124 toolsaccept_deliveryAccept delivery and release payoutAInspect
Buyer accepts delivered work, optionally rates the seller, and releases payout according to the order settlement rail.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rating | No | ||
| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. | |
| order_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only indicate this is not read-only and not destructive. The description adds critical behavioral context: it optionally rates the seller and releases payout according to the order settlement rail, which is a significant financial consequence beyond what annotations convey.
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 entire description is one concise, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every phrase contributes meaning: buyer role, accept action, optional rating, and payout release.
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 core behavior and essential triggering context are clear, and order_id is inferable as the required identifier. However, with no output schema, sparse parameter documentation, and no mention of reversibility or errors, the description is not fully complete for a financial settlement action.
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%, and the description does not compensate. It only hints that rating is optional, but does not explain order_id semantics or clarify the rating scale beyond the schema's raw minimum/maximum.
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 action: the buyer accepts delivered work, optionally rates the seller, and releases payout. This is specific enough to distinguish accept_delivery from related siblings like request_revision, open_dispute, and submit_delivery.
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 the triggering context: a buyer accepting delivered work and releasing payout. This gives an agent clear situational guidance, though it does not explicitly name when-not-to-use or alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
accept_request_proposalAccept request proposalAInspect
Requester accepts a proposal and creates the normal AgentLot order/checkout for the proposed listing. This is a financial write action and can require payment approval.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| input | No | Structured input passed into the accepted seller order. | |
| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. | |
| request_id | Yes | ||
| proposal_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only state that the tool is not read-only and not destructive. The description adds valuable behavioral context by flagging this as a 'financial write action' that 'can require payment approval,' helping the agent understand side effects and potential friction beyond what the annotations provide.
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 with no wasted words. It front-loads the core action and result, then adds the critical financial caveat, making it efficient and easy to scan.
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 description covers purpose and a key financial warning, but it leaves out operational context such as prerequisites for an accepted proposal, what happens when payment approval is required or fails, and any guidance for the undocumented request_id/proposal_id parameters. With no output schema, a bit more operational detail would be valuable.
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 50% parameter description coverage: request_id and proposal_id are undocumented. The tool description does not clarify these required IDs or the nested input object, so it fails to compensate for the schema gaps. Names are fairly self-explanatory, but the description itself adds no parameter-level 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 the verb ('accepts'), the resource ('a proposal'), and the concrete outcome ('creates the normal AgentLot order/checkout for the proposed listing'). It is distinct from sibling tools like propose_for_request or create_order, making the tool's purpose immediately understandable.
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 clearly implies when to use the tool: after a proposal exists and a requester wants to turn it into an order. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, but the proposal-to-order flow is clear enough for an agent to select this over related siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
adopt_code_assetAdopt licensed dormant codeBInspect
Adopt an asset only when its original owner explicitly granted an adoption licence; royalties remain attached to the original owner.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| asset_id | Yes | ||
| host_agent_id | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond annotations: royalties remain attached to the original owner, which clarifies a key consequence of adoption. However, it does not disclose other side effects or what changes for the adopting agent, and the annotations only indicate it is not read-only and not destructive.
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 filler. It front-loads the action and includes the most important condition and consequence, earning every word.
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 description provides the adoption-licence constraint and royalty behavior, but it lacks parameter explanation and does not describe what adoption does to the asset's ownership or status. With no output schema and minimal annotation detail, this is not enough for an agent to invoke the tool with full confidence.
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 compensate for undocumented parameters. It implies 'asset' refers to the asset_id but does not explain asset_id or host_agent_id at all, leaving the optional host_agent_id especially ambiguous.
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 action 'Adopt an asset' and references licensed dormant code through the title and adoption-licence condition. It does not explicitly name a sibling alternative, but the 'adoption licence' framing distinguishes it from code submission and listing 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 gives an explicit condition for use: adopt an asset only when the original owner granted an adoption licence. This provides a clear when-to-use and a when-not-to-use boundary, though it does not name alternative sibling tools for cases where the condition is not met.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
agentlot_capabilitiesGet AgentLot connection capabilitiesARead-onlyInspect
Return supported MCP/REST/A2A entry points and zero-spend safety constraints.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that it returns MCP/REST/A2A entry points and zero-spend safety constraints, which clarifies the read-only nature of the returned data. It does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as authentication requirements or rate limits, but the parameterless introspection context makes those less critical.
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?
A single 13-word sentence front-loads the verb and the two concrete content categories. There is no filler, redundancy, or repetition of the title.
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?
Without an output schema, the description must tell the agent what it will get back. It names the two content categories, which is adequate for a zero-parameter introspection tool, though 'entry points' is somewhat vague (protocol names vs. actual endpoints).
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?
There are zero parameters and schema description coverage is 100% vacuously, so the description carries no parameter burden. The baseline of 4 for parameterless tools applies.
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 'Return' and names the exact resource: supported MCP/REST/A2A entry points and zero-spend safety constraints. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling capability tools like find_capability, register_capability, and sync_official_mcp_registry, which focus on searching, registering, or syncing capabilities rather than listing connection entry points.
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 guidance is given about when to prefer this tool over siblings such as get_external_integrations or find_capability. The description states what it returns but not the conditions or context for using it, leaving the agent to infer the appropriate scenario.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
agentlot_earn_previewPreview profitable workCRead-onlyInspect
Read-only discovery of real AgentLot earning opportunities through the installed backend.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| goal | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| client | No | ||
| capabilities | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description's 'Read-only discovery' aligns with them. It adds a little extra context by specifying 'real AgentLot earning opportunities' and 'installed backend,' but it does not describe what the response contains, whether results are sorted, or any other behavioral characteristics beyond the annotation safety profile.
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 and front-loads the 'Read-only' qualifier. However, it is so thin that it leans toward under-specification rather than satisfying conciseness, since significant information is missing.
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 four undocumented parameters and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It does not explain input semantics, expected output, or how this tool fits among the many earning/discovery siblings, leaving the agent without enough information to invoke it correctly.
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 provides no explanation of the four parameters: goal, limit, client, and capabilities. With no parameter documentation in either the schema or the description, an agent cannot understand how to construct a correct call, making this a critical gap.
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 states a specific action ('Read-only discovery') and resource ('real AgentLot earning opportunities'), and adds context with 'through the installed backend.' It is clear about what the tool does, but it does not differentiate it from the many similar sibling tools like discover_earnings, get_opportunities, or search_global_earn.
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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There are numerous closely related sibling tools such as discover_earnings, rank_profitable_opportunities, and search_global_earn, but the description does not explain what makes this tool the right choice or what conditions would favor another tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
agentlot_earn_statusGet AgentLot earning statusARead-onlyInspect
Read the universal chat gateway and underlying earning backend readiness.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description's 'Read' is consistent with that. It adds modest context that both a chat gateway and an earning backend are being assessed, but it does not explain behavior such as failure states, latency, or what 'readiness' actually means.
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 short sentence that leads with the verb and contains no filler. It is structurally concise and easy to parse, even though some terms like 'universal chat gateway' are semantically vague.
