Live Price

live_price
Read-onlyIdempotent

Real-time cryptocurrency price lookup for supported coins. Uses CoinGecko first, Coinbase as a secondary no-key provider, then the most recent cached verified value with its age if both live providers are unavailable. Returns live USD price, 24-hour percentage change, and market capitalization when verified.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
_refNoOptional handover referral ID from your install link.
coinNoAlias for symbol. Accepts the same coin ticker or name, for example BTC.
symbolNoCoin ticker or name - BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, BNB, XRP, MATIC, AVAX, ADA, LINK, DOT, UNI, ATOM, NEAR, APT, OP, ARB, SUI, PEPE, WIF, BONK, TON, TRX, LTC, SHIB. Case-insensitive.
_zambo_keyNoOptional opaque Zambo access capability. Never place it in a URL or public log.
_session_idNoOptional stable bot-job ID. Reuse it across calls to bind a Day Pass and keep the job ledger together.
_caller_labelNoOptional caller label recorded as a caller-reported claim in the receipt.zambo-starter
_caller_handleNoOpaque anonymous continuity handle returned during initialize. Reuse it across MCP sessions; it is not payment authorization.
_continuity_ai_labelNoOptional self-reported AI client label for the private continuity timeline. Zambo does not independently verify the client.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful behavior beyond that: the CoinGecko -> Coinbase -> cache resolution order, and the fact that a cached result carries its age so the agent can judge staleness. It omits rate limits or failure modes when all three sources miss, which keeps it short of 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then fallback behavior, then return shape — every sentence carries information. Slightly dense phrasing ('the most recent cached verified value with its age') costs it the top score but nothing is filler.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With an output schema present, the description needn't enumerate return values, and safety is covered by annotations. It fills the remaining gap — data provenance and staleness — well, though it never clarifies the interplay between the two overlapping price inputs (symbol vs coin) or the continuity parameters for a tool that carries eight of them.

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 all 8 parameters — including the symbol/coin alias and the underscore-prefixed continuity fields — are already documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level detail (e.g. alias precedence between 'coin' and 'symbol'), so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Real-time cryptocurrency price lookup for supported coins') and enumerates exactly what is returned: USD price, 24h change, and market cap. No sibling tool competes for this capability, so differentiation is trivially satisfied and the scope is unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies when to use it (you want a current price) and explains the provider fallback chain, which tells the agent what data quality to expect. It never explicitly states when not to use it or points to an alternative, but no sibling offers overlapping functionality, so guidance is only implied rather than spelled out.

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