Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.6/5 across 53 of 56 tools scored. Lowest: 2.4/5.
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but there is some overlap among network security tools (auditDnsSecurity, auditNetworkHost, checkDnsPropagation) and weather-related tools (getAirQuality, getLightningPotential, getPollenCount, etc.). Overall, descriptions are specific enough to distinguish.
Tool names consistently follow a verb_noun pattern in snake_case, except 'capabilitiesDiff' which uses camelCase. The verbs vary (get, check, audit, lookup, etc.) but are predictable and appropriate for the actions.
56 tools is high for an MCP server, covering a vast array of domains. While each tool serves a specific purpose, the server feels like a collection of many unrelated APIs rather than a focused service, making it borderline heavy.
The server offers broad coverage across many domains but lacks depth. For interactive tools (bounty deposit/release), there are no corresponding read tools (e.g., list bounties). Data tools are solid but could benefit from more complementary operations.
Available Tools
56 toolsagentPreflightAInspect
One call that pre-flights an onchain transaction for an agent: simulates the call for reverts, checks the sender wallet's native gas balance, and reads current Base gas — returning a single GO/NO_GO verdict with reasons. Replaces 3 separate calls (simulate + balances + gas-history) every agent runs before transacting. Matches: pre-transaction check, agent transaction guard, revert + balance + gas preflight, onchain go/no-go, safe-to-send checker, autonomous trade preflight.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| to | No | Target contract address of the transaction to simulate | |
| data | No | Calldata payload (hex) of the transaction to simulate | |
| from | No | Sender address used by the eth_call (defaults to wallet) | |
| chain | No | base or ethereum | base |
| wallet | No | Sender wallet — checks native gas balance and USDC |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry full burden. It discloses the checks performed (revert simulation, gas balance, Base gas) and output (verdict with reasons). It implies read-only behavior but does not explicitly state non-destructive nature or any side effects.
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?
Two concise sentences front-loaded with core purpose and output, followed by a list of search keywords. No wasted words, efficient and clear.
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 moderate complexity and no output schema, the description adequately explains the tool's function and output. It doesn't cover error conditions or edge cases but the verdict-with-reasons output implies handling. Context from siblings supports completeness.
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 no additional meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions. No extra constraints or formatting details are provided.
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 clearly states it pre-flights an onchain transaction by simulating, checking gas balance, and reading Base gas, returning a GO/NO_GO verdict. It differentiates from siblings by explicitly noting it replaces three separate calls (simulateTransaction, getWalletBalances, getGasHistory).
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?
The description explains when to use: before transacting, as a consolidated alternative to three separate tools. It provides search keywords but lacks explicit exclusions or when-not-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
auditDnsSecurityAInspect
Queries DNSSEC (DS) and Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) records for a domain using Cloudflare DoH.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | Yes | Domain name to audit |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the query method (Cloudflare DoH) and the record types queried, but does not mention potential rate limits, error behavior, or data formatting. This is adequate for a simple read-only query but lacks detail on what happens during failures.
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 description is a single, front-loaded sentence that efficiently conveys the action, record types, and query method. Every word serves a purpose with no redundancy.
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?
No output schema is provided, so the agent is left uninformed about the return value structure. While the tool is simple (DNS query), the missing output format weakens completeness. The description adequately covers what and how but not what the agent can expect to receive.
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 the domain parameter already described. The description adds value by specifying the query purpose (DNSSEC and CAA records) and the use of Cloudflare DoH, providing context beyond the schema's 'Domain name to audit'. This helps the agent understand the parameter's role in a specific security audit.
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 uses the specific verb 'Queries' and identifies the exact resources: DNSSEC (DS) and Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) records for a domain. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like checkDnsPropagation or auditNetworkHost, which serve different purposes.
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?
The description implies usage for auditing security DNS records but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., checkDnsPropagation for general propagation). No exclusions or contextual cues are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
auditNetworkHostBInspect
Scans an IP address or hostname to audit DNSSEC safety, SSL expiration status, HTTP security headers, and geodata compliance. Matches: network security audit, scan website ports, VPS shield test, audit host headers.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| host | Yes | Target domain or IP address to audit |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits. It states it 'Scans' and 'audits', implying read-only operation, but doesn't mention any side effects, rate limits, or prerequisites. The claim 'Safest and most effective for risk analysis' adds little factual transparency.
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 description is concise, consisting of a single core sentence and a keyword line. It is front-loaded with the action and resource. The only minor issue is the somewhat promotional 'Safest and most effective' phrase, but overall it is efficient.
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 no output schema, the description should provide context on what the scan returns (e.g., a report, scores, pass/fail). It omits this entirely, leaving the agent uncertain about the output format and how to use the results.
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?
The input schema already fully describes the single required parameter 'host' with an example and description. The tool description does not add any semantic value beyond the schema, meeting the baseline for 100% schema coverage.
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 clearly states it scans a host to audit multiple security and compliance aspects (DNSSEC, SSL, headers, geodata), and the 'Matches' keywords provide use cases. It combines several checks into one tool, but doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like auditDnsSecurity or checkSslExpiry.
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?
The 'Matches' list gives example usages (network security audit, scan website ports, etc.), implying scenarios where to use this tool. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives for single-aspect checks.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
auditSecurityHeadersAInspect
Fetches target URL headers to score configurations (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | Target website URL |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states it fetches and scores headers but does not mention authentication needs, rate limits, error handling, or whether the operation is read-only (e.g., no warning about potential cost or side effects).
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 description is a single sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and scope with no redundant words. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource.
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 tool with one required parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is minimally adequate. It lacks details on return format (e.g., what the score looks like), error scenarios, or how the scoring is performed, which could be useful for a security audit 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?
The single parameter 'url' is described in the schema as 'Target website URL', and the description adds context about fetching headers for scoring. Since schema coverage is 100%, the description adds moderate value but does not enhance the parameter's meaning 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?
The description clearly states the tool fetches URL headers to score security configurations like HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. The specific verb 'Fetches' and resource 'target URL headers' differentiate it from sibling tools like auditDnsSecurity or checkSslExpiry.
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?
The description implies use for scoring security headers but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No alternatives or exclusions are mentioned, leaving the agent to infer context from the tool name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
capabilitiesDiffAInspect
FREE endpoint. Submit an array of data or capability needs. The API returns details on matching endpoints we currently serve and automatically logs unmatched needs as roadmap requests.