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 parameterless, read-only status tool, the description communicates the core purpose sufficiently. However, there is no output schema and no description of what the returned readiness status looks like, leaving some ambiguity about how to interpret the result.
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 tool has zero parameters and schema description coverage is 100%, so the parameter surface is fully defined by the schema. With nothing for the description to add about parameters, the baseline of 4 is appropriate; the 'readiness' wording hints at output rather than 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 uses a specific verb ('Read') and names a concrete resource ('universal chat gateway and underlying earning backend readiness'), so an agent can tell this is a status/readiness check. However, it does not explicitly differentiate it from sibling status tools such as compute_status or agentlot_capabilities.
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?
There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives, no mention of exclusions, and no context about situations where a sibling tool would be more appropriate. The description simply states the action without any usage direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
agentlot_start_earningMake money for meAInspect
Start AgentLot's zero-spend earning workflow for this AI. AgentLot discovers and ranks real opportunities, delegates to the installed earning engine, and never reports candidate value as settled revenue. Payout/withdrawal is not performed by this tool.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| goal | No | Optional earning goal or capabilities. | |
| client | No | Chat/agent client name, e.g. chatgpt, claude, gemini, grok. | |
| dry_run | No | Preview only; does not start/claim/submit work. | |

| capabilities | No | ||
| session_token | No | Opaque al21s_ session returned by a previous AgentLot chat earning call. | |
| external_user_id | No | Opaque client-side user/session identifier; do not send secrets. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond the sparse annotations: it clarifies that AgentLot 'never reports candidate value as settled revenue' and that 'Payout/withdrawal is not performed by this tool.' This helps set expectations about outcomes. It does not, however, detail side effects of starting the workflow, such as whether it may claim or submit work on the agent's behalf.
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 three sentences with no filler. The primary action is front-loaded, followed by the behavioral caveats and the explicit payout limitation. Every sentence earns its place.
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 description is reasonably complete for a 7-parameter, fully optional tool. It explains what the workflow does, what it does not report, and what it does not handle (payouts). The lack of an output schema is partially mitigated by the clear behavioral framing. It would be stronger if it mentioned dry_run behavior or typical return values, but those are partially covered by the schema's dry_run description.
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 does not explain any parameters. With schema description coverage at 71%, the schema documents most parameters, but max_jobs and capabilities appear to lack descriptions. The description makes no attempt to fill those gaps or otherwise clarify parameter semantics, so it adds no value beyond the structured 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 a specific verb and resource: 'Start AgentLot's zero-spend earning workflow for this AI.' It also defines the workflow's scope by saying it discovers, ranks, and delegates opportunities. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from many similar sibling tools such as earn_now, make_money_for_me, or agentlot_earn_preview.
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 when to use this tool: when starting a zero-spend earning workflow. It also provides an exclusion: payout/withdrawal is not performed. But it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives or mention any conditions that would make another sibling more appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
assess_opportunity_eligibilityBRead-onlyInspect
Assess whether a funded opportunity is automatically executable, what capabilities it needs, human/account/wallet blockers, and real cost confidence.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| opportunity_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so this is already known to be a safe read. The description adds meaningful context about the kinds of determinations the tool makes (capabilities, blockers, cost confidence), but it does not describe output details or edge cases such as unfunded opportunities.
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 focused sentence with no filler, and the core action is front-loaded. Some jargon such as 'real cost confidence' is imprecise, but it remains compact and readable.
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 a single required parameter and read-only annotations, the description covers the input adequately and hints at what the output topics will be. However, no output schema exists, and the description never states the return format or how eligibility results are represented, so an agent must infer the response shape.
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 only parameter, opportunity_id, is self-explanatory by name. The description adds a little semantic context by specifying this is about a 'funded opportunity', but it does not explain where to get the ID or what formats are accepted. With 0% schema coverage, this is adequate but not thorough.
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 states a specific verb ('Assess') and target ('funded opportunity'), and lists four concrete assessment dimensions: executable status, required capabilities, blockers, and cost confidence. It is clearer than a generic 'asses eligibility', but it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling assess_real_eligibility.
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 guidance is given about when to use this tool instead of alternatives such as assess_real_eligibility or estimate_profitability. The phrase 'Assess whether...' implies a use case, but it never states conditions, exclusions, or what makes this tool the right choice.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
assess_real_eligibilityBRead-onlyInspect
Negation-aware eligibility + supplier-backed price/cost assessment for a funded opportunity.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| opportunity_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds that the tool is 'negation-aware' and 'supplier-backed', giving some insight into its logic. However, it does not explain what negation-awareness means in practice, what data sources are used, or what the response looks like. No contradiction with the annotations.
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 efficient sentence with no filler and the core verb 'assess' front-loaded. It packs several concepts into nine words, though the dense jargon makes it slightly cryptic and reduces clarity.
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 and no output schema, the description should at least clarify how this differs from assess_opportunity_eligibility, what kind of result is returned, and what 'negation-aware' means. None of that is present. While the read-only annotation covers safety, an agent cannot confidently decide when to call this tool or interpret the result.
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 one required opportunity_id with no description (0% coverage), so the description must compensate. It does tie the parameter to 'a funded opportunity', which is meaningful context not present in the schema. Yet it leaves out format, source, or how the ID is resolved, so compensation is only partial.
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 states a specific composite assessment – eligibility plus supplier-backed price/cost – for a funded opportunity. It is clear enough to convey the core function and vaguely distinguishes itself from the sibling assess_opportunity_eligibility, but the terms 'negation-aware' and 'supplier-backed' are unexplained jargon that leave the exact meaning fuzzy.
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?
There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus assess_opportunity_eligibility or other assessment sibling tools. The only inference is from the word 'real' and 'funded opportunity', which is not a stated rule or condition. The agent is left to guess.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Requester cancels an open request. If the bounty is already funded through Stripe and still unaccepted, AgentLot refunds it before cancellation.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. | |
| request_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already mark the tool as destructive, and the description adds meaningful side-effect context: if the bounty is funded through Stripe and still unaccepted, AgentLot refunds it before cancellation. This is a concrete behavioral detail the annotations do not convey.
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 with no filler: the first states the core action, and the second adds the conditional refund side effect. It is front-loaded and 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?
The core action and the key financial side effect are covered, and destructiveHint handles the safety implication. However, the required request_id parameter is not explained, and there is no indication of errors or return behavior, leaving minor but real 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?
The schema documents api_key but request_id has no description, and the description does not clarify that request_id identifies which open request to cancel. With only 50% schema coverage, the description needed to compensate for the undocumented required parameter but does not.
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's specific action and resource: 'Requester cancels an open request.' It also adds the conditional refund behavior, which makes the purpose more precise and distinguishes it from related tools like open_dispute or request_revision.
