-not statement 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.