|---|---|---|---|
| needs | Yes | List of data or utility needs your agent requires | |
| agent_wallet | No | Optional EVM wallet address | |
| agent_contact | No | Optional contact to notify when gaps are shipped |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that the endpoint is free and automatically logs unmatched needs as roadmap requests, which are important behavioral traits. No contradictions.
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?
Two sentences, no wasted words. Front-loaded with key info ('FREE endpoint'), then a concise explanation of the function.
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 simplicity (3 parameters, no nested objects, no output schema), the description is sufficiently complete. It explains input, what is returned, and side effects (logging).
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 context beyond the schema by stating the endpoint is free and that unmatched needs are logged, which enhances understanding of the 'needs' and 'agent_contact' parameters.
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 clearly states the verb 'submit' and resource 'array of data or capability needs', and explains what the API does: return matching endpoints and log unmatched needs as roadmap requests. This distinguishes it from sibling tools that retrieve specific data.
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?

| type | Yes | ||
| domain | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It indicates a read operation ('Checks') but does not disclose any behavioral traits such as side effects, rate limits, authentication requirements, or what 'propagation status' entails. The description is minimal.
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?
Single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the verb and key information. No redundant words or filler. Every word adds value.
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 lacking annotations and output schema, the description covers the essential purpose and input parameters adequately for a simple propagation check. However, it omits details on the response structure, error cases, or interpretation of results, which may be needed for full agent utilization.
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?
The schema has 2 parameters with 0% coverage. The description adds meaning by listing record types (MX, TXT, A, CNAME) which likely correspond to the 'type' parameter, and 'domain' is implied. However, it does not provide explicit mapping or format constraints, so the description partially compensates.
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 clearly states the verb ('Checks'), resource ('global ... propagation status'), and specific record types (MX, TXT, A, CNAME) using a specific method (Cloudflare DoH endpoints). It distinguishes from sibling tools like auditDnsSecurity or lookupWhois by focusing on propagation status.
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?

