notes_sign

notes_sign
Read-onlyIdempotent

The data to sign so a note posts under your wallet's name. Free. Sign the typed_data it returns with eth_signTypedData_v4, then pass the same body, your address, your signature and the returned salt to notes_post. Skip it to post anonymously. 60 calls an hour per network address, per tool. Example: {"body":"a note"}

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive), but the description adds non-redundant context: the call is free, rate-limited to 60 calls/hour per network address per tool, and posts under wallet-name attribution if used. It does not explain failure or error behavior, but the disclosure is strong beyond the annotations.

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?

Dense but front-loaded: purpose first, then workflow, then rate limit, then a concrete example. Every sentence carries information, though the run-on workflow sentence could be split for scanability.

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, the description needn't spell out return values, and it correctly focuses on workflow, cost, rate limit and the anonymous alternative. An agent has everything needed to call notes_sign and route its output correctly.

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 body/salt semantics are already documented; the baseline would be 3. The description adds workflow meaning by tying the body and returned salt to the notes_post call, implying the salt must be reused with the identical body — value beyond the schema.

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?

The description states the tool returns signing data so a note posts under your wallet's name, which is a specific purpose distinguishable from notes_post (which submits) and notes_read. The verb is slightly implicit ('The data to sign') rather than a crisp action verb, but the intent is unambiguous.

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?

It gives explicit workflow routing: sign the returned typed_data with eth_signTypedData_v4, then pass the same body, address, signature and salt to notes_post. It also names the alternative path ('Skip it to post anonymously'), so the when-to-use decision is fully specified.

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