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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond that: it is a paid call ($0.50 USDC), it reports attestation-style diligence data, and it optionally enriches results with CDP Bazaar listing metadata. No contradiction with annotations exists.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences with no filler: the first fronts the trigger condition and the reported metrics, the second covers the optional parameter and cost. Every clause adds information an agent needs.

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

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

For a two-parameter, read-only paid tool with no output schema, the description is largely complete: it states the input scope, the outputs, the optional behavior, and the cost. It does not discuss edge cases like wallets that have not paid Stratalize or failure modes, but those are not essential for basic correct invocation.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description carries the parameter-semantics burden. It clarifies that wallet_address applies to wallets that have paid Stratalize, and it explains that resource_url is optional and used for CDP Bazaar listing metadata. It does not specify formats like checksummed addresses or URL normalization, but it gives enough meaning for correct invocation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific use case — attested know-your-agent diligence on inbound x402 traffic to Stratalize — and names concrete reported outputs: settlement count, tool-call concentration, cadence, traffic classification, and sweep-bot heuristics. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like get_x402_seller_statement by focusing on inbound traffic and paid-wallet analysis rather than seller statements.

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

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

The description opens with 'Use when you need...', giving an explicit trigger condition for when the tool is appropriate. It does not name alternatives or exclusion criteria, but the use case is specific enough that an agent can decide when to select it.

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