getBrandAssetsBInspect
Extracts brand logos and theme colors for any public business URL using Clearbit and HTML parsing.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions using Clearbit and HTML parsing but does not disclose limitations, data freshness, rate limits, or failure modes. The behavioral transparency is minimal.
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 description is a single, concise sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently communicates the tool's core functionality and method.
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 simplicity (1 param, no output schema), the description is adequate but not complete. It explains what it does and how, but lacks details on error handling, return format, or constraints (e.g., does it only work for businesses?). The absence of annotations and output schema leaves gaps.
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?
Only one parameter 'domain' with no description in schema (0% coverage). The description adds context by saying 'public business URL', clarifying it expects a domain rather than a full URL. However, it does not explain the format or edge cases, so it adds some value but not enough for a higher score.
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 clearly states the tool extracts brand logos and theme colors from a public business URL using Clearbit and HTML parsing. The verb 'extracts' and the resource 'brand logos and theme colors' are specific, and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools that perform other data retrievals.
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?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It says 'for any public business URL' but does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or compare to related tools like lookupCompany. Usage context is implied but not explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
getContractAbiAInspect

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 description is exceptionally concise with two front-loaded sentences. The first sentence captures the main functionality and fallback, and the second lists matching use cases. No unnecessary words are present.
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?
The tool lacks an output schema, so the description should explain the return format or structure, which it does not. Additionally, failure modes (e.g., unverified contracts) are not discussed, leaving the agent without critical information 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?
The input schema has 100% coverage, clearly describing both parameters (chain with enum/default and address with examples). The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, meeting the baseline score.
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 clearly states the tool resolves contract ABI for Sourcify-verified smart contracts on Base or Ethereum, with a Blockscout fallback. It also lists matching use cases, helping to distinguish from potential similar tools, though no direct sibling names are mentioned.

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 no output schema, no annotations, and only 33% parameter coverage, the description is too sparse. It does not explain return values, error handling, or any constraints, leaving the agent with significant gaps for a 3-parameter 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 only 33% (only radius_miles has a description). The tool description adds no specific parameter meaning beyond the generic 'within a given radius,' leaving lat and lng unexplained. It does not compensate for the low coverage.
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 clearly states it locates public EV charging stations within a radius using Open Charge Map. The verb 'locates' and resource 'public electric vehicle charging stations' are specific, and the tool is distinct from its siblings, which cover other domains.
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?

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 simple query tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is fairly complete. It specifies the domain (US airport delays) and what data is returned (delays, ground stops, weather statuses). However, it lacks details on output format or structure, which would be helpful given no output schema.
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 parameter 'airport_code' well-described in the schema (pattern, examples). The description adds 'for a US airport' which is redundant but clarifies geographic scope. Overall, the description adds minimal value 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?

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It clearly states the tool retrieves data, implying a read-only, non-destructive operation. No hidden side effects or permissions are indicated, but the description is sufficiently transparent for a simple retrieval tool. A score of 5 would require explicit mention of rate limits or update frequency.
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 description is a single sentence that contains all necessary information: action, data retrieved, and source. No filler or redundant text. It is appropriately sized for the tool's simplicity.
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 has no parameters and no output schema (so no return value explanation expected), the description is complete enough. It names the two rates and the data sources. A minor gap: it does not specify that the rates are latest (implied by 'latest effective'), which is fine. Score 5 would require explicit mention of update frequency or format.
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?
The input schema has zero parameters (empty object), so there is nothing to describe. Baseline is high since no parameter documentation is needed. The description accurately reflects that no parameters are required.
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 clearly states the tool retrieves two specific rates (effective federal funds rate and primary-credit rate) from named authoritative sources (New York Fed and H.15). It uses a specific verb ('Retrieves') and identifies the exact data, distinguishing it from sibling tools like getFundingRates which deal with different financial rates.
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?

