Tanod Chain

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

Annotations already establish the safe read-only, idempotent profile, and the description goes well beyond them: USD 0.005 pricing, free-tier quota (3 scans / 30 checks per IP per UTC day), p95 ~1 s and max ~4 s latency, 10-minute result caching, and the failure semantics ('if the chain cannot be read the call fails and is not charged'). The heuristic limitations and specific risk signals detected are unusual, valuable disclosure.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose, then routing, then returns, then cost/limits/limitations in a logical order. It is long and packs in a pricing figure and docs URL that are useful but not strictly needed for invocation, keeping it just short of a clean 5.

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

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

Even though an output schema exists, the description summarizes the return shape (verdict enum, risk_score 0-100, plain-language reasons) with concrete examples. Combined with cost, latency, caching, and failure behavior, an agent has everything needed to decide whether and how to call it.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with a documented enum on chain, so the schema already carries both parameters. The description restates the supported chains and the address's role but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('check an address for risk') and pins the exact moment of use ('right before you send a transaction to it, approve it, or buy its token'). It explicitly names two siblings it is not (scan_contract_address, check_token_honeypot), 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.

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

Gives explicit when-to-use triggers plus named alternatives with the condition that selects each: full verified-source scan goes to scan_contract_address, sellability goes to check_token_honeypot. It also states the scope limits ('Heuristic, not an audit', 'a low verdict is not a clearance'), which is exclusions-level guidance.

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

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, open-world, non-destructive behavior. The description adds substantial context beyond that: the exact list and date basis, false-negative caveat, compliance limitations, verification link, latency, price, and free-tier limit. Nothing contradicts the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads the core purpose and alternatives, then packs caveats, limits, and pricing into a single dense paragraph. Every sentence carries operational information, though the result is long and could be more scannable.

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

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

Given the tool's screening complexity, single-address schema, existing output schema, and safety annotations, the description covers scope, alternatives, limitations, timing, cost, and verification guidance. It omits nothing material for correct selection or invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema covers the address parameter at 100% with a description and pattern. The description adds matching semantics: EVM/bech32 addresses match case-insensitively while base58 BTC, TRX, and other formats must be provided exactly as listed, useful for correct input formatting. It does not restate the schema's length/pattern constraints.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: screen one crypto address against the US OFAC SDN digital-currency list. It explicitly names the sibling tools check_sanctions_batch and check_address_poisoning and distinguishes single-address vs lookalike use cases, so an agent can select it without opening schemas.

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

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

Explicitly routes to alternatives: use check_sanctions_batch for up to 1,000 addresses and check_address_poisoning for lookalikes. It also states scope (OFAC SDN digital-currency addresses only), that a non-match does not clear, and that this is not legal advice or full compliance.

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

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), yet the description adds substantive context the annotations cannot: 0.2-1 s latency, USD 0.003 price, a 10-reads-per-IP-per-day free tier, and an explicit warning to treat returned page text and on-chain strings as untrusted data. That is exactly the value-add expected when annotations carry the safety burden.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose and disambiguation are front-loaded, followed by a compact block of input, behavior, timing, price/quota, and safety notes. Every clause carries operational information and nothing is repeated.

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

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

For a paid, state-touching-adjacent decode tool this is complete: it covers inputs, no-signature behavior, latency, cost, quota, and untrusted-data handling, and an output schema already exists to carry return-value structure. No gaps an agent would need to call it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3 and the schema already documents both parameters. The description still adds semantics the schema does not: omitting `signature` triggers a selector lookup and returns every candidate that decodes cleanly, which materially changes how an agent should read the result.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a specific verb+resource ('decode EVM transaction calldata') and immediately positions it against sibling tools by pointing read calls to eth_call and transaction fetches to get_transaction. An agent can tell this apart from the many other decode_* siblings without opening a schema.

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

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

It explicitly routes two adjacent tasks elsewhere (eth_call for read calls, get_transaction for fetching a transaction), which is clear when-not-to-use guidance. However, the nearest sibling, decode_tx_logs, is never differentiated, so an agent decoding on-chain data still has to infer the boundary between calldata and logs.

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

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

Annotations already declare read-only, open-world, idempotent, non-destructive behavior, but the description adds substantial operational context: return shape, 200-log cap, signature-only decoding caveat, not_found charging behavior, 5xx non-charging, latency, price, free-tier limits, and untrusted-data handling.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The purpose is front-loaded, followed immediately by the alternative tool. Every subsequent clause earns its place by covering return values, decode limitations, billing/error behavior, latency, pricing, security handling, and docs.

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

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

For a two-parameter read tool with full schema coverage, annotations, and an output schema, the description is complete enough to invoke and interpret correctly. It covers routing, decoding caveats, error semantics, cost, and trust boundaries.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both parameters are fully documented in the schema. The description repeats the supported chain names but adds no format or semantic detail beyond the enum and hash pattern already present, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: decode a transaction's event logs on named chains. It distinguishes itself from the sibling get_event_logs by specifying that block-range event retrieval belongs there, so an agent can route correctly 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.

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

It explicitly gives the alternative for block-range queries: use get_event_logs. It also provides usage caution for interpreting decoded events by signature rather than contract identity, which is exactly the context needed to avoid misuse.

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

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

Annotations already declare read-only/idempotent/non-destructive, but the description goes well beyond them: the exact read procedure (code, EIP-1967/1822/OZ legacy slots, slot 0, one multicall), the staleness caveat that an upgradeable proxy's implementation can change after the read, the 5xx-and-not-charged behavior on malformed node answers, typical latency (1-4 s), price (USD 0.002) and a free tier (10 reads per IP per UTC day).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the purpose and the sibling exclusion, then a compact chain of procedural detail, caveats, and pricing. Dense but every sentence earns its place; the long `kind` enumeration is the only borderline element and it materially aids interpretation.