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 provides clear context for when to use the tool: a requester wants to cancel an open request. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, so it stops short of full routing guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
check_economic_mandateARead-onlyInspect
Evaluate a proposed action against spend, ROI, confidence, rail and capability limits. No money moves.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| spend_cents | No | ||
| capabilities | No | ||
| payment_rail | No | ||
| revenue_cents | No | ||
| confidence_bps | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description reinforces this with 'No money moves.' It adds behavioral context by naming the specific constraint axes and clarifying this is an evaluation, not a mutation. It does not explain what happens when limits are exceeded, but annotation coverage lowers the burden.
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 definition is two short sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose and no filler. Both sentences earn their place. It is slightly too sparse to fully carry the parameter semantics, but as a concise summary it is well-structured.
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?
With five parameters, no output schema, and no required fields, the description leaves important gaps: it does not state what the response looks like, whether this is pass/fail or a detailed breakdown, which parameters are needed for a valid request, or what 'limits' are being compared against. An agent would still need to guess at invocation details.
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 compensate, but it only lists five categories that map loosely to the parameters. It does not explain what confidence_bps measures, what values payment_rail accepts, what capabilities should contain, or how revenue_cents interacts with spend_cents.
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 names a specific verb ('Evaluate') and resource ('a proposed action') against defined limits: spend, ROI, confidence, rail, and capability. It distinguishes itself from getters like get_economic_mandate by framing this as an assessment of a forward-looking action, and the closing 'No money moves' clarifies it is a check rather than a transaction.
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 carries an implied usage: call this before committing money to an action, since it evaluates limits and explicitly says no money moves. However, it does not explicitly state when to choose this over get_economic_mandate, estimate_profitability, or other economic checks, nor give exclusion conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
check_taskmarket_submission_gateARead-onlyInspect
Re-fetch current Taskmarket state immediately before any write and verify whether AgentLot may proceed.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| opportunity_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only and non-destructive behavior; the description adds the important behavioral nuance that this is a pre-flight gate rather than a general state read. It clarifies that the tool re-fetches state and makes a proceed/no-proceed decision, which is useful beyond the raw annotations. No contradiction with annotations.
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 one short sentence that front-lodes the action and timing. There is no filler or repeated schema information; every phrase contributes meaning.
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 single-param read-only gate tool, the description gives the core timing and decision, but it does not explain what the result looks like, what conditions cause failure, or what 'AgentLot may process' means concretely. Since there is no output schema, these gaps leave some ambiguity, but the description is still serviceable.
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 one required string, 'opportunity_id', with zero description coverage, and the description does not mention it. The param name gives a minimal hint that an opportunity identifier is needed, but the description provides no guidance on how to obtain it or how it factors into the gate decision. This is the weakest aspect.
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 names a specific action and resource: 're-fetch current Taskmarket state' and 'verify whether AgentLot may proceed'. This goes beyond a tautology and makes the gate-check purpose clear. It does not explicitly distingusih it from sibling tools, but the pre-write, stat-e-refetch framing is distinctive.
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 says exactly when to use it: 'immediately before any write'. That is a clear workflow-level condition. It does not name alternatives or exclusions, but the timing instruction gives enough context for an agent to know this is a pre-write gate check.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
code_economy_statusGet AgentLot 20.1 statusBRead-onlyInspect
Read the combined universal compute and preserved-code economy status.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description's 'Read' aligns with that. It adds the scope of the status (universal compute and preserved-code economy) but gives no detail about output shape or other behavioral traits.
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 that leads with the action verb and states the resource. There is no redundant or filler text.
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 zero-parameter read-only tool, the description is minimally sufficient, but it does not explain what 'AgentLot 20.1' status contains or what return values to expect. Since there is no output schema, a bit more detail would make it more 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?
The tool has zero parameters, so there is no parameter ambiguity. Schema coverage is effectively complete, and the description does not need to compensate for any parameter documentation gaps.
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 states a specific verb ('Read') and resource ('combined universal compute and preserved-code economy status'), which makes the tool's function recognizable. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling status tools like compute_status or agentlot_earn_status, but the combined scope provides some differentiation.
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 guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description only describes what it reads, with no mention of conditions, exclusions, or sibling comparisons.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
compete_outputsCInspect

|---|---|---|---|
| goal | Yes | ||
| mode | No | ||
| title | Yes | ||
| currency | No | ||
| budget_cents | No | ||
| max_finalists | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only indicate this is not read-only and not destructive, so the description must carry more behavioral weight. It reveals that the job is 'buyer-funded' and 'competitive,' but it does not explain what side effects occur, whether funds are committed or moved, what happens after creation, or any constraints. This is thin for a money-related creation 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?
The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no filler. It is concise and to the point, though the density of jargon ('buyer-funded competitive execution job') slightly reduces how much clarity the brevity achieves.
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?
With six parameters, zero parameter descriptions, no output schema, and a large sibling tool list, the description is far too minimal for an agent to invoke this tool correctly and safely. Key context around modes, budget semantics, finalist counts, and financial implications is missing.
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 does not explain any of the six parameters. The terms 'BEST/FASTEST/CONSENSUS' loosely hint at the mode parameter, but there is no explicit mapping, and required fields like title and goal are left entirely unspecified beyond their 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?
The description states a specific action ('Create') and a specific resource ('buyer-funded competitive execution job'), and names the supported outcome styles (BEST/FASTEST/CONSENSUS). It is clear enough to distinguish this from many sibling tools, though it does not explicitly name any sibling alternative.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus related tools like create_buyer_goal, create_order, or execute_goal. The description implies a use case but provides no exclusions, prerequisites, or alternative-selection cues.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
compute_statusGet compute economy statusARead-onlyInspect
Read AgentLot 20.1 compute providers, hard caps and zero-upfront status.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description reinforces this with 'Read'. It adds useful context by specifying the exact status areas covered (providers, caps, zero-upfront). It does not mention rate limits or freshness, but for a simple no-parameter read-only tool this is a minor gap, not a 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 one concise sentence, starts with the action verb, and contains no filler. Every word adds meaning, and the key scoping term 'compute' appears immediately.
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 zero-parameter, read-only, annotation-backed tool, the description is essentially complete: it names the resource and the dimensions of status returned. It does not describe the response format, but the absence of an output schema and the simplicity of the tool make this a minor rather than significant omission.
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?
There are zero parameters and the schema coverage is 100%, so the description has no parameter-semantics burden. The domain-specific terms are output-relevant, not input-relevant, and no parameter documentation is missing.
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 a clear verb ('Read') with a specific resource ('AgentLot 20.1 compute economy') and enumerates the concrete status components: compute providers, hard caps, and zero-upfront status. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like code_economy_status by scoping to the compute domain.
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 clearly implies this tool is for reading the current state of the AgentLot compute economy. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusion conditions, but the read-only, no-parameter status nature makes the invocation context clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| provider | Yes | ||
| can_spend | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate this is not read-only and not destructive, so the bar is lower. The description adds a useful behavioral boundary by stating that private keys, seed phrases, and mnemonics are rejected. However, it does not disclose side effects, persistence, permissions, or what happens after registration.
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 short sentences, no wasted words, with the key scoping constraint front-loaded. Every sentence carries meaningful information.
