Base Balance: ETH + USDC Onchain Read

base-balance

Read-onlyIdempotent

Read live Base ETH and USDC balance of one address. Use when you only need balances. Not for allowances (use base-allowance-scan) or DeFi context (use defi-base-snapshot). Returns a free sample plus the paid URL and pay steps (no charge here); the full result costs $0.01 Base USDC via x402.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavior: a free sample is returned with the paid URL and pay steps at no charge, and the full result costs $0.01 Base USDC via x402 — the pricing/payment model an agent must know before calling.

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 sentences, each earning its place: purpose, routing, then payment behavior. Purpose and exclusions are front-loaded before the cost detail.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described. Given a single-parameter read tool with full annotation coverage, the description supplies everything needed: scope, alternatives, and the x402 payment model.

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?

One parameter with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema already documents the 0x address input. The description restates "one address" but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema; baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 (read) and resources (live Base ETH and USDC balance) scoped to one address. The sibling list is named and differentiated, so an agent can distinguish this from base-allowance-scan and defi-base-snapshot without opening either 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?

Explicit when-to-use ("Use when you only need balances") plus explicit when-not with two named alternatives for allowances and DeFi context. Routing is unambiguous.

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