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

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

Despite an output schema existing, the description covers everything an agent needs to call this correctly and interpret it: classification kinds, return fields, staleness caveat, failure semantics, cost, rate limits, and a docs link. Nothing material is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the schema documents both `chain` (with enum) and `address` (with pattern/length), so the schema already carries the parameter burden. The description adds no parameter-level detail (no enum values restated, no address format guidance), so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource ('detect whether a contract is a proxy, and of which kind') and immediately distinguishes itself from the closest sibling: 'For code size and hash use get_contract_code.' An agent can pick it out of the very large sibling list without opening a schema.

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

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

It explicitly routes the code-size/hash use case to get_contract_code and describes the trigger context (you want proxy classification and implementation/admin/beacon). It does not, however, address when this is preferable to siblings like scan_contract_source, check_contract_before_interaction, or get_storage_at, so the guidance is clear but not exhaustive.

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

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

Annotations already declare read-only/idempotent/non-destructive, but the description adds material context beyond them: nothing is signed or sent, reverting transactions return 422 and are not charged, invalid input 422s before payment, RPC reads cached up to 30 s, estimation is against latest block so real cost can differ, typical latency under 1 s.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose, then routing, then behavior, pricing and limits — every block is useful. It loses a point for redundancy: 'Nothing is signed or sent' appears twice and the chain list is restated in the closing sentence.

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

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 names the returned fields (`gas`, `gas_with_20pct_buffer`). Error modes, pricing, free-tier limits, caching, latency and supported chains are all covered — complete for a paid RPC-read tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema baseline is 3, but the description adds genuine semantics beyond it: the `to`-or-`data` requirement, that omitting `to` with `data` estimates a contract creation, and that `from` affects balance and allowance checks.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (estimate gas) and resource (a transaction) plus the exact chains supported, and immediately distinguishes itself from `get_gas` (gas price) and `transfer_preflight` (whole transfer check). An agent can route 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.

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

Explicitly names the two alternatives and the condition that selects each: `get_gas` for price, `transfer_preflight` for a full transfer check. It also states the within-tool rule 'send `to` or `data`', so the agent knows when the call is valid.

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

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

Goes well beyond the annotations (which already cover readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive) with operational detail: nothing is signed or sent, a revert is a 422 that is not charged, oversized results are a 502, old blocks require an archive node and may fail, reads are cached up to 30 s, typical latency under 1 s, and the price/free-tier model.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose, then alternatives, then payload semantics, then error/pricing facts — a sensible order. Minor waste from restating the chain list and the read-only/nothing-signed assertion twice ('nothing is signed or sent' appears in two separate clauses).

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

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

Given an output schema exists, the description correctly avoids enumerating return fields but still warns that `result`/`result_bytes` are raw ABI-encoded and undecoded. Error codes, payment behavior, caching and latency are all covered, so an agent has everything needed to call and interpret it.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description earns extra by explaining block-tag semantics and the archive-node failure mode for old block numbers, plus the meaning of `to` as contract-or-account. It does not restate the field-level hex patterns, which the schema already carries.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Call a smart contract function read-only') with an explicit scope of supported chains. It actively distinguishes itself from siblings by naming estimate_gas, get_storage_at and decode_calldata, so an agent can route without opening any other schema.

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

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

Gives explicit when-not paths: use estimate_gas for gas units, get_storage_at for a raw storage slot. It also pre-empts the most likely mis-selection by clarifying that the result is not decoded and that decode_calldata handles calldata, not return values. Nothing is left to inference.

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

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world, but the description adds substantial operational context beyond them: 30 s RPC caching, 422 validation errors issued before payment, no charge on bad input, sub-1s typical latency, price and free-tier limits, and what 'pending' actually reflects (mempool).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads purpose and sibling routing in the first two sentences, then layers behavioral and commercial details compactly. The pricing/rate-limit/docs tail is dense but each clause carries information; only minor trimming is possible.

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

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 documentation is not required, yet the description still names the returned fields (nonce, nonce_hex). Combined with chain scope, validation behavior, cost model, and latency, an agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents every parameter including the block enum's mempool semantics and the address pattern. The description largely restates the 'pending' behavior rather than adding new parameter guidance, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (get) and resource (an account's transaction count / nonce), names the three supported chains, and explicitly distinguishes itself from transfer_preflight and get_block_number. An agent can identify the right 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.

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

Gives explicit routing rules: use transfer_preflight for next nonce with balance and gas checks, use get_block_number for chain head. Also narrows chain scope to Ethereum/Base/Robinhood only, so when-not-to-use is covered.

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

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

Annotations cover safety (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, non-destructive), and the description adds context annotations cannot: 422 for non-readable ERC-20, 5xx for malformed node answers, that neither is charged, typical latency 0.2-1s, price $0.002, the 10 free reads/IP/day quota, and a prompt-injection caution about returned on-chain strings.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose and the sibling routing are front-loaded in the first two sentences; the rest is dense but each clause carries distinct operational value (error codes, price, quota, security note). Slightly run-on, but nothing is filler.

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

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

For a paid, cross-chain read tool this covers everything an agent needs: scope, alternative, failure semantics, cost, rate limit, latency, and an output-trust warning. An output schema exists, so return-shape explanation is correctly omitted.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% with regex patterns and an enum, so all four parameters are already fully documented. The description adds only the chain list, which duplicates the enum. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (read) and resource (ERC-20 allowance) plus the exact supported chains, and names the sibling to use for a different need (audit_token_approvals). An agent can tell it apart from get_balance or audit_token_approvals without opening a schema.

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

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

Explicitly routes the alternative case: 'For every live approval of a wallet use audit_token_approvals.' Combined with chain scope and the free-tier/price note, the agent knows when this tool is the right call and when it is not.

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

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld), and the description adds substantial context beyond them: latency (0.2-1 s), price (USD 0.002), a free tier (10 chain reads per IP per UTC day), the exact return shape, and a security caveat that token symbols and on-chain/page text are untrusted. This is rich behavioral disclosure.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose, then alternatives, return format, cost/latency, and the untrusted-data caveat in roughly priority order. Slightly dense with pricing/free-tier/security lines, but each earns its place; only minor overlap between the symbol warning and the untrusted-data line.

