Open auction of one name, if any

ud_get_name_auction
Read-onlyIdempotent

The open auction of one name, if any: venue, deadline, bid and the first-year cost. Pass name (such as get.plumbing).

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesA full domain name on an ending the catalog holds, lowercased, IDN as punycode. A bare word, a subdomain, an e-mail address or an unknown ending answers 400 `validation_failed` with `reason` and `suggestion`.
fieldsNoComma-separated top-level keys to keep: venue, venueLabel, endsAt, bid, bidCount, currency, firstYear, bidsJumped.

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the meaningful detail that an auction may not exist, but says nothing about error behavior, empty-result shape, or freshness of the auction data.

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?

A single tightly-packed sentence with no wasted words, front-loading the resource and then the returned fields. The trailing 'Pass name' instruction is compact but slightly redundant given the required parameter is already in the schema.

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 a full output schema and 100% parameter coverage, the description only needs to establish scope and the possible-absence case, both of which it does. Nothing critical is missing for an agent to call this correctly.

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 both parameters are fully documented in the schema with richer constraints than the description provides. The description only adds an example value (get.plumbing), which is marginal beyond the schema's own explanation of IDN punycode and validation errors; baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific resource with scope: 'the open auction of one name, if any', and previews the returned facts (venue, deadline, bid, first-year cost). An agent can distinguish this from a general name lookup, though no sibling such as ud_get_market_auctions is named explicitly.

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 'if any' phrasing implies the tool should be used when the existence of an auction is uncertain and signals an empty result is possible, which is useful usage nuance. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to choose this over siblings like ud_get_name or ud_get_market_auctions.

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