One piece of advice

content_advice

Use when an agent must end a reply with something usable rather than a platitude: one piece of practical advice about work, life or money, in English or Spanish. Short, concrete and usable - not a fortune cookie. Filterable by topic, with an id to avoid repeats and a seed for reproducibility. $0.005 per call, paid over x402 (USDC).

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full load, and it discloses the cost model ($0.005 per call, paid over x402/USDC), the output style (short, concrete, not a platitude), and reproducibility via seed. It omits what a payment failure or exhausted exclusion list looks like, and does not describe the response payload.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three sentences, front-loaded with the usage trigger, followed by output character and cost. The 'not a fortune cookie' clause is slightly flavorful but earns its place by delineating quality expectations.

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 zero-required-param generator with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers purpose, output character, cost, and reproducibility. It is only slightly short of complete because the actual returned fields and payment-failure behavior are left unstated.

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 coverage is 100%, so all four parameters are already documented with enums and defaults. The description restates them (topic filtering, id to avoid repeats, seed for reproducibility) without adding syntax or edge-case guidance beyond the schema, which is the baseline 3 case.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description names a specific verb+resource: return one piece of practical advice about work, life or money, explicitly contrasted with a platitude/fortune cookie. It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like content_joke or content_fact by content type, though it never names those alternatives.

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?

Gives a concrete trigger — end a reply with something usable rather than a platitude — which tells the agent exactly when to reach for it. It stops short of stating when NOT to use it or naming a sibling to prefer instead.

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