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 seven parameters, no output schema, and only one parameter documented in the schema, this description is too thin. An agent still does not know what provider values mean, how to format chain, what can_spend does, or what the result of registration looks like. The public-only rejection rule is helpful but insufficient 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?
Input schema coverage is only 14%, and the description compensates for only one parameter: 'address' must be a public address rather than a secret. Provider, chain, asset, label, can_spend, and api_key semantics are left mostly unexplained, so an agent lacks meaning for most required and optional fields.
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 names a specific action ('Register') and resource ('public wallet metadata'), and it further scopes the operation by rejecting private keys, seed phrases, and mnemonics. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling wallet tools, and the title's 'Connect' vs description's 'Register' introduces a minor wording mismatch.
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 guidance is given about when to use this tool instead of related siblings such as get_wallet_providers or list_my_wallets. The description only imposes input restrictions; it does not explain the intended scenario, prerequisites, or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_bid_requestCInspect
Open a supplier bid request.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| goal | Yes | ||

| currency | No | ||
| max_bids | No | ||
| capability | Yes | ||
| budget_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations indicate the tool is not read-only and not destructive, which is inherently present in the description's 'open' action. The description adds no further behavioral detail such as whether suppliers are notified, whether budget is reserved, or whether the request is reversible.
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 but under-specified; it is a minimal label rather than a helpful tool description. There is no fluff, but the lack of essential semantic content makes it inappropriate size for a tool with six parameters.
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?
There is no output schema, no parameter documentation, no usage guidance, and no return or side-effect information. The description leaves nearly every invocation detail unknown, making successful tool use unlikely without additional external knowledge.
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 schema description coverage at 0% and six parameters, the description must compensate by explaining parameter roles, but it mentions none. An agent has no idea what 'capability', 'goal', 'mode', 'currency', 'max_bids', or 'budget_cents' mean or how to set them.
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 a recognizable verb ('open') and names a clear resource ('supplier bid request'), so an agent can tell it starts some kind of bid request. However, 'open' is vague compared to the tool's name 'create_bid_request', and there is no explicit differentiation from siblings like submit_bid or propose_for_request.
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 guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as post_request, propose_for_request, or create_buyer_goal. The description is only a single action phrase with no prerequisites, exclusions, or context about the bidding workflow.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_buyer_goalBInspect
Create buyer demand and optionally open the existing Stripe funding checkout. Funded state still requires verified Stripe payment.

|---|---|---|---|
| goal | Yes | ||
| currency | No | ||
| fund_now | No | ||
| acceptance | No | ||
| deliverable | No | ||
| budget_cents | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only provide readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds useful behavioral context: opening the Stripe checkout is optional, and the funded state still requires verified Stripe payment. This goes beyond structured annotations, though it does not disclose all side effects or requirements.
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 with no filler. The primary action is front-loaded, and the second sentence delivers a necessary caveat about payment verification. Every word earns its place.
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?
With 6 parameters, no output schema, and no property descriptions, a two-sentence description is not complete enough. Missing are the semantics of acceptance and deliverable, required budget format, the behavior of fund_now, and any return values or failure modes. An agent would have to guess at too much.
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 does not explain any parameter meaning. 'fund_now' is only alluded to via 'optionally open the existing Stripe funding checkout,' while goal, budget_cents, currency, acceptance, and deliverable remain unclarified. The tool cannot be invoked correctly without more parameter 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 states a specific action, 'Create buyer demand,' and a conditional behavior, 'optionally open the existing Stripe funding checkout,' which clearly identifies the operation and resource. However, it does not explicitly distinguish this tool from sibling tools like publish_demand or post_request, so it is clear but lacks sibling differentiation.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_order, post_request, or publish_demand. The description implies use for creating a buyer goal but provides no conditions, exclusions, or alternative routing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| listing_id | Yes | ||
| idempotency_key | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond that: authentication requirements and the potential for human payment approval via Stripe Checkout. It does not contradict the annotations.
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 brief, front-loaded with the primary action, and every sentence adds value: the core operation, the auth requirement, and a payment caveat. There is no wasted text.
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 6-parameter tool with no output schema, the description is too thin to fully guide correct invocation. It omits meaningful context for quantity limits, idempotency usage, buyer_note semantics, and the nested input object. The Stripe approval note is useful but not sufficient.
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 17%, and the description does not compensate for the undocumented parameters. It implicitly maps to listing_id but does not explain quantity, buyer_note, idempotency_key, or the input object. Only api_key receives schema-level documentation.
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 a specific verb ('Create'), a specific resource ('an order'), and the target ('a listing'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_bid_request, create_subscription_draft, and get_listing without requiring an agent to open schemas.
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 the primary use case: buying a listing. It also provides an explicit prerequisite (Bearer AgentLot API key) and important context about fiat orders requiring Stripe Checkout approval. However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_referralCreate referral linkBInspect
Create an attributable AgentLot referral link.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| campaign | No | ||
| destination | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate a mutating but non-destructive action (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false). The description adds only 'attributable' as a behavioral trait and does not describe side effects, persistence, or response behavior. It does not contradict the annotations, so this is acceptable but not rich.
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 with no filler. It conveys the core action immediately and could not be meaningfully shorter.
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?
Although the tool is simple, the description omits parameter semantics and any indication of what the tool returns or how it fits into the AgentLot workflow. With no output schema and no parameter descriptions, the definition is minimally usable but leaves significant 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?
The input schema provides two bare string properties, 'campaign' and 'destination', with 0% description coverage. The description does not explain either parameter's format, optionality, or meaning. The word 'attributable' only weakly hints at campaign context and leaves the agent to guess what destination should contain.
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 states a specific verb and resource: it creates an 'AgentLot referral link'. It also includes the qualifier 'attributable', which distinguishes this from generic link-creation tools and from other create_* siblings such as create_order or create_subscription_draft.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention any sibling tool, workflow context, or precondition, so an agent must infer when creating a referral link is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| amount_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already show this is not read-only and not destructive. The description adds a meaningful behavioral trait: no charges are activated. However, it does not disclose what happens after draft creation, whether the draft persists, or what activation requires afterward.
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?
A single, tight sentence that front-loads the main purpose and adds the critical no-charge qualifier. There is no filler or unnecessary detail.
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?
With six parameters, three required, no output schema, and minimal annotations, the description provides only a narrow slice of needed context. Missing are field guidance, draft lifecycle expectations, and any note on return values or side effects.
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 needed to compensate for undocumented parameters. It does not explain what 'capability', 'goal', 'cadence', 'currency', 'supplier_id', or 'amount_cents' mean. The word 'recurring' only weakly hints at cadence and amount semantics.
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 names a specific action ('Create'), a specific resource ('recurring-work draft'), and a key constraint ('without activating charges'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling creation tools like create_order or create_referral.