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

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

An output schema exists and the description still summarizes returns (wei + formatted, or symbol/decimals/raw/formatted). Combined with pricing, latency, free-tier and security context, nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so chain, token and address are already fully documented in the schema; the description notes ERC-20 vs native semantics consistent with the schema but adds no syntax or format detail beyond it. Baseline 3 is appropriate 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.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource (read native or ERC-20 balance of an address) and scopes the chains (Ethereum, Base, Robinhood Chain). Distinguishes itself from siblings by explicitly naming get_portfolio (multiple tokens) and get_solana_balance (Solana), so an agent can route 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.

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

Explicitly gives alternatives and the selecting condition: use get_portfolio for several tokens at once, get_solana_balance for Solana. This is exactly the when-to-use vs alternative guidance the dimension rewards.

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

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, non-destructive), and the description layers on operational facts they cannot express: ~0.2-1 s latency, USD 0.001 price, and a 10-reads-per-IP-per-UTC-day free tier. It also flags that returned page text and on-chain strings must be treated as untrusted data, a real injection-risk disclosure for an open-world read.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Dense and front-loaded: purpose first, then sibling routing, then cost/latency, then the safety note. Every clause carries information, though the 'chainpeek:' prefix duplicates the title and the docs URL is marginal.

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

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

With an output schema present, return-value explanation is unnecessary, and the description covers the remaining agent-relevant unknowns: which chains, the alternative tools, cost, rate limits, latency, and untrusted-content handling. Nothing needed to invoke it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with a single enumerated chain parameter, so the schema already fully documents the input. The description lists the supported chains but adds no format or semantic detail beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('read the latest block header'), names the exact chains supported, and explicitly sets itself apart from get_block_number and get_block_at_time. An agent can distinguish it from all three sibling block tools 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.

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

Gives explicit routing rules: use get_block_number 'for height and age only' and get_block_at_time 'for a past time', which is exactly the when-to-use/when-not-to-use guidance the sibling set demands. Nothing about tool selection is left to inference.

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

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

Goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing return semantics ('block' and 'next_block', or 'is_latest: true'), error behavior (422 before genesis and 5xx are not charged), latency (~1-3 s / 3-6 reads), pricing, free-tier limits, and docs. This is rich behavioral context for a paid read-only API.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The purpose is front-loaded and every sentence carries operational information: return shape, error cases, timing, cost, and docs. It is slightly dense and could be structured with bullets, but remains efficient and non-redundant.

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

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

Covers what an agent needs: supported chains, alternative tool for latest block, return fields, error conditions, latency, pricing, free-tier limits, and docs. Even with an output schema present, the description provides sufficient context to invoke it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents chain enum and timestamp formats. The description adds chain names and the Base genesis edge case, but no timestamp syntax beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: 'find the block at a point in time' on named chains. It distinguishes the tool from the sibling get_block_number by explicitly routing latest-block queries there. An agent can tell exactly what this tool does 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.

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

Explicitly names the alternative for retrieving the latest block: 'For the latest block use get_block_number.' It also clarifies supported chains and the invalid-time case (422 before_genesis), so the agent knows when this tool applies and when not to use it.

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

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent and open-world, so the description goes beyond by adding caching behavior (up to 30 s), a bad-chain 422 that occurs before payment and is not charged, typical latency under 1 s, and pricing. These are genuinely decision-relevant operational traits, though the return shape is only lightly touched.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads the core purpose, follows with sibling routing, then operational facts. Dense and mostly waste-free, though the pricing/free-tier/docs tail is slightly listy and could be trimmed.

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

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

With an output schema present and annotations covering the safety profile, the description supplies everything else an agent needs: supported chains, caching, error semantics, latency and cost. Nothing required to invoke it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

There is a single parameter with 100% schema coverage and an enum that already documents the allowed chains. The description restates the chain set but adds no format or syntax meaning beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource (latest block number, timestamp, age) and scopes it to three named chains. It actively distinguishes itself from siblings by pointing to get_block for the full header and get_chain_info for chain id and gas price.

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

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

Explicitly routes the agent: 'For the full header use get_block; for chain id and gas price use get_chain_info.' It also states scope limits (Ethereum, Base and Robinhood only), so both when-to-use and when-not-to-use are covered.

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

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

Annotations carry the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, openWorld), and the description layers on real operational detail beyond them: three RPC reads, 30 s caching, sub-1 s latency, 422 pre-payment validation with no charge on bad input, and 'nothing is signed or sent.'

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose then alternatives then return fields then cost/limits, which is the right order. Slightly repetitive — the chain list appears in the title, the opening sentence, and again later ('Ethereum, Base and Robinhood only') — but no sentence is filler.

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

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

For a one-param read tool with an output schema, this covers purpose, alternatives, return shape, pricing, rate limits, caching, latency, and error/charge behavior. An agent has everything needed to decide and call correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the single `chain` enum is fully documented in the schema, including chain id 4663 for robinhood. The description restates the same chain list rather than adding format or default semantics, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource (get chain id, latest block, head age, gas price) and explicitly differentiates from siblings: 'For gas alone use get_gas; for the header alone use get_block.' An agent can route correctly 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.

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

Explicit when-to-use routing is given for both alternatives, plus chain eligibility ('Ethereum, Base and Robinhood only') and a free-tier/billing context (10 free reads per IP per UTC day, USD 0.001 after). Nothing is left to inference.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint/idempotent/destructive, but the description adds substantial operational context beyond them: chain scope (Ethereum, Base, Robinhood only), EIP-1167/EIP-7702-only detection, latency (~1 s), error semantics (bad address = 422, not charged), price ($0.001) and free-tier quota. This is well above the bar set by the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose and scope are front-loaded, and each sentence carries usable information (detection scope, chain support, error behavior, latency, pricing). The pricing/quota/docs run at the tail is slightly dense but genuinely relevant for a paid read tool, so it earns its place.