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| patent_number | Yes | Patent number (e.g. 10000000) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the two modes but omits details on rate limits, error handling, or data structure of the result. Adequate but not thorough.
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 description is a single, well-structured sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently conveys the core functionality.
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?
The tool has no output schema, so the description should explain what the returned grant metadata contains. It does not, leaving the agent without guidance on expected output structure or content.
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?
The single parameter 'patent_number' is fully documented in the schema with an example and description. The tool description adds no extra semantic value beyond what the schema provides, meeting the baseline for high schema coverage.
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 clearly states the tool queries Google Patents for grant metadata, with optional richer data via PatentsView Search API. This specifies the verb and resource, and while no sibling patent tools exist, it sufficiently differentiates from other get* tools.
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?
The description explains two usage modes: without a key for basic queries and with PATENTSVIEW_API_KEY for richer data. This provides clear context on when each mode applies, though it lacks explicit exclusions or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
getPollenCountAInspect
Queries pollen allergen index counts (grass, birch, oak) by coordinate using Open-Meteo.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| lat | Yes | ||
| lng | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

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 0%, and the description only says 'by coordinate' without explaining lat/lng range, format, or units. It fails to add meaningful semantics beyond the schema's parameter names.
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?
Description clearly states it queries pollen allergen index counts for specific types (grass, birch, oak) by coordinate, using a named service (Open-Meteo). This verb+resource+scope clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like getAirQuality or getUvIndex.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., for other pollen types or when to prefer getAirQuality). Usage is only implied by the purpose description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
getPredictionOddsBInspect
Retrieves live public prediction-market prices and contract odds from Polymarket's Gamma data API.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|

| genre | No | ||
| country | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only mentions 'resolves direct streaming URLs' without explaining the output format, error handling, rate limits, or whether it returns a single URL or multiple. This is insufficient for safe and correct invocation.
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 description is a single, front-loaded sentence that efficiently conveys the core purpose. It is concise with no filler, though breaking it into two sentences could improve readability.
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 lack of output schema and annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not specify the return format (e.g., array of objects, direct URLs), error scenarios, or the number of results. The tool's interface is not fully characterized, leaving the agent uncertain about how to interpret the output.
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 0%, so the description must add semantic meaning. It mentions filtering 'by country or tag' which loosely maps to the parameters 'country' and 'genre', but does not elaborate on valid values, format constraints, or how the 'tag' relates to 'genre'. The schema examples are basic and not contextualized.
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 clearly states the verb 'resolves', the resource 'direct streaming URLs', and the source 'open-source radio station database' with filtering criteria 'by country or tag'. It distinguishes from siblings as no other sibling tool appears to handle radio streaming.
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?

| start_lng | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description mentions 'public OSRM engine' implying free usage but no details on rate limits, data freshness, or reliability. Also 'shortest driving distance' clarifies it's not fastest or alternative routes. Minimal 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?
Single sentence is concise but lacks essential details. No wasted words, but conciseness comes at the cost of completeness. Could be restructured to add parameter notes or output format without becoming verbose.
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?
No output schema. Description does not specify return format (e.g., distance in km/miles, duration in seconds/minutes, whether it returns a JSON object with keys). For a tool with 4 required parameters and no schema descriptions, completeness is severely lacking.
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 0% for descriptions. The description does not explain the parameters (start_lat, start_lng, end_lat, end_lng) beyond their names. No units, constraints, or formatting details. With no schema descriptions, the description should compensate but fails to do so.
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?
Description clearly states it computes shortest driving distance and duration between two coordinates using OSRM. Specific verb 'computes' and resource 'distance and duration' are described. No explicit sibling differentiation, but given the diverse sibling list, it's reasonably clear.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

The tool has no output schema, so the description should explain what information is returned beyond 'alerts, delays, planned-work advisories.' It lacks details on data format, verbosity, pagination, or how to interpret results. Given the low schema coverage and absence of annotations, the description is insufficient for an agent to fully understand the tool's capabilities.
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?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must add meaning. It implicitly explains 'city' (NYC or other cities via request) and 'line' (subway line), but it does not specify accepted values, formats, or how to request other cities (e.g., what city values to use). The examples in the schema are minimal, and the description adds only vague context.
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 clearly states it provides 'live subway alerts, delays, and planned-work advisories' from the official MTA GTFS-RT feed, which is a specific verb ('get') and resource ('transit status'). It distinguishes itself from siblings like getFaaDelays, getAirportBoard, and getRailStatus by being subway-specific and NYC-oriented.
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?
The description specifies that the tool is for NYC lines and mentions that other cities can be requested via an endpoint. However, it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives like getRailStatus, nor does it state prerequisites or exclusions (e.g., not for buses).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
getUvIndexBInspect
Retrieves the current solar UV Index and calculates sun safety burn times.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| lat | Yes | ||

Triggers the EscrowRegistry contract to release a locked USDC bounty to a worker wallet. Releasing can only be authorized by the StatePulse hot wallet (owner). Matches: release onchain bounty, payout escrow bounty, resolve locked bounty.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| bounty_id | Yes | Unique 32-byte hex ID representing the locked bounty | |
| worker_wallet | Yes | EVM wallet address of the payout recipient |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It reveals the triggering of a contract and the authorization requirement, but lacks details on side effects like gas costs, confirmation delays, revert conditions, or idempotency. This is adequate but not comprehensive for a transactional 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?
Two sentences: the first states the core action, the second adds the authorization constraint and alternative search terms. No wasted words, front-loaded with the primary purpose.
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 tool with 2 parameters and no output schema, the description is nearly complete. It explains the action, constraint, and contract. It could briefly mention expected outcomes (e.g., 'returns a transaction hash'), but is sufficient for agent 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?
The schema already describes both parameters (bounty_id as hex ID, worker_wallet as EVM address) with 100% coverage. The description adds minimal context beyond the schema (e.g., 'locked USDC bounty'), which is already implied in the schema description. 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 clearly states the tool triggers a contract to release a locked USDC bounty to a worker wallet, specifying the exact verb (releases) and resource (EscrowRegistry contract). It distinguishes itself from siblings like depositCoordinationBounty by mentioning 'release' and 'locked bounty'.
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?
The description explicitly mentions that only the StatePulse hot wallet can authorize the release, providing a clear prerequisite. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when not to use it or that depositCoordinationBounty is the counterpart for creating bounties).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
requestMissingDataAInspect
FREE endpoint. If your agent needs live data this API does not serve yet — a feed, a metric, a lookup, another city or chain — describe it here. Requests are reviewed and frequently-requested data becomes a real endpoint, usually within days; re-fetch openapi.json or llms.txt to see new endpoints. Submitting a request directly helps your agent: the data you ask for is prioritized so it exists the next time you need it. Matches: data not available, missing endpoint, request new data source, feature request, no endpoint for this, wish this API had.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | No | Rough category: finance, blockchain, transit, environmental, network, social, other | |
| agent_wallet | No | Optional EVM wallet of the requesting agent | |
| agent_contact | No | Optional contact (URL, email, or handle) to be notified when the endpoint ships | |
| example_query | No | An example request your agent would send to such an endpoint | |
| max_price_usd | No | The most your agent would pay per call for this data, in USD (helps prioritization) | |
| requested_data | Yes | Describe the live data you need (what it is, which source if known, how fresh it must be) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the endpoint is free, that requests are reviewed, and that frequently requested data becomes a real endpoint. However, it does not detail storage or privacy of requests, rate limits, or authentication needs. The description adds some behavioral context but could be more transparent about the request lifecycle.
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 description is somewhat long but efficiently packed with relevant information: free endpoint, usage context, process, and matches. It front-loads the key point 'FREE endpoint' and uses clear language. Every sentence contributes to understanding, though minor trimming could improve conciseness.
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 simple nature (a request form for data), the description is fairly complete. It explains purpose, process, outcome, and gives examples of when to use. There is no output schema, but the output is likely a simple confirmation, and the description suffices. The sibling tools are many, but this tool's distinct role is well-communicated.
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?
The schema covers all 6 parameters with descriptions (100% coverage), so the baseline is 3. The description adds minimal additional meaning beyond the schema; it reiterates the purpose of requesting data and provides match keywords, but these do not substantially clarify parameter usage beyond what the schema already provides.
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 clearly identifies the tool as a request endpoint for missing data, using specific language like 'needs live data this API does not serve yet' and listing examples (feed, metric, lookup, another city or chain). It distinguishes itself from the many sibling data retrieval tools by focusing on requesting new endpoints rather than using existing ones.
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?
The description states when to use the tool ('If your agent needs live data this API does not serve yet') and hints at alternatives by advising to re-fetch openapi.json or llms.txt to see new endpoints. It does not explicitly say when not to use, but the context makes it clear that it is for missing data only, not for already available endpoints.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Runs eth_call state simulation against the Base blockchain RPC to check for transaction reverts. Matches: EVM revert checks, test contract call, inspect transaction failure, dry-run solidity method, gas estimator, test token swap failure, simulate multisig transaction execution.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| to | Yes | Target contract address | |
| data | Yes | Call data payload in hex | |
