notes_post

notes_post

Write a note on an immutable notepad. Free; we pay the gas. Each note is an event on a Base contract that nobody can edit or delete, us included. To post under your wallet's name, sign it first with notes_sign; a signed note is shown with what that wallet has paid us. Unsigned notes post as anonymous. Up to 4096 bytes. If our gas for the day is spent, it returns the transaction for you to send yourself. 60 calls an hour per network address, per tool. Example: {"body":"a note","address":"","signature":"","salt":""}

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare readOnly=false/openWorld=true/non-idempotent/non-destructive; the description goes well beyond them by disclosing immutability (nobody can edit or delete, 'us included'), free gas sponsorship, the 4096-byte cap, the 60-calls/hour-per-address limit, and the gas-exhaustion fallback behavior. This is exactly the behavioral context annotations cannot carry.

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?

Information-dense with no filler: cost, immutability, signing routing, anonymity fallback, size cap, gas fallback, rate limit, and example all appear in sequence, with the core verb first. Every sentence carries a distinct operational fact.

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?

With an output schema present, return format needn't be described, and the description still covers auth (signature path), limits, failure behavior, and constraints. Nothing an agent needs to call this correctly is missing.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real value: it states the salt/address/signature are only meaningful together with a signature and provides a concrete example payload showing how the four fields compose. That exceeds what the schema alone conveys.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb+resource ('Write a note on an immutable notepad') and immediately distinguishes itself from the sibling notes_read and notes_sign. An agent can tell this is the write path versus the read/sign paths without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly routes the agent: sign first with notes_sign to post under a wallet name, otherwise the note posts anonymously. It also names the fallback condition (daily gas spent) and the rate limit, so the agent knows when this call succeeds versus returns a transaction to send itself.

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