fx_xof_mxn

[PAID $0.002 USDC/call, x402, eip155:8453] Official XOF/MXN reference rate: latest European Central Bank fixing (or the official peg when MXN 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 full burden and does well: it discloses the pay-per-call cost ($0.002 USDC via x402 on eip155:8453), the authoritative source (ECB fixing), peg-vs-fixing fallback behavior, and that results are deterministic with no estimate. It also names the returned metadata (rate date, derivation method, source attribution). It stops short of explaining staleness on non-fixing days or rate precision.

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?

A single dense sentence with no wasted clauses; the payment terms are bracketed out front and the substantive data description follows. Slightly overloaded with parenthetical detail, but every element carries information an agent needs.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter rate lookup with no output schema, the description covers the remaining gaps: source authority, derivation method, peg handling, cost, and determinism. There is little else an agent would need before calling it.

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 beyond the pair already fixed by the name. Baseline 4 applies for a no-argument tool.

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 and scope: 'Official XOF/MXN reference rate' with the ECB as the source. An agent can identify the exact currency pair and provenance without opening the schema. It does not name a sibling like fx_latest or fx_convert, so differentiation is left to the pair encoded in the tool name.

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 the pair-specific naming rather than stated: call this to obtain the XOF/MXN rate. There is no explicit guidance on when to prefer fx_latest, fx_convert, or fx_timeseries, nor when a cross rate should be substituted.

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