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

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. Combined with the description's coverage of chains, detection limits, error handling, latency and cost, an agent has everything needed to invoke this correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both the chain enum and the address pattern, and the description's chain list merely mirrors the enum. No additional syntax, format, or case-normalization detail is added beyond the structured fields, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a concrete verb+resource ('Get the deployed bytecode size and hash of an address') and immediately scopes it to EIP-1167 and EIP-7702 detection. It distinguishes itself from the sibling detect_proxy by name, so an agent can choose between them 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.

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

Explicit routing is provided: 'For other proxy kinds use detect_proxy,' and the boundary is restated as 'Only EIP-1167 clones and EIP-7702 delegations are detected.' It also flags the supported chains and notes that a delegated wallet is not a contract, which heads off a common misuse.

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

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

Beyond the readOnly/idempotent annotations, the description discloses that the data comes from one allow-listed pool rather than an exchange feed, that DEX prices can differ from CEX, that a swap-less candle repeats the prior close, and that the last candle is still forming. It also covers failure modes (422 before payment, 503 warming_up/rpc_unavailable not charged) and latency.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose is front-loaded, followed by the alternative, then data provenance, caveats and operational details. It is dense and long, but nearly every sentence carries distinct information; only minor trimming is possible.

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

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

With an output schema present and rich annotations, the description need not explain return values, and it still covers provenance, caveats, error/payment semantics, latency and pricing. Nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly appears to be missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so pair, limit (with per-interval lookback caps) and interval are already fully documented in the schema. The description restates the intervals and that a bad pair/interval/limit yields a 422, but adds little parameter meaning beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 3 holds.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource (get OHLCV price candles) and pins the exact scope: ETH (WETH/USDC) or BTC (cbBTC/USDC) in USDC from Uniswap v3 on Base. It explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling get_token_price, 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.

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

It names the alternative route explicitly ('For the oracle price now use get_token_price') and makes the use case (historical/forming candles vs. spot oracle) clear. There is no explicit when-not-to-use or statement about which other price siblings to prefer, but the context is strong.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/openWorld, but the description adds substantial behavior: offchain CCIP-Read records are reported but never fetched, non-ASCII names produce a 422 non_ascii_name that is not charged, malformed node answers produce an uncharged 5xx, latency is typically 1-3 s, price is USD 0.003 with 10 free reads per IP per UTC day, and returned text must be treated as untrusted. This is beyond anything the annotations convey.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose is front-loaded and every clause carries information, but the middle section is a dense run of semicolon-joined clauses covering returns, error codes, timing, pricing and rate limits. It is efficient for how much it packs in, yet the telegraphic stack reduces scannability compared with a tighter structure.

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

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, yet the description still maps the return fields and covers the operational envelope an agent needs: cost, free quota, latency, which failures are billed, and untrusted-content handling. Nothing needed to call this correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With one parameter at 100% schema coverage the baseline is 3, and the description exceeds it by tying the ASCII-only constraint to a concrete failure mode ('a non-ASCII name is a 422 non_ascii_name') and by scoping the argument to Ethereum mainnet. It does not add format/syntax detail beyond the schema's 'vitalik.eth' example, so it stops short of 5.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('read an ENS name's records'), pins the network (Ethereum mainnet), and enumerates exactly what comes back (resolver, addresses, contenthash, texts). It explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling resolve_ens, so an agent can pick between them 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.

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

Names the alternative tool and the condition that selects it: 'To resolve the address use resolve_ens.' That is a direct routing rule for the closest sibling, and the rest of the text implicitly scopes usage to reading full record sets rather than single-address resolution.

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

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

Goes well past the annotations: discloses an ERC-165/balanceOf capability check, the specific 422 `not_erc1155` failure mode and that it is not charged, 30 s RPC caching, typical sub-second latency, USD 0.001 pricing and a 10-reads/IP/day free tier. Annotations only supply the safety profile, so this added operational context is genuinely valuable.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose and the sibling routing are front-loaded, and the dense sentence carries pricing, caching and error semantics efficiently. It repeats the 422/not-charged idea twice and the chain list twice ('Ethereum, Base or Robinhood' appears in both title and body), which is minor redundancy rather than bloat.

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

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

For a single-value read with four required params, the definition covers return shape (balance raw integer string, is_erc1155 flag, block), the failure taxonomy, cost model and latency. With an output schema present, nothing an agent needs before calling is left unstated.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% with patterns and an enum already documented, so the baseline is 3. The description adds little parameter detail beyond echoing that balanceOf takes (account, id); it does not explain token_id encoding or address normalization beyond what the schema states.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource (get ERC-1155 token balance for a token id) and pins the scope to three named chains. It explicitly routes the adjacent case away ('For an ERC-721 owner use get_nft_owner'), so an agent can separate it from sibling token-read tools 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.

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

Gives an explicit alternative and the condition that selects it (ERC-721 owners go to get_nft_owner), plus the chain restriction. It does not contrast against other balance-ish siblings (get_balance, get_token_info, get_nft), so guidance is clear but not exhaustive.

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

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

Annotations only cover the safe-read profile (readOnly/idempotent/openWorld); the description goes far beyond by defining `truncated`, `complete` and `incomplete_reason`, noting there is no pagination or cursors, warning that symbol/decimals can be spoofed, specifying 422-not-charged on bad input, latency, price, and a per-IP daily free quota. It also flags returned text as untrusted data, which is real operational context an agent needs.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose and alternatives are front-loaded in the first two sentences, and almost every subsequent clause carries information (completeness flags, cost, errors, injection warning). It loses a point because the backtick-field run-on ('truncated: ... complete: ... incomplete_reason: ...') packs three distinct concepts into one dense block that would read better as separate statements.

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

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

With an output schema present, the description needn't repeat return shapes, yet it still supplies the interpretive keys for the completeness fields plus cost, latency, quota and error behavior. For a 7-parameter, multi-chain read tool, nothing an agent needs in order to call it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3; the description adds genuine meaning beyond the schema by tying `token` to the refused-wallet-scan workaround and warning that narrowing from_block/to_block 'cannot fix single-block overflow.' The backtick references are terse but they map to concrete parameters and do add decision value.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('List the ERC-20 token transfers into and out of an address') plus the three supported chains, and explicitly excludes NFTs. It also names the two adjacent tools (get_portfolio, get_wallet_counterparties) so an agent can distinguish this from near-neighbors without reading schemas.

