Base DeFi Snapshot: Balances + Gas + Protocol TVL/APY

defi-base-snapshot

Read-onlyIdempotent

Snapshot Base DeFi state: ETH+USDC balances, base fee/block and protocol TVL/APY proxies. Use when you need a one-call Base market/wallet context. Not for a single balance (use base-balance) or one tx (use base-tx-explain). Returns a free sample plus the paid URL and pay steps (no charge here); the full result costs $0.03 Base USDC via x402.

A4.7/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), and the description adds materially new behavior: it returns a free sample plus paid URL and pay steps, with no charge on this call, while the full result costs $0.03 Base USDC via x402. Payment gating is exactly the non-obvious operational context an agent needs before invoking.

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 tight sentences, front-loaded with the snapshot contents, then routing, then the payment model. No filler and no repetition of the title.

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-value detail is not needed. The description covers scope, alternatives, and the free-vs-paid x402 flow, which is everything required to call it correctly.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the single optional parameter is already documented ('optional 0x address'), leaving the description nothing to add beyond what the schema states. Baseline 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 and resource ('Snapshot Base DeFi state: ETH+USDC balances, base fee/block and protocol TVL/APY proxies') and explicitly differentiates from siblings base-balance and base-tx-explain. An agent can select it 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?

Gives an explicit trigger ('when you need a one-call Base market/wallet context') plus exclusions naming the correct alternatives for single-balance and single-tx cases. This is the full when/when-not/alternatives pattern.

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