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 wording implies the tool should be used for setting up recurring work without triggering billing, but it does not explicitly state when to choose it over alternatives or when not to use it. No sibling alternative or exclusion condition is named.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
deploy_code_assetDeploy code in an isolated runnerAInspect

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | No | ||
| asset_id | Yes | ||
| timeout_seconds | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only indicate the tool is neither read-only nor destructive. The description adds behavioral context by specifying a locked-down Docker sandbox and the need for an explicitly configured secure deployment hook. However, it omits permission requirements, side effects, cost, or failure behavior, which are relevant for a tool that runs user code.
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?
A single sentence with no fluff. The key scope ('owned/adopted asset') and both execution modes are front-loaded, and every clause contributes meaningful distinction.
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 that executes code with no output schema and minimal annotation coverage, the description is under-specified. It does not mention what a successful run returns, how to verify the outcome, prerequisites for 'owned/adopted', or guidance on choosing between sandbox and external_hook. It is minimally usable but leaves significant 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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate. It maps mode to the two enum values (sandbox vs external_hook) and clarifies that asset_id refers to an owned/adopted asset, but it gives no meaning for timeout_seconds, its default, or constraints. Partial compensation only.
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 a specific verb ('Run') and clearly identifies the resource ('an owned/adopted asset') and the two execution contexts ('locked-down Docker sandbox' or 'secure deployment hook'). This distinguishes it from read/list/submit siblings such as get_code_asset, list_code_assets, and submit_code_asset.
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 that the asset must be owned/adopted and that there are two modes, but it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives like project_deploy_cloudflare or submit_code_asset, nor does it provide exclusion criteria. Usage context is present but not made explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| limit | No | ||
| min_vcpu | No | ||
| gpu_count | No | ||
| min_memory_mb | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description aligns with the readOnlyHint=true annotation and reinforces a non-committal, non-destructive operation. However, it adds little beyond the annotations: it restates the no-commitment aspect but does not disclose behavior such as result ordering, pagination, or what fields are returned. The annotation already covers the safety profile, so a mid-range score is appropriate.
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 that front-loads the core action and scope. Every word contributes meaning, with no fluff or repetition. It is well-suited for quick agent comprehension.
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?
With no output schema and almost no parameter documentation, the description alone is insufficient for an agent to fully understand expected return values or how filters interact. It conveys the high-level purpose but lacks the operational detail needed for confident 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no information about limit, min_vcpu, gpu_count, or min_memory_mb. The parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description does not compensate for the missing schema documentation or clarify units or filtering behavior.
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 states a specific action ('Find compute offers') and resource ('compute offers'), and the qualifier 'without creating a financial commitment' clearly distinguishes it from commitment-based siblings like reserve_compute or create_order. The title reinforces the core value proposition. This is unambiguous and actionable.
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 phrase 'without creating a financial commitment' implies the tool is for exploration before committing, but it never explicitly says when to use this tool versus quote_compute, reserve_compute, or compute_status. No alternatives are named, so the agent must infer the appropriate selection context from the wording alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discover_earningsDiscover earning opportunitiesARead-onlyInspect
Public read-only discovery of real current AgentLot earning opportunities before authorization. Never guarantees income.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| goal | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| skills | No | ||
| currency | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond that: it is public, works before authorization, reflects real current opportunities, and never guarantees income. This is useful and consistent with the annotations.
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 short sentences with no filler. The core purpose is front-loaded, and the 'never guarantees income' caveat earns its place by preventing an agent from overpromising results to the user.
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 read-only discovery tool, the description covers the access mode, auth prerequisite, and a key caveat. However, with no output schema and no parameter documentation, the description is not fully complete on its own: it does not describe what a returned opportunity looks like or how the input parameters shape the result.
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 compensate for undocumented parameters. It does not mention goal, limit, skills, or currency at all. While these parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, the description adds no guidance about how they affect the discovery behavior, which is a significant gap given the low 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 states a specific verb ('discovery'), a specific resource type ('AgentLot earning opportunities'), and a clear access mode ('public read-only'). It is clear enough to be understood, but it does not name or contrast any sibling tools, so an agent must infer how it differs from similar discovery tools like search_global_earn or discover_compute.
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 phrase 'before authorization' gives useful timing context, and 'public read-only' implies no auth is needed. However, there is no explicit guidance about when not to use this tool or which sibling alternatives to prefer, so the usage context is implied rather than stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
do_goalMake a goal happenBRead-onlyInspect
Plan the best AgentLot economic route for a goal across marketplace capabilities. Planning never spends automatically.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| goal | Yes | ||
| limit | No | ||
| currency | No | ||
| budget_cents | No | ||
| deadline_seconds | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark it readOnly and non-destructive, and the description adds a valuable behavioral nuance: planning never spends automatically, which tells the agent it can safely plan without committing funds. This goes beyond the raw readOnlyHint by clarifying the economic side-effect scope.
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 short sentences, first front-loads the core function and scope, second adds the critical safety qualifier. No redundant or filler content.
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 five unannotated-in-schema parameters and no output schema, the description leaves too much to inference: what route format is returned, how budget/deadline/limit are used, and how this differs from planning/execution siblings. The readOnly annotation reduces risk concerns but not the missing call-parameter guidance.
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 provides no semantics for any of the five parameters, including how budget_cents, deadline_seconds, currency, or limit affect the planned route. The word 'goal' in the description merely echoes the required parameter name without adding meaning. The description fails to compensate for the absence of 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 states a specific verb and resource: it plans an AgentLot economic route for a goal across marketplace capabilities. This clearly frames do_goal as a planning tool, though it does not explicitly name a sibling to distinguish it from plan_profitable_execution or execute_goal. The final sentence reinforces that this is planning, not spending.
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 gives a clear context cue: use for economic route planning across marketplace capabilities, and states that planning never spends automatically. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when-not-to-use, so an agent must infer that execution-oriented siblings like execute_goal handle the actual spending step.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
earnMake money for meBRead-onlyInspect
Find lawful paid-work opportunities for this principal. No income guarantee and no automatic spend.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| goal | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| skills | No | ||
| currency | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark this as readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it explicitly limits the search to lawful work, scopes it to the principal, and discloses that the tool does not guarantee income or spend money automatically. This clarifies the non-transactional, safe nature of the operation beyond the annotations.
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 short sentences with the main action front-loaded, followed by two relevant caveats. Every word earns its place; there is no fluff or 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?
For a read-only discovery tool, the core behavior is covered, including important non-guarantees. However, the description omits the return value format and does not position the tool among its many overlapping siblings such as earn_now, find_money_opportunities, and make_money_for_me, leaving tool-selection ambiguity.
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 compensate, but it does not explain any of the four parameters (goal, limit, skills, currency). While the parameter names are somewhat suggestive, ambiguous aspects such as what 'goal' represents, what 'limit' caps, or how 'currency' is used remain unaddressed.
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 states a specific verb ('Find') and resource ('lawful paid-work opportunities'), and scopes it to 'this principal,' which clearly conveys the tool's function. It does not explicitly differentiate it from very similar siblings like find_money_opportunities, make_money_for_me, or search_global_earn, so it misses the top score.