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

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

Gives concrete when-to-use-elsewhere routing: balances go to get_portfolio, counterparty aggregation to get_wallet_counterparties, and this tool for raw transfer events. It also states exclusions (no NFTs) and the fallback path when a wallet scan is refused ('set `token`').

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

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

Goes well beyond the annotations (readOnly/idempotent/openWorld) with constraints and traits the agent can't get elsewhere: 2,000-block cap, default last 100 blocks, 500-log truncation with a `truncated` flag, decode-by-signature caveat that data is untrusted, the 422 error path (not charged), latency 0.3-3 s, price, and free-tier quota.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads purpose, then alternatives, then constraints and operational facts in a logical order. It is dense and slightly long, with some redundancy against the title, but nearly every clause carries actionable information.

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

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

For a 5-param filtered-log tool with an output schema and full annotation coverage, the description supplies everything an agent needs: scope, alternatives, limits, error behavior, and the untrusted-data caveat. Returned values are covered by the output schema, so no gap remains.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description adds useful framing by tying topics[0] to the event-signature concept and clarifying the address/topic0 requirement to narrow a busy contract. It doesn't restate every field's syntax, but the added decode semantics exceed the schema baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource+scope ('Query contract event logs over a block range, decoded') and immediately distinguishes itself from siblings by name ('For one transaction's events use decode_tx_logs; for an address's token transfers use get_erc20_transfers'). 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.

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

Explicitly names the two closest alternatives and the condition that routes to each, and adds practical guidance ('Narrow the range or add topics for a busy contract') plus a when-not rule ('A range over 2,000 blocks, or neither an address nor topic0, is a 422'). Nothing is left to inference.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description goes well beyond them: 60 s cache TTL, annualised = hourly x 24 x 365, 422 on unknown symbol with no charge, expected latency 0.3-2 s, price USD 0.002, and a 10-read/day free tier. That is exactly the operational context an agent needs before calling a paid, open-world endpoint.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the use case and routing alternatives, and essentially every clause carries information (scope, return shape, cache, formula, error cost, latency, price, free tier, docs). It is a dense single block rather than a structured one, which makes the operational facts (price, latency) slightly harder to scan, but there is no filler to cut.

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

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

With an output schema present, return-value documentation is not required, yet the description still summarises what comes back (hourly/annualised, mark, OI, 24 h volume). Errors, scope limits (Hyperliquid perps only), caching, cost, and docs URL are all covered, leaving no gap an agent would need to guess at.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and each parameter is already well documented, so the baseline is 3. The description adds ordering semantics the schema omits (top markets ranked by absolute funding) and restates the symbol/history behaviour, giving modest extra value beyond the structured fields.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource+scope: Hyperliquid perp funding rates, hourly and annualised, top markets by absolute funding or a single symbol with up to 7 days of hourly history. It explicitly separates itself from compare_funding_rates (cross-venue dYdX comparison) and rank_funding_carry (best pair across five venues), so an agent can route without opening sibling schemas.

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

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

Gives a concrete triggering condition ('when an agent needs what a Hyperliquid perp costs to hold, or whether funding is flipping, before sizing a trade') and names two sibling alternatives with the exact condition that selects each. Both when-to-use and when-to-use-something-else are covered.

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

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), yet the description adds real operational context: latency (0.2-1s), cost (USD 0.001), a free tier limit (10 reads/IP/UTC day), and an untrusted-data warning about on-chain strings. That is well beyond what annotations provide.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads purpose, then alternative routing, then returns, timing, pricing and safety. Every element is useful, though the listed return fields overlap with the existing output schema and slightly pad the text.

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

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

With an output schema present, return-value details are optional, yet the definition still covers latency, pricing, rate limits, safety and a docs link. For a one-param read tool, nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and the single 'chain' parameter is a self-explanatory enum. The description restates the three valid chains, matching the enum but adding 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.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb ('read') and resource ('the current gas price') plus the exact scope (Ethereum, Base, Robinhood Chain). It also distinguishes itself from the sibling estimate_gas, so an agent can separate the two 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.

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

Explicitly routes the agent: 'For the gas units a transaction needs use estimate_gas,' which names the alternative and the condition under which it applies. The scope (current chain price) is clear, so when-not-to-use this tool is unambiguous.

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

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

Annotations only cover the read-only/idempotent safety profile, but the description adds substantial behavioral context: the URI is capped text and never fetched, returned strings are attacker-controlled and must be treated as untrusted data rather than instructions, malformed node answers surface as 5xx and are not charged, and typical latency is 0.3-2 s. That security and billing disclosure goes well beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose and the sibling routing, then security, then cost/latency. Dense but nearly every clause carries operational value; the pricing, free-tier and docs sentences are warranted for a paid metered tool, though the block reads more like a listing than a crisp description.

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

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. Given that, the description covers chains, sibling routing, trust model for returned strings, failure semantics, latency and price — everything an agent needs to select and safely invoke it.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%: chain enum, the 0x+40-hex contract pattern, and the token-id decimal/hex format are all documented in the schema. The description adds no further parameter-level meaning, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource ('read one NFT') plus the supported chains, and directly names the sibling get_nft_owner with the scope that distinguishes them (owner only vs. standard + owner + token URI). An agent can route between the two 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.

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

Explicitly gives the when-to-use-this vs. when-to-use-the-alternative rule: 'For the ERC-721 owner alone use get_nft_owner.' It also bounds the tool to three named chains and states the free-tier quota, so an agent knows both the substitution case and the cost context.

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

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world, but the description goes well beyond them: unminted/burned returns null with exists:false, the token URI is returned as text and not fetched, ERC-1155 and non-ERC-721 addresses yield 422s that are not charged, typical latency under 1s, price and free-tier quota, and an explicit untrusted-data/prompt-injection warning. This is unusually rich behavioral disclosure.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose followed by alternatives, return semantics, error cases, cost, and a safety note; nearly every clause carries information. It is dense and slightly repetitive (the title and the enumerated chains restate scope), but it avoids filler and remains skimmable.

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

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

An output schema exists and annotations cover the safety profile, yet the description still supplies everything an agent needs for a correct call: chain scope, error semantics, cost/quota, latency, and a data-trust caveat. Nothing material is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% — the schema already documents chain values, the contract address pattern, and the token_id uint256 format. The description only restates the supported chain names, adding no syntax or format detail beyond the structured fields, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get the owner and token URI of an ERC-721 token') and scopes it to named chains. It explicitly distinguishes itself from siblings, directing standard/collection checks to get_nft and ERC-1155 balances to get_erc1155_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.

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

Names both alternatives with the condition that selects them: get_nft for the standard check and collection data, get_erc1155_balance when the contract is ERC-1155 (which would otherwise be a 422). Chain constraints and the 'neither charged' note on failed calls further bound when this tool is the right pick.

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

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive), yet the description still adds materially: 60 s cache staleness, open-interest unit formula (USD = coins x mark), 422 on bad input with no charge, 0.3-2 s latency, and pricing/free-tier limits. This is exactly the kind of operational context annotations cannot convey.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose and routing, then a dense block of operational facts that all earn their place (cache, units, error, latency, price). Slight redundancy: the field list is enumerated twice and overlaps with the title, which costs it a point.

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

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, and the description fills every remaining gap an agent needs: scope limits, caching, unit conventions, error semantics, latency, and cost. Nothing required to invoke or interpret the call is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and each parameter (sort, limit, order, symbols) is already documented in the schema, so the baseline is 3. The description only restates 'filter by `symbols`, sort, limit' and omits `order`, adding no syntax or semantics beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('List Hyperliquid perpetual markets') plus the exact data scope (mark, oracle, open interest, volume, max leverage, funding). An agent can distinguish it from market-data siblings like get_funding_rates or get_dex_volume without opening a schema.

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

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

Names an explicit alternative with its triggering condition: 'For funding history use get_funding_rates.' It also scopes the tool ('Hyperliquid perps only'), preventing accidental use for other venues. It doesn't address the other nearby funding siblings (compare_funding_rates, rank_funding_carry), so it stops short of exhaustive when/when-not routing.

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

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, non-destructive and open-world. Beyond that the description adds genuinely new behavior: per-call latency (0.3-2 s), USD 0.004 pricing, a 10-reads-per-IP-per-UTC-day free tier, multi-wallet never-free and charged only if every wallet is read, a 5xx path that is not charged, and partial-failure semantics where a non-ERC-20 token returns ok:false without failing the call. Minor gap: it does not say how the free tier interacts with the multi-wallet form explicitly.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The purpose and sibling routing are front-loaded in the first two sentences, followed by failure semantics, pricing and limits. It is dense and somewhat run-on (the multi-wallet clause packs billing, response shape and read semantics into one sentence), but nearly every clause carries decision-relevant information; only the title repetition in the opening phrase is wasted.

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

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

With an output schema present, the description need not document return fields, yet it still sketches the multi-wallet response shape where it differs. Cost model, free-tier limits, latency, partial-failure behavior, multi-wallet billing and a prompt-injection caution about attacker-controlled token symbols are all covered, leaving nothing an agent needs in order to call this correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning beyond the schema: that omitting `tokens` narrows the read to native only, and that `addresses` (1-10) is an alternative multi-wallet mode read at a single block returning `block`/`tokens` once plus a `wallets` array, with per-wallet billing. It does not explain the mutual exclusivity edge cases beyond what the schema already states.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource with scope: read one native balance plus up to 20 ERC-20 balances for an address on Ethereum, Base or Robinhood Chain. It explicitly names the siblings it is not (get_balance, get_erc20_transfers, get_solana_token_balances), so an agent can distinguish 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.

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

Gives explicit routing rules: single balance -> get_balance, transfer history -> get_erc20_transfers, Solana -> get_solana_token_balances. It also states the degenerate case (no `tokens` means native-only) and the multi-wallet form, so the agent knows both when and how to choose each variant.

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

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), and the description adds substantial behavior beyond them: parsed data is node jsonParsed and dropped over 40,000 chars, raw data is never returned, mainnet with confirmed commitment, 422 vs 503 errors and that neither is charged, typical latency, and a prompt-injection caution on returned text.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads the purpose and routing before the return-shape and operational details, with no redundant sentences. It is dense but each clause carries distinct information; slightly heavy on pricing/ops metadata relative to the core call semantics.

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

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

An output schema exists so return details are optional, yet the description still enumerates the returned fields and parsing caveats. Combined with error semantics, network/commitment, and pricing, everything an agent needs to call and interpret the result is present.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With a single parameter at 100% schema coverage, the schema already documents the base58 address format and length. The description adds nothing about parameter syntax or format beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource (get account info of a Solana address) and explicitly routes the sibling case to get_solana_token_info. An agent can distinguish it from get_solana_balance, get_solana_token_info, and get_solana_transaction without opening schemas.

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

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

Explicitly names the alternative (get_solana_token_info) and the condition that selects it (mint's supply and authorities). This is direct when/when-not guidance rather than implied context.

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

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

Goes well beyond the annotations: input validation failures are 422 and RPC failures are 503, neither charged; typical latency 0.2-1 s; price USD 0.002 with 10 free reads per IP per day; and a prompt-injection warning about treating returned text as untrusted. These are exactly the operational traits an agent needs and that readOnlyHint/idempotentHint cannot carry.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose, then sibling routing, then returns, errors, latency, pricing and safety. It is dense and earns most of its sentences, but wastes one on a verbatim duplicate: "an address that was never funded reads 0. Never-funded addresses read 0."

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

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

For a single-parameter read with an output schema, the description supplies everything beyond the structured fields: return shape (lamports, sol, slot), the zero-balance edge case, network/commitment, error semantics and cost. Nothing needed to call it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% – the single `address` parameter already documents base58, 32-44 characters, with the pattern and length bounds. The description adds only an indirect hint ("a malformed input is a 422") rather than new parameter detail, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ("Get the SOL balance of a Solana address") and immediately names the sibling that covers the adjacent case: "For SPL tokens use get_solana_token_balances." An agent can route between the two native-SOL vs SPL-token tools without inspecting either schema.

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

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

Explicitly names the alternative tool and the condition selecting it (SPL tokens), and pins the network/commitment context (Solana mainnet, confirmed commitment), which tells the agent when the result is authoritative. It lacks a stated when-not-to-use beyond the token case, so it falls short of the 5 bar.

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

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

Beyond the readOnly/openWorld/idempotent annotations, the description discloses commitment level (confirmed), pagination terminus (next_before null on last page), memo truncation cap (200 chars), latency (0.3-2 s), pricing and free-tier limits, distinct 422/503 error semantics with no-charge guarantees, and a prompt-injection warning on returned on-chain strings. This is unusually rich behavioral context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose is front-loaded and every clause carries operational weight (errors, pricing, timing, injection warning) with no filler. It is dense to the point of being a compressed run-on of metadata, which slightly hurts scannability.

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

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

With an output schema present, the description needn't explain return fields, yet it still clarifies pagination terminus and memo truncation. Pricing, latency, failure semantics, and safety guidance are all covered, leaving nothing an agent needs in order to call it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and the schema already documents limit, before, and address including the before/next_before paging relationship. The description adds the output-side detail that next_before is null on the last page, but nothing about parameter syntax beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('List the recent transaction signatures of a Solana address') and explicitly routes the agent to the sibling get_solana_transaction for single-transaction details. An agent can distinguish it from the other Solana read tools 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.

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

Explicitly names the alternative (get_solana_transaction) and the condition that selects it, which is more than most tools provide. It lacks an explicit 'when-not' for this tool itself (e.g. when to prefer get_solana_account or balance tools instead), so it falls short of a 5.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive/openWorld, and the description adds substantial context beyond them: 200-account listing cap, zero balances only counted, labels from a fixed mint table, 422 pre-payment vs 503 RPC failure (neither charged), 0.5-3s latency, price and free-tier limits, and an untrusted-data warning. This is unusually rich behavioral disclosure.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads purpose and the sibling-routing rule, then moves to return semantics, errors, timing and pricing in a logical order. Dense but nearly every clause carries operational value; the pricing/free-tier and docs-link tail is slightly over-packed for one paragraph.

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

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

Covers network, commitment level, return semantics (200-account cap, zero-balance counting, label source), error codes with billing implications, latency and cost. Despite an output schema existing, the description supplies every operational detail needed to call it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Single parameter with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema already documents the base58 owner address fully. The description adds no syntax or format detail beyond what the schema provides, matching the baseline 3 for high-coverage schemas.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get the SPL token balances of a Solana wallet') and explicitly distinguishes itself from siblings, routing SOL to get_solana_balance and EVM tokens to get_portfolio. 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.

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

Gives explicit when-to-use routing ('For SOL use get_solana_balance; for EVM tokens use get_portfolio'), plus the network/commitment context (Solana mainnet, confirmed). Nothing about which tool to pick for a given asset class is left to inference.

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

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

Annotations only cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive); the description adds substantial context beyond them: 422 not_a_mint for wrong address types, 503 on RPC failure, that neither error is charged, mainnet/confirmed commitment, latency ~0.2-1s, the USD 0.002 price and 10 free reads/IP/day, and an untrusted-data warning. This is unusually rich disclosure for a read tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose and alternatives, then packs errors, commitment, pricing, and latency into tight clauses with no filler. It is long, but nearly every sentence carries a distinct fact an agent needs; slight density cost prevents a 5.

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

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, yet the description maps the key fields (supply, decimals, ui_supply, mint_authority/freeze_authority null-when-renounced, extensions, label). Combined with error semantics, payment model, and network scope, nothing needed to call this correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% for the single 'mint' param, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning: it clarifies that legacy Metaplex names/symbols are not accepted and that a non-mint address produces a 422 'not_a_mint', which tells the agent how validation actually behaves beyond the base58 pattern in the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The opening sentence gives a specific verb and resource — 'Get the supply, decimals and authorities of a Solana token mint' — and immediately names the two sibling tools it is not (get_solana_token_price, check_solana_token_safety). An agent can distinguish it from adjacent Solana tools 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.

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

Explicit routing guidance: price questions go to get_solana_token_price and rug-risk to check_solana_token_safety, with the remaining use case (mint metadata/authorities) clearly this tool's domain. The scoping is concrete and leaves nothing to inference.

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

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

Annotations already cover safety (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, openWorld), but the description adds substantial non-structured behavior: not_found is a charged 200, malformed input is an uncharged 422, RPC failure is an uncharged 503, typical latency 0.3-2 s, price and free-tier quota. The prompt-injection warning about returned page text is a genuine operational caveat absent from the schema.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose and the sibling alternative are front-loaded, then error/pricing/security facts follow. It is dense and reads as a spec block rather than prose, but every sentence carries distinct decision-relevant information and none is padding.

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

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

With an output schema present, return shape need not be described; instead the description covers the gaps that matter for a paid, metered RPC read: error taxonomy, charging rules, network/commitment, latency, price, and quota. Nothing an agent needs to call this correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the single signature parameter is fully documented in the schema (base58, 87-88 chars, pattern). The description adds no format or constraint detail beyond what the schema already carries, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get a parsed Solana transaction by its signature') and immediately names the sibling it is not: 'For an address's recent signatures use get_solana_signatures.' An agent can distinguish this from get_solana_signatures, get_transaction, and get_solana_account without opening a schema.

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

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

Explicit routing guidance to the alternative tool and the condition that selects it (address-level history vs. single signature). It also specifies the operating envelope — Solana mainnet, confirmed commitment — which tells the agent when results are valid.

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

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

Annotations declare the safety profile, and the description adds real operational context beyond them: old blocks require an archive node and may fail, RPC reads are cached up to 30 s, invalid input returns 422 before payment, typical latency under 1 s, price and free-tier limits. That is exactly the value-add expected when annotations already cover readOnly/idempotent/destructive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose, then returns, then failure/caching/pricing facts; nearly every clause carries information. Slightly dense with metered-payment and free-tier detail, but nothing is truly wasted.