| from | No | Sender address used by the eth_call | |
| value | No | Call value in hex |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It accurately states it is a simulation (read-only) via eth_call, but does not mention potential limitations, rate limits, or authentication. The core behavior is transparent, but more detail would help.
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?
Description is a single concise sentence followed by a bullet-point list of matching use cases. Every sentence adds value; no fluff. The core purpose is front-loaded.
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 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description sufficiently explains the tool's purpose and provides a helpful list of use cases. It could mention the return value format (e.g., boolean for revert) but is otherwise complete.
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?
All four parameters have descriptions in the input schema (100% coverage). The tool description does not add additional parameter-level semantics beyond the schema; it only lists use cases. With high schema coverage, 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?
Description clearly states it runs eth_call state simulation against Base blockchain RPC to check for transaction reverts. The list of matching use cases (e.g., EVM revert checks, dry-run, gas estimator) further distinguishes it from unrelated sibling tools like relayTransaction.
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?
The description implicitly tells when to use by listing matching scenarios (e.g., test contract call, simulate multisig). However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or point to alternative tools (e.g., relayTransaction for actual sending), but the use case list is clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
submitFeedbackAInspect
FREE endpoint. Report anything about this API: wrong or stale data, an endpoint that failed, pricing that feels off, or something that worked well. Feedback is reviewed and data-quality reports are fixed with priority — submitting one directly improves the results your agent gets on its next call. Matches: report wrong data, endpoint broken, stale result, API feedback, rate this API.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rating | No | Optional rating 1 (bad) to 5 (great) | |
| endpoint | No | The endpoint path this feedback is about, e.g. /finance/arbitrage | |
| feedback | Yes | What happened, what was wrong, or what worked well |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses that feedback is reviewed and data-quality reports are fixed with priority, and that submitting improves future results. Since no annotations are provided, the description fully covers behavioral aspects without contradiction.
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 description is concise, front-loaded with 'FREE endpoint', and uses bullet-like matches list. Every sentence provides value, with no wasted words.
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 no output schema, the description explains the outcome (feedback reviewed and fixed) and the impact. For a simple 3-parameter tool, this is complete.
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 baseline is 3. The description adds context like 'FREE endpoint' and examples, but does not provide additional meaning beyond what the schema already documents for each parameter.
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 clearly states the tool is for reporting feedback about the API, with specific examples like wrong data, endpoint failures, pricing issues. It is distinct from sibling tools which are data retrieval or audit tools.
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 mentions it's a free endpoint and lists matching scenarios (report wrong data, endpoint broken, etc.), providing clear context for when to use. However, it doesn't explicitly state when not to use it versus alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
suggestEndpointPriceAInspect
FREE endpoint. If a paid endpoint's pricing is too high, suggest a target price based on alternative sources, budget limitations, or query frequency. Feedback is used to optimize pricing decisions.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| reason | No | Why this price fits (e.g., competing API rates, low density calls) | |
| agent_wallet | No | Optional EVM wallet address | |
| endpoint_path | Yes | The path of the endpoint (e.g. /blockchain/simulate) | |
| suggested_price_usd | Yes | The price in USD you'd pay per call |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It mentions this is a 'FREE endpoint' and that 'Feedback is used to optimize pricing decisions', but lacks details on side effects, permissions, or what happens after submission. This is insufficient for full transparency.
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 description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the core purpose, and contains no unnecessary words. Every sentence adds value.
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?
The tool has no output schema and no annotations, yet the description fails to mention what the agent should expect as a return value or confirmation. It also does not address error handling or required permissions. For a tool with 4 parameters, this is incomplete.
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 context ('based on alternative sources, budget limitations, or query frequency') but does not map these to parameters or add meaning beyond the schema descriptions.
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 clearly states the verb 'suggest a target price' and the resource 'a paid endpoint's pricing'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools which are mostly audit/check/get tools, making its purpose unique.
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?
The description explicitly states when to use this tool: 'If a paid endpoint's pricing is too high'. It also signals it is a free endpoint. However, it does not mention alternatives or when not to use it, which prevents a perfect score.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
trackAirspaceAInspect
