Base Tx Explain: Receipt + Basic Decode

base-tx-explain

Read-onlyIdempotent

Decode one Base transaction: from/to/value/status/logs/method selector. Use when you have a tx hash and need what it did. Not for wallet-wide views (use base-balance). Returns a free sample plus the paid URL and pay steps (no charge here); the full result costs $0.02 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 cover safety (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), but the description adds material behavior beyond them: the call returns only a free sample plus a paid URL and pay steps, no charge is incurred here, and the full result costs $0.02 Base USDC via x402. That payment/partial-result behavior is exactly what an agent needs and cannot infer from annotations.

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 compact sentences that front-load the decode scope, then the routing condition, then the payment behavior. No filler, and each sentence carries distinct information.

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 no explanation, annotations carry the safety profile, and the description fills the remaining gap (payment flow, partial result). Nothing an agent needs to invoke this correctly is missing.

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 'query' as the 0x tx hash. The description's 'tx hash' phrasing aligns with but does not extend the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

Specific verb ('Decode') plus specific resource ('one Base transaction') and it enumerates the decoded fields: from/to/value/status/logs/method selector. It also names the sibling it is not (base-balance), so an agent can route 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?

Gives the trigger condition ('when you have a tx hash and need what it did') and an explicit exclusion with the alternative named ('Not for wallet-wide views (use base-balance)'). Both when-to-use and when-not-to-use are stated.

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