Tool DescriptionsA

Average 4.1/5 across 6 of 6 tools scored. Lowest: 3.1/5.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clear, distinct purpose: fetch retrieves documents, get_market_data_endpoint builds URLs, get_pricing_info shows pricing, list_instruments lists instruments, search performs catalog search, and search_pairs discovers symbols. No overlap in functionality.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (e.g., list_instruments, get_pricing_info). The naming is predictable and uniform across the set.

Tool Count5/5

With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for a read-only information retrieval service. It provides sufficient coverage for documentation and metadata queries without being over- or under-sized.

Completeness2/5

The tools are entirely read-only and free, covering only preliminary steps like searching and fetching docs. There are no tools for actual payment operations (e.g., initiate payment, check balance, handle credentials), which is a significant gap given the server's name 'agentic-payments'.

Available Tools

6 tools
fetchCatalog FetchA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Fetch one document or instrument guide returned by search. This is free, read-only content retrieval with no account, credential, payment, or live-price side effects.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesResult id returned by the search tool, for example doc:pricing, doc:quickstart, or instrument:crypto:BTCUSD.

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription
resultYes
Behavior3/5

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

Description adds 'read-only' which aligns with readOnlyHint annotation. Does not expand beyond annotations, but no contradiction.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no superfluous information.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a single-parameter tool with output schema, description sufficiently covers purpose and parameter context.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Description explains that the 'id' parameter comes from search results, adding meaning beyond the bare schema. Schema coverage is 0%, so description compensates well.

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?

Clearly states it fetches full contents of a document or instrument guide returned by search, distinguishing it from siblings like search (which returns IDs) and list_instruments.

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?

Explicitly says to use after search, implying when to use. Does not mention alternatives or when not to use, but context makes it clear.

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

get_market_data_endpointLive Data Endpoint BuilderA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Build the exact x402-protected HTTP URL for one live market-data request. Returns method, URL, service notes, pricing docs, and next steps; it is read-only and does not fetch prices, charge a wallet, or submit payment.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
symbolYesExact pair or ticker to use in the paid HTTP URL, such as BTC-USD, AAPL, EURUSD, or XAUUSD. Use search_pairs first if unsure.
serviceYesLive HTTP data service to prepare: vwap for crypto VWAP, bidask for crypto pairs or supported equity tickers, fx for currency pairs, or metal for metals.

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription
resultYes
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. The description adds context by stating it does not fetch prices, charge wallet, or submit payment, and it returns service notes and pricing docs, going beyond annotations.

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?

The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the main action. It is concise but could be split for readability; still efficient.

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?

Given the tool builds a URL, the description covers return values adequately. Output schema exists but is not needed. It does not explain x402 protocol or preconditions, but is fairly complete for its purpose.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds a usage hint for symbol ('Use search_pairs first if unsure'), providing marginal extra value 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 clearly states it builds a specific HTTP URL for market data, distinguishing it from siblings like fetch which fetches prices. It specifies the exact output: method, URL, service notes, pricing docs, and next steps.

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?

The description explains what the tool does not do (fetch prices, charge wallet), providing context. However, it does not explicitly guide when to use this vs alternatives like fetch or search_pairs, though the schema hints at using search_pairs first.

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

get_pricing_infoPricing InformationA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Inspect current per-call prices, bulk credit tiers, and supported Solana and Base USDC settlement networks. This is free and read-only planning metadata; it does not initiate payment.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription
resultYes
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint. Description adds that the info is 'current' and for pre-use planning, but no contradiction or significant additional behavioral disclosure beyond annotations.

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?

Single sentence, no fluff, front-loaded with purpose. Every word earns its place.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Tool is simple (0 params, good annotations, output schema present). Description suffices to tell an agent what it returns and when to use it.

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

Parameters4/5

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

There are no parameters, so baseline is 4. Description does not need to add parameter details, and it does not misrepresent anything.

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?

Description clearly states the tool inspects pricing tiers, settlement networks, and credit options. It uses an imperative verb and differs from siblings (fetch, list_instruments, search, search_pairs) by focusing on pricing context.

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?

The description says to use 'before using Blocksize's paid HTTP API,' providing clear context for when it is applicable but not explicitly excluding alternatives or stating when not to use it.

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

list_instrumentsInstrument ListA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

List the supported instruments for one Blocksize service. This is free, read-only catalog metadata; it does not fetch live prices, create accounts, or start x402 payment.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
serviceNoBlocksize service namespace to list: vwap for crypto VWAP pairs, bidask for shared bid/ask symbols, fx for FX pairs, or metal for metals.vwap

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription
resultYes
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds the behavioral detail that it is 'free' and 'read-only' (reinforcing) and that it lists instruments for one service. This adds context beyond annotations.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the purpose. Every word adds value: lists purpose, gives examples, notes it's free and read-only. No fluff.

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?

Given the tool has one optional parameter and an output schema, the description covers the essential aspects: what it does, how to use it (specify service), and its safety profile. The output schema exists, so not describing the return format is acceptable. Minor gap: does not explicitly say 'returns a list', but 'list instruments' implies that.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The schema has one parameter 'service' with no description (0% coverage). The description provides example values ('vwap, bidask, fx, or metal'), adding meaning that the schema lacks. This compensates for the missing parameter descriptions.

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?

Description clearly states the verb 'list', the resource 'supported instruments', and the scope 'for one service', with examples (vwap, bidask, fx, metal). It distinguishes this tool from sibling tools (fetch, get_pricing_info, search, search_pairs) which perform different actions.

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?

The description explicitly says 'Use this to list...' and notes it is free and read-only, indicating safe usage. It provides context that a single service must be specified, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives. Given the distinct purpose vs siblings, this is clear enough.

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

search_pairsInstrument SearchB
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Discover supported symbols before using the paid HTTP API. Returns up to 50 catalog matches with asset class, available services, and pricing tier; it is free, read-only, and never returns live prices or starts payment.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryYesSymbol, ticker, asset, or pair to search for, such as BTC, BTC-USD, ETH, AAPL, EURUSD, or XAUUSD.
asset_classNoOptional asset-class filter. Use all for the full catalog, crypto for digital assets, equity/equities for supported stock tickers, fx for currency pairs, or metal for metals.all

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription
resultYes
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint; description adds 'free and read-only' which aligns. No additional behavioral traits disclosed (e.g., pagination, rate limits), but with annotations the bar is lower.

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?

Two concise sentences, each adding value. No wasted words; purpose and key constraint are front-loaded.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite having an output schema, the description lacks parameter explanations, which is a significant gap for a search tool with 2 parameters. Context of 'free' and 'before paid API' is helpful but insufficient for complete invocation guidance.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not explain the two parameters (query, asset_class). Since there are no param docs in schema and description adds nothing, the agent receives no guidance on what values to provide.

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?

Description clearly states the tool discovers supported crypto, FX, or metal symbols, specifying the resource and context (free, read-only). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_instruments' or 'search', so not a 5.

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?

Suggests using before the paid API, but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or comparison to alternatives. No mention of when 'search' or 'list_instruments' might be more appropriate.

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