toolvend - utility APIs for agents

sitemap

Fetch and parse sitemap XML or gzip into JSON. For an index, follow the first N children with ?follow=N. Caps merged output at 500 URLs. Paid per call: $0.005 in USDC via x402.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the disclosure burden well: it states gzip support, index-following behavior, a 500-URL merged-output cap, and that calls are paid via x402 at $0.005 USDC. It does not describe error behavior or exact return shape, which keeps it from a 5.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is compact and front-loaded: purpose first, then index behavior, then output cap, then payment. Each sentence contributes operational information without repetition.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a two-parameter fetch/parse tool with no annotations or output schema, the description covers the key operational context: input formats, index handling, output cap, and payment model. The main remaining gap is the exact JSON output shape.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both the url and follow parameters are already documented in structured form. The description reinforces the follow behavior and mentions gzip and index cases, but does not add substantial parameter semantics beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description states a specific verb and resource: fetch and parse sitemap XML or gzip into JSON. It is immediately distinguishable from unrelated siblings such as dns, robots, or url-inspect.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It gives a clear conditional usage rule for sitemap indexes: follow the first N children with ?follow=N. There are no relevant sibling alternatives to exclude, so the guidance is sufficient even without explicit when-not-to-use language.

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