Facilitator Dry-Run: Would CDP Accept This 402 Envelope?

facilitator-dry-run

Read-onlyIdempotent

Dry-run an x402 payment payload + requirements against the facilitator /verify path before going live. Use when you build an x402 seller and want to know if payments will verify. Not for auditing a receipt after payment (use payment-receipt-auditor). Returns a free sample plus the paid URL and pay steps (no charge here); the full result costs $0.05 Base USDC via x402.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint/idempotent/non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds material context beyond them: it returns a free sample plus the paid URL and pay steps, and the full result costs $0.05 Base USDC via x402. It does not cover rate limits or auth details, but the two-tier pricing behavior is the key disclosure.

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 with no waste: purpose and mechanism first, then usage routing, then the pricing/return behavior. Every sentence earns its place and nothing is buried.

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 explained, yet the description still summarizes the response shape and cost. Combined with explicit usage routing and a precise purpose statement, an agent has everything needed to select and invoke it.

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 there is a single 'query' parameter, so the schema already carries the burden. The description echoes the payload/requirements content of that parameter but adds no format or syntax detail beyond it, making the baseline 3 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 (dry-run) and resource (x402 payment payload + requirements against the facilitator /verify path), and explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling payment-receipt-auditor. An agent can identify this tool without opening the 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 explicit when-to-use ('when you build an x402 seller and want to know if payments will verify') and an explicit when-not with the named alternative ('Not for auditing a receipt after payment (use payment-receipt-auditor)'). Routing is unambiguous.

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