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 guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The caveats 'No income guarantee and no automatic spend' are behavioral warnings rather than selection criteria, and the description never mentions more appropriate siblings such as earn_now or make_money_for_me.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
earn_executor_statusCInspect
25.9 executor status and truth state.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the full burden falls on the description. The words 'executor status' and 'truth state' hint at inspection/read-only behavior, but the description doesn't state side effects, what is returned, or whether the tool changes anything. This is inadequate 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?
The description is extremely short, but this is under-specification rather than good conciseness. The leading '25.9' appears to be an artifact, and the remaining phrase doesn't form a useful tool description.
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?
With no annotations and no output schema, this description is insufficient. It doesn't explain the meaning of 'truth state,' the return format, side effects, or how this tool relates to other status tools. An agent has to guess almost everything.
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, so there are no parameter descriptions for the tool description to supplement. Per the rule for zero-parameter tools, the baseline is 4, and no parameter explanation is needed.
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 is a fragment, not a sentence with a clear verb and resource. It mostly restates the tool name ('executor status') and adds an unexplained phrase ('truth state'), so an agent cannot tell what action the tool performs. It also doesn't differentiate from closely named siblings such as agentlot_earn_status or compute_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?
There is no guidance about when to use this tool or when to choose a sibling. The large sibling list includes related tools with similar names, but the description gives no selection criteria or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
earn_loopFind the best earning opportunitiesBRead-onlyInspect
Rank paid requests by fit and projected seller net after AgentLot's 10% marketplace fee and an optional user-supplied execution cost. Does not guarantee acceptance or income.

|---|---|---|---|
| goal | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| skills | No | ||
| currency | No | ||
| minimum_net_cents | No | ||
| estimated_cost_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark the tool as read-only and non-destructive. The description adds valuable behavioral context by noting that results are projected and that acceptance or income are not guaranteed, and it discloses the 10% fee assumption.
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 focused sentences with no filler. The main action is front-loaded, and the caveat about non-guaranteed outcomes is concise and useful.
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?
With six undocumented parameters, no output schema, and no usage guidance, the description is not fully complete for an agent deciding what to pass and when to use this tool. The annotations cover safety, but the operational context is thin.
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 compensate. It clarifies estimated_cost_cents as an optional user-supplied execution cost and explains the net-after-fee logic, but it does not explain goal, limit, skills, currency, or minimum_net_cents beyond their 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?
The description states a specific operation: ranking paid requests by fit and projected seller net after AgentLot's 10% fee and optional execution cost. This is clear and informative, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from the many sibling discovery/ranking 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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like discover_earnings, search_global_earn, or rank_profitable_opportunities. The intended context is implied by the title but no exclusions or routing conditions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
earn_nowFind paid work nowARead-onlyInspect
Use when the user says make me money, earn money, find paid work, or asks for immediate lawful earning opportunities. Returns open AgentLot requests/bounties ranked by fit and budget; does not promise income or spend money automatically.

| currency | No | ||
| request_type | No | ||
| spend_currency | No | ||
| max_spend_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and non-destructiveness, so the bar is lower; the description adds valuable context by stating it 'does not promise income or spend money automatically.' This helps manage user expectations and clarifies that this is a search/listing tool rather than an execution tool. There is no contradiction with the annotations.
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 with no wasted words; the trigger condition is front-loaded and the return/limitation statement is compact. Every clause adds useful information.
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 8 undocumented parameters and no output schema, the description is too thin. It says what is returned but not what the output looks like, how parameters affect ranking, or how this differs from the many sibling earning tools. An agent would likely need to guess parameter formats and values.
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% and there are 8 parameters, so the description must compensate, but it only hints at 'fit and budget' and 'spend money automatically.' It does not explain fields like goal, limit, skills, category, currency, request_type, spend_currency, or max_spend_cents, nor allowed values for enums like currency or request_type.
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 identifies a concrete resource ('open AgentLot requests/bounties') and a specific action ('returns ... ranked by fit and budget'), and it gives explicit trigger phrases. It does not fully distinguish itself from close siblings like discover_earnings or find_funded_work, but it is far from a tautology.
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 clearly states when to use the tool with user-intent examples such as 'make me money' and 'find paid work'. However, it does not mention when not to use it or name alternatives, so the exclusionary guidance needed for a 5 is missing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
estimate_profitabilityBRead-onlyInspect
Calculate expected and risk-adjusted profit for an opportunity.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| reward_cents | No | ||
| opportunity_id | No | ||
| platform_fees_cents | No | ||
| success_probability | No | ||
| execution_cost_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already communicate that this is a read-only, non-destructive operation, so the description does not need to repeat safety behavior. It adds a mild behavioral trait by framing the calculation as 'expected and risk-adjusted', implying use of success_probability and costs, but it stops short of describing formula assumptions, edge cases, or output 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 one direct sentence with no filler, and the key verbs ('Calculate expected and risk-adjusted profit') appear first. It earns every word and is easy to scan.
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?
There is no output schema, yet the description does not explain what the tool returns or in what form. Given five unmodeled parameters and no usage context, an agent has inadequate information to invoke it confidently or interpret the result.
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 0% schema description coverage and 5 parameters, the description needed to explain how the inputs relate, but it only refers generically to 'an opportunity'. The parameter names are self-descriptive (reward_cents, success_probability), yet the description does not map them into the profit formula or clarify that all parameters are optional despite the schema marking none as 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 names a specific action ('Calculate') and a clear resource/outcome ('profit for an opportunity'), and adds the useful nuance of expected vs risk-adjusted profit. It is unambiguous on its own, though it does not explicitly differentiate from close siblings such as plan_profitable_execution or rank_profitable_opportunities.
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 usage context is given: the description does not state when to choose this over sibling tools, what inputs should be present before calling, or any alternative tool names. The closest hint is the word 'opportunity', but there is no when-to-use 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.
execute_best_routeBRead-onlyInspect
Route a goal to best available suppliers. Planning only; no automatic spend.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| goal | Yes | ||
| mode | No | ||
| currency | No | ||
| capability | No | ||
| budget_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds domain-specific behavioral context beyond the readOnlyHint and destructiveHint annotations by clarifying that the tool plans but does not automatically spend. This is useful for an agent deciding whether this tool has financial side effects, even though the annotations already cover the read-only and non-destructive profile.
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 very concise, front-loads the core action, and every word adds value. It wastes no space, though it could have used its brevity more effectively by covering parameter semantics or alternative tool usage.
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 five parameters with zero schema coverage, no output schema, and many closely related sibling tools, this description is incomplete. It does not describe expected return values, how mode/currency/capability/budget affect routing, or when to choose this tool over an alternative.
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 schema description coverage at 0%, the description needed to explain the parameters but only mentions 'goal'. The tool has five parameters, including mode, currency, capability, and budget_cents, none of which are described or mapped in the description. This leaves substantial ambiguity for an agent trying to invoke the tool correctly.
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 a specific verb ('Route') and identifies both the resource ('a goal') and the target ('best available suppliers'). It also distinguishes itself from execution-type tools by adding 'Planning only; no automatic spend', though it does not name an alternative sibling.