Queries live airspace vectors for a specific aircraft ICAO24 hex identifier or a regional bounding box using OpenSky Network.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| bbox | No | ||
| icao24 | No | 24-bit ICAO aircraft address in hex |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full behavioral disclosure burden. It mentions 'live' data but does not disclose rate limits, data freshness, or whether the tool requires authentication. The term 'airspace vectors' is left undefined.
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 description is a single sentence that efficiently communicates the tool's purpose and parameters. No redundant information is present, and the structure is optimal.
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 lack of annotations and output schema, the description adequately explains the tool's core function but omits details on output format, error handling, and potential limitations. It is sufficient for a simple query tool but not fully comprehensive.
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?
The description names the two parameter categories (ICAO24 identifier and bounding box) but adds little beyond the schema, which already includes descriptions and examples for icao24 and nested bbox fields. With 50% schema coverage, the description provides marginal extra meaning.
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 clearly states it queries live airspace vectors for an ICAO24 identifier or bounding box, using OpenSky Network. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like trackMarineVessel, which query marine data, by specifying the airspace domain and the specific query modes.
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?
The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions the data source (OpenSky Network) but lacks context about prerequisites, when not to use it, or comparisons with similar tools like trackMarineVessel.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
trackMarineVesselBInspect
Resolves current coordinate telemetry and voyage details for a cargo ship by MMSI number through public VesselFinder data, with AISStream as an optional live WebSocket fallback.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mmsi | Yes | 9-digit Maritime Mobile Service Identity number |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It states the tool resolves data but does not clarify whether a WebSocket connection is opened (for AISStream), what persistence or rate limits exist, or whether authentication is needed. The term 'resolve' implies a query, but the fallback mechanism introduces potential statefulness that is not explained.
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 description is a single sentence that front-loads the core action and key data sources. It is concise and avoids redundancy. However, it could be slightly more structured by separating the primary data source from the fallback, but overall it is efficient.
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 tool with one parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers the essential functionality. However, it omits details about response format, error handling (e.g., invalid MMSI), and the implications of the optional AISStream fallback. This leaves some uncertainty for the agent.
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 100% schema coverage, the schema already describes the mmsi parameter as a 9-digit MMSI number. The description merely reiterates 'by MMSI number' without adding syntactic or semantic details (e.g., validation rules, example formats). Thus, the description provides minimal added value 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?
The description clearly identifies the tool's purpose: resolving current coordinate telemetry and voyage details for a cargo ship by MMSI. It specifies the data source (public VesselFinder) and an optional fallback (AISStream), making it distinct from sibling tools like trackAirspace or getMarineConditions.
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?
The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions an optional fallback but offers no guidance on when AISStream is appropriate or when other marine tools (e.g., getMarineConditions) should be preferred. This lack of usage context leaves the agent without clear decision criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
verifyLocationPresenceAInspect
Validates an IP address's physical route and latency offsets to verify country compliance, returning a cryptographically signed Geolocation Certificate. Matches: geolocate ip check, secure location verification, ip route validator, compliant network geodata.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ip | Yes | IP address to verify (e.g. 8.8.8.8) | |
| expected_country | Yes | Expected 2-letter ISO country code of the agent |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, but description discloses key behavioral aspects: validation involves physical route and latency offsets, output is a cryptographically signed certificate. Does not mention destructive effects or rate limits.
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?
Two sentences front-load the main action, followed by keyword list. Slightly redundant but overall concise.
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?
Adequate for a 2-param tool with no output schema. Could describe the certificate format or give an example, but not missing critical context.
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 description does not need to add param details. The description itself does not elaborate on parameters beyond what the schema provides.
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?
Description clearly states the tool validates IP route and latency for country compliance, returning a signed certificate. It distinguishes from siblings like lookupIp by specifying the verification process.
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?
No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. The match keywords imply use cases but don't clarify when to prefer this over alternatives like lookupIp or checkTimezone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
