A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only and open-world access. The description adds real value beyond that by naming upstream sources (Kraken, Yahoo) and flagging Brent/TTF as labelled — a data-provenance caveat an agent needs. It stops short of freshness/caching or rate-limit behavior.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the data payload, then the usage trigger. Every clause carries information and nothing is repeated from the schema.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no parameters and no output schema, the description must convey what comes back, and it does: instruments, quote currency, and computed fields. Missing only update cadence and whether prices are cached or snapshotted.

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?

Zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. Nothing about the call needs parameter explanation, and the description correctly spends its space on output content instead.

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?

States exactly what is returned: EUR spot prices for seven named assets with 24h change, spread and 7d range, plus Brent/TTF. The asset list and field list make it distinguishable from analysis-oriented siblings like get_macro or get_current_regime, though no sibling is named explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

"Call this when you need real current prices" gives a clear selection condition, and the enumerated asset coverage implies scope. No explicit exclusions or pointers to alternatives for historical or non-listed assets.

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