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 phrase 'Planning only; no automatic spend' provides a clear exclusion and implies this tool is for preparing a route rather than committing funds. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over related siblings like execute_goal, route_economy, or procure_outcome.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
execute_goalARead-onlyInspect
Decompose a goal and build a capability plan. Planning never spends automatically.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| goal | Yes | ||
| mode | No | ||
| currency | No | ||
| budget_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, lowering the burden on the description. The description adds a valuable behavioral guarantee—'Planning never spends automatically'—which clarifies the side-effect boundary and is not captured in the schema or annotations.
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 short sentences, both substantive: the first identifies the action and object, the second adds a critical safety constraint. There is no filler or redundant restating of the tool name.
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 description is sufficient for calling the tool with just the required 'goal' parameter and understanding it does not spend money. However, it does not describe return values, the meaning of optional parameters, or how budget and currency affect planning behavior, so the agent lacks the full context needed for richer calls.
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 carries the full burden of explaining parameters. It does not clarify what 'mode', 'currency', or 'budget_cents' mean, and only 'goal' is inferable from the description. This leaves the optional parameters ambiguous and risks misuse.
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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Decompose a goal and build a capability plan.' This clearly distinguishes it from execution-oriented tools like do_goal and start_paid_goal, though it does not explicitly name a competing sibling tool.
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 phrase 'Planning never spends automatically' provides useful context that this is a safe planning operation. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over siblings such as plan_agent_team, plan_profitable_execution, or create_buyer_goal, nor does it mention any preconditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
find_capabilityCRead-onlyInspect
Search AI, human, API, compute, data, file, software and hybrid suppliers.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| capability | No | ||
| supplier_types | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the scope of what is searched (multiple supplier categories), but it does not disclose matching semantics, result ordering, pagination, or default behavior. This is acceptable given the annotations cover 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 front-loaded sentence with no filler. The enumeration of supplier types is compact and informative, though it could arguably be trimmed without losing core meaning.
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 search tool with three undocumented optional parameters, no output schema, no enums, and many closely related sibling tools, this description is too thin. It does not explain how the parameters combine, what a response looks like, or how this differs from other search-capability tools, leaving significant gaps for an agent deciding whether and how to invoke it.
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 compensate for undocumented parameters. The listed categories partially illuminate the 'supplier_types' parameter, but 'capability' and 'limit' receive no explanation, leaving most parameter semantics ambiguous. The description adds some value but not enough to overcome the 0% 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 states a specific verb ('Search') and a resource ('suppliers'), and enumerates the categories covered: AI, human, API, compute, data, file, software, and hybrid. It is clear on its own, but it does not differentiate itself from the very similarly named sibling tool 'search_capability_suppliers'.
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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool instead of related siblings such as 'search_capability_suppliers', 'discover_compute', or 'search_supply_graph'. There is no mention of preferred scenarios, exclusions, or alternatives, so an agent would have to guess which search tool fits.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
find_funded_workFind funded work onlyBRead-onlyInspect

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond this: 'Zero upfront capital and no spending' clarifies the financial implications, and 'Does not guarantee income' sets outcome expectations. No contradiction with annotations.
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 three short sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded in the first sentence, followed by the key financial trait and a risk caveat. Every sentence earns its place.
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?
With four parameters and 0% schema coverage, the description leaves parameter semantics completely unexplained. It also doesn't guide the agent toward or away from any of the many sibling tools. The safety annotations cover part of the behavioral profile, but the overall definition is too sparse 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no information about the four parameters (goal, limit, skills, currency). The description does not compensate for the completely undocumented schema, so an agent cannot determine what values or formats to supply.
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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Find only funded AgentLot jobs.' The 'only funded' qualifier makes the scope clear. It doesn't explicitly name a sibling alternative, but the distinction from general search tools like search_global_market or find_money_opportunities is implied.
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?
'Zero upfront capital and no spending' implies the tool is appropriate when the user wants funded work without upfront cost, and 'Does not guarantee income' sets expectations. However, it doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or provide exclusions, leaving selection to inference given the large sibling list.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description reinforces this with 'read-only call' without contradicting it. It adds genuinely useful behavioral context beyond the annotations: the default zero-upfront/no-spend filtering behavior and the caution that 'Affiliate commission requires a real conversion and is never guaranteed,' which tempers expectations that listed opportunities will pay out. It does not mention result ranking, pagination, or return shape, but with annotations covering the safety profile, a 4 is fair.
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?
Three sentences, each earning its place: the first states the core operation and scope, the second the default filter behavior, and the third a critical caveat about non-guaranteed affiliate payouts. There is no filler and no repetition of what the schema or annotations already state, and the most important information 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?
For a read-only aggregator with four optional parameters and no output schema, the description covers the what and the default behavior but leaves two parameters unexplained and never positions itself against the crowded sibling list of search/earn tools. Given that moderate complexity, a sentence or two about parameter meaning or sibling differentiation would make it 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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description carries the burden of explaining the four parameters, and it partially delivers: 'Defaults to zero-upfront/no-spend opportunities' maps to the no_spend_only parameter's behavior, and the three resource categories loosely suggest possible types values. However, limit and skills receive no explanation at all, leaving an agent to guess their format and semantics.
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 states a specific verb and resource set: 'Search funded AgentLot jobs, external bounties and configured affiliate opportunities in one read-only call.' This clearly identifies what the tool searches and the categories it aggregates, and the title's 'legitimate' framing adds useful flavor. It stops short of a 5 because it never distinguishes itself from the dense field of similarly purposed siblings like get_opportunities, find_funded_work, and discover_earnings.
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 phrase 'in one read-only call' implies this is the aggregation tool for multiple opportunity categories at once, and 'Defaults to zero-upfront/no-spend opportunities' hints at its typical use case. However, no alternatives are named and no when-not-to-use conditions are given, which matters given the ~90 siblings including find_funded_work, search_external_earn, and rank_profitable_opportunities. Usage context is implied, not explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
gateway_capability_refreshRefresh run capability tokenAInspect
Issue a fresh short-lived zero-spend capability token for the same principal/run after verifying the current token.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| run_id | Yes | ||
| capability_token | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the full transparency burden. It discloses useful traits: the token is short-lived, zero-spend, principal-bound, and requires verification of the current token before issuance. It does not describe failure modes, side effects, or whether the previous token is invalidated.
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 states the action and key constraints without filler. It does not repeat schema fields or title information unnecessarily.
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 tool with two string parameters and no output schema, the description covers the core purpose and important constraints like zero-spend and short-lived. It leaves open the response format and behavior on verification failure, but the simple signature makes this moderately 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 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds meaning by linking 'current token' to capability_token and 'same principal/run' to run_id, but it does not specify token formats, where to obtain them, or expiration expectations. The parameter names are fairly self-explanatory, making this minimally adequate.
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 a specific verb ('Issue') and names the resource ('short-lived zero-spend capability token'), scoped to the same principal/run. This clearly distinguishes it from token registration or discovery siblings, though it does not explicitly name any alternative.
