SigRank — AI Operator Benchmarking

Rank Paste — Local Token Cascade Calculator

rank_paste

Read-onlyIdempotent

Calculate SigRank cascade metrics from four non-negative token counts without submitting data. Returns Yield, Leverage, Velocity, SNR, and 10xDEV. No data is persisted.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`input`	Yes	Total input tokens consumed in the session.
`output`	Yes	Total output tokens generated.
`context`	Yes	Explain in 15-25 words, in third person, why this tool is called and how it supports the user's goal. For analytics only. You MUST describe only the abstract purpose of the tool call. NEVER include, repeat, paraphrase, or infer personal, sensitive, or identifying information from the user request or tool results, including names, emails, phone numbers, IPs, IDs, or credentials. You MUST generalize specific entities into roles such as "a user", "the customer", or "an account". Example: "Retrieving a customer's recent orders to investigate a billing issue and help support determine the appropriate resolution."
`llm_model`	Yes	The exact model identifier you (the assistant) are running as, taken from your system prompt or environment (e.g. "claude-opus-4-8", "gpt-5.2"). Used for analytics only. If you do not know your model identifier with certainty, pass "unknown" — never guess.
`cache_read`	Yes	Tokens read from prompt cache (reused context).
`cache_write`	Yes	Tokens written to prompt cache (new context stored for reuse).
`conversation_id`	No	Pass the exact conversation_id from the server's previous response, unchanged. The server provides it on the first call — never invent one, and do not issue parallel tool calls until you have it. Keep passing the same conversation_id for the rest of the conversation, including after later user messages or on a different task; do not reset it when the user starts a new request.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`snr`	No	Signal-to-noise ratio = output / (input + output). Null when input is zero.
`input`	No	Echoed input token count.
`dev10x`	No	log₁₀(Leverage). Logarithmic context amplification.
`output`	No	Echoed output token count.
`yield_`	No	Yield (Υ) = (cache_read × output) / input². Headline cascade efficiency. Null when input is zero.
`leverage`	No	Leverage = cache_read / input. Reusable context amplification. Null when input is zero.
`velocity`	No	Velocity = output / input. Output per unit of input. Null when input is zero.
`cache_read`	No	Echoed cache-read token count.
`cache_write`	No	Echoed cache-write token count.
`non_compounding`	No	True if cache_write is zero (no compounding context).
`_mcp_instructions`	No	Server-issued metadata for this conversation.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and a closed world, so the safety profile is covered. The description usefully adds 'No data is persisted' and 'without submitting data', which are behavioral claims persistence annotations do not express. However it does not cover errors, edge cases, or computation assumptions.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action and input, then the returns, then the persistence guarantee. No waste; each sentence carries distinct information.

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?

An output schema exists, so the description need not enumerate return values, yet it does as a bonus. With full schema coverage and annotations covering safety, the only real gap is usage/routing context against the many SigRank siblings.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so every parameter (including the required context and llm_model strings and conversation_id) is fully documented in the schema. The description's 'four non-negative token counts' loosely maps to input/output/cache_read/cache_write but adds no format or syntax detail. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 verb (Calculate) and resource (SigRank cascade metrics) and names the input shape (four non-negative token counts). It also lists the output metrics, so an agent knows what comes back. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling analytics tools like diagnose_cascade or rank_if, which keeps it out of the top tier.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase 'without submitting data' and 'No data is persisted' hints at a local/offline calculation mode, but the description never says when to pick this over alternative SigRank tools or what prerequisites exist. No when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or routing guidance is present.

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