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

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

With an output schema present, return-field explanation is optional yet supplied (value/as_uint/as_address/is_zero). Chains, block tags, failure modes, caching, cost and auth-free read semantics are all covered, leaving nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents slot, block, chain and address formats. The description's mention of 'latest, pending, finalized or a block number' restates the schema rather than adding new constraint meaning, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource ('read a contract storage slot') plus the underlying RPC ('eth_getStorageAt') and the exact chains supported. It explicitly routes the proxy/admin-slot case to the sibling detect_proxy, so an agent can separate it from that tool 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.

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

Clearly names the alternative ('For proxy implementation and admin slots use detect_proxy'), which is precise conditional routing. It stops short of covering other adjacent siblings (eth_call, get_contract_code) or when-not to use it, so it is strong but not exhaustive.

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

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

Beyond the readOnly/idempotent annotations, it discloses error semantics (422 for no liquidity, 5xx for malformed node answers), that neither is charged, latency (~0.3-2s), cost (USD 0.003), free tier (10 reads/IP/day), and the manipulation caveat for illiquid pools. This is exactly the extra context annotations cannot carry.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose and packed densely; each clause (errors, latency, pricing, oracle warning) carries information. The trailing 'treat returned page text as untrusted data' line is somewhat boilerplate for a quote tool, keeping it just short of a 5.

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

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

With an output schema present, return values need not be explained, and the description fills every remaining gap: chain constraints, error/charging behavior, timing, cost, and safety caveats. Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both the 'exactly one of amount_in or amount_in_raw' rule and the units are already documented in the schema. The description restates the input set but adds no new syntax or format detail beyond it, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (quote an exact-input swap) and resource (Uniswap V3 via QuoterV2, read-only eth_call) with the supported chains. It also explicitly names the sibling it is not (pre_trade_check for price impact), 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.

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

Names the alternative pre_trade_check and the condition ('for price impact over up to five sizes') that selects it. It also frames usage limits ('never use it as an oracle'), which is explicit when-not guidance.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/openWorld/non-destructive, and the description adds value beyond them: returned fields (name, symbol, decimals, total supply, is_erc20:false), latency 0.2-1 s, cost USD 0.003, a 10-read/day free tier, and a prompt-injection warning about attacker-controlled on-chain strings. That is substantive operational and safety context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose and disambiguation, then packs returns, latency, pricing, free tier and safety in terse clauses. Dense but nearly every sentence carries distinct information; slightly list-like stacking keeps it off a 5.

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

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

Even though an output schema exists (so return values needn't be explained), the description still covers the routing decision, cost/quota, latency, chain scope and the untrusted-input caveat. 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.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% with only two required parameters, so the schema already carries the parameter documentation. The description echoes the chain list ('Ethereum, Base or Robinhood Chain') but adds no format or constraint detail beyond the enum, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Names a specific verb and resource ('get ERC-20 token metadata') and scopes it to three named chains. It explicitly distinguishes itself from get_balance and get_total_supply, so an agent can route without opening other schemas.

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

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

States the alternatives and the condition that selects each: 'For a holder's balance use get_balance; for supply alone use get_total_supply.' This is explicit when/when-not routing, not implied usage.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description goes well beyond that: 422 for an unsupported pair with the 'not charged' caveat, typical latency of 0.2-1s, $0.002 price, a 10-reads-per-IP-per-UTC-day free tier, and a prompt-injection warning about treating returned page text and on-chain strings as untrusted. This is unusually rich disclosure for a paid, open-world tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the core verb+resource in the first clause, then alternatives, error/cost/latency facts, and a safety note. Dense but each sentence carries actionable information; the pricing/free-tier detail makes it slightly heavier than strictly necessary.

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

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

With an output schema present, return values need not be described. The description covers the remaining gaps an agent needs: alternatives, failure semantics, cost, latency, free tier, and untrusted-data handling. Nothing material is missing for correct invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and both params carry enum lists with descriptions already covering the pair allow-list and the Ethereum/Base-only constraint. The description adds only the pair×chain failure mode (422 on an unavailable pair), so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource ('read a token price from a Chainlink on-chain price feed') and immediately frames the scope qualitatively as a deterministic oracle answer rather than a DEX spot price. It names two sibling tools it is not, so an agent can distinguish it without opening a schema.

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

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

Explicitly routes alternatives: use get_swap_quote for a DEX quote of any token, and get_solana_token_price for Solana. Combined with the 'oracle not DEX spot' framing, the selection condition between oracle pricing and DEX pricing is clear.

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

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

Goes well past the annotations: it discloses the 422 not_erc20 error for non-token addresses and that such a call is not charged, notes bytes32 symbol decoding, warns that symbol/decimals are contract-supplied and spoofable, gives a latency figure (~1 s), states the USD 0.001 price and the 10 free reads/IP/UTC-day quota, and flags returned on-chain strings as untrusted data. The 'Read-only' line merely restates readOnlyHint=true and is consistent with it.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence and the dense packing of error/cost/limit warnings is efficient. There is mild redundancy — the opening sentence largely repeats the title field, and the chain list is stated twice — which keeps it out of the top band.

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

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

Return shape, auth/payment model, error semantics, chain scope and latency are all covered; an output schema exists so return values need not be explained, yet the description still names the key fields. Nothing material an agent needs to call this correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Both parameters are fully documented in the schema (100% coverage), including the chain enum and the token address pattern, so the schema carries the burden. The description reinforces the chain restriction but adds no format or semantic detail beyond it — the baseline 3 for high coverage applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource (get ERC-20 total supply) and pins the scope to three named chains. It also explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling get_token_info, 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.

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

"For name and symbol too use get_token_info" names the alternative tool and the condition that selects it. It stops short of a full when-not (e.g. whether to prefer get_balance, get_token_price or scan_contract_address for adjacent needs), so it is clear context rather than complete routing.

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