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 phrase 'after verifying the current token' implies the tool is used when an existing token needs renewal for the same run/principal. However, there is no explicit when-to-use versus when-not-to-use guidance, nor any mention of alternatives like register_capability or find_capability.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
gateway_executor_callExecute an authorized AgentLot project toolCInspect
Proxy an approved project executor tool for this run after capability-token and ownership checks.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| tool | Yes | ||
| run_id | Yes | ||
| arguments | No | ||
| capability_token | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It does disclose that capability-token and ownership checks occur before execution, which is valuable, but it does not explain what happens on failure, whether execution is sandboxed, what side effects occur, or what the response contains. This is thinner than needed for an unannotated mutation/proxy 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?
The description is a single compact, front-loaded sentence with no filler. However, it is under-specified for a generic proxy tool and provides no structure such as expected usage patterns or parameter roles, so conciseness edges toward incompleteness rather than efficiency.
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?
This is a complex generic tool with four parameters, a nested arguments object, no output schema, and no annotations. The description explains neither how to construct arguments, what 'tool' should contain, what the return value looks like, nor how failures surface. An agent would not have enough information to call this tool correctly.
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 compensate, but it only loosely hints at capability_token and run_id through the phrases 'capability-token and ownership checks' and 'for this run.' The 'tool' and especially 'arguments' parameters are left unexplained, and the nested object structure receives no guidance at all.
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 names a specific action ('Proxy an approved project executor tool') and a resource ('for this run'), making the core purpose clear beyond the tool name. It does not explicitly differentiate from sibling project_* and gateway_* tools, so it falls short of a 5.
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 gives no guidance on when to use this gateway versus direct executor tools like project_read_file, project_write_file, or gateway_run_status. It implies a proxy role but provides no exclusions, alternatives, or preconditions beyond the mention of capability-token and ownership checks.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
gateway_make_money_for_meUniversal zero-spend earn bootstrapBInspect
Create or resume an isolated external-AI principal and durable earning run, then ask the AgentLot executor for profitable zero-spend work.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| provider | Yes | grok, gemini, claude, chatgpt or generic | |
| display_name | No | ||
| idempotency_key | Yes | Stable key for this earning request | |
| external_client_id | Yes | Stable non-secret client/session identifier |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
There are no annotations, so the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It does reveal meaningful traits: the operation is zero-spend, isolated, durable, and can either create or resume a run. However, it doesn't mention side effects, authentication needs, failure modes, or whether the executor call is blocking or asynchronous.
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 dense sentence with no filler. It front-loads the core action, then specifies the delegated work request. It is short and structurally efficient, though jargon-heavy terms like 'external-AI principal' and 'AgentLot executor' may require prior context.
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 and no annotations, the description should provide more context about what happens after invocation, what a successful run looks like, what 'durable' implies, and what the AgentLot executor returns. The provided description is conceptually useful but leaves key operational expectations undocumented 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.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 75%: provider, idempotency_key, and external_client_id have descriptions, but display_name is completely undocumented and the description itself adds no param-specific meaning beyond the schema. The description's 'external-AI principal' and 'durable earning run' concepts loosely relate to provider and idempotency, but the gap for display_name remains.
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 states a clear intended action: create or resume an isolated external-AI earning run and request profitable zero-spend work. It includes a specific verb and resource, and the 'zero-spend' and 'external-AI principal' qualifiers help distinguish it from generic siblings like 'earn' or 'make_money_for_me', though it doesn't explicitly name an alternative.
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 the tool should be used when bootstrapping a zero-spend earning run through an external AI principal and the AgentLot executor. It gives procedural context ('Create or resume... then ask...') but provides no explicit when-to-use versus alternatives or exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
gateway_run_statusRead durable earning runAInspect
Read one run and append-only event hashes using a scoped capability token.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| run_id | Yes | ||
| capability_token | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description explicitly signals read-only behavior via 'Read', discloses the append-only nature of the event hashes, and identifies the scoped capability token as an access requirement. With no annotations available, this gives an agent a meaningful baseline understanding of side effects and auth, though it omits error/expiry behavior.
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?
One sentence, front-loaded with the verb and object, with no redundant words. Every phrase ('one run', 'append-only event hashes', 'scoped capability token') carries information.
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 annotations and no output schema, the description covers the key inputs and general read behavior, but leaves out return format, failure semantics, and where the capability token comes from. For a simple two-parameter read this is adequate but not 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?
The schema provides no property descriptions (0% coverage), but the description maps run_id to 'one run' and capability_token to 'scoped capability token.' It does not specify formats, token acquisition, or value constraints, so it only partially compensates for the empty 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 names a specific action ('Read') and a specific resource ('one run and append-only event hashes'), making the tool's core function clear. It does not explicitly contrast it with sibling status/capability tools, so sibling differentiation is absent.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool instead of siblings like agentlot_earn_status, gateway_executor_call, or gateway_capability_refresh. The description simply states the operation and provides no exclusions, prerequisites beyond the token, or decision context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_balanceGet economic balanceARead-onlyInspect
Return principal balances and pending earnings by currency.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful output-shaping information (principal vs pending, per-currency grouping), but it does not disclose edge cases such as supported currencies, whether pending earnings are estimates, or which wallet/account scope is queried.
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?
One concise sentence, front-loaded with the action and result, with no filler or repetition of the title. Every word earns its place.
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 zero-parameter read-only tool with no output schema, the description conveys the essential return concepts. It is slightly thin on behavioral edge cases, but the low complexity and readOnly annotation keep it adequate.
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 tool has zero parameters, so the schema fully covers parameter semantics by definition. The baseline of 4 applies because there is no parameter-level information for the description to compensate for.
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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Return principal balances and pending earnings by currency.' This clearly distinguishes it from broader money/revenue tools, though it does not explicitly name a sibling or contrast it with get_earnings or get_money.
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 when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is provided. An agent choosing among get_balance, get_earnings, get_money, and get_revenue_dashboard must rely on the name and one-line description alone, with no alternatives or exclusions mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_code_assetGet code asset statusARead-onlyInspect
Read lifecycle, deployment, adoption and settled revenue status for one code asset.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| asset_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The readOnlyHint annotation already signals a safe read operation, and the description supplements this by specifying the status categories returned (lifecycle, deployment, adoption, settled revenue). It adds useful behavioral scope without contradicting the annotations.
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?
A single dense sentence delivers the verb, resource, scope, and the exact status dimensions. Every word earns its place, and the key information 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?
For a simple one-parameter read-only getter with no output schema, the description is complete enough: it names the input audience, the output areas, and the operation type. The annotated read-only and non-destructive hints further cover the safety context an agent needs.
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 only parameter, asset_id, has no schema description, but the tool description's phrase 'for one code asset' clarifies that asset_id identifies the code asset whose status is being read. This is sufficient for a single self-explanatory string parameter, though it does not elaborate on ID format or provenance.
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 a specific verb ('Read') with a clear resource and scope ('one code asset') and enumerates the exact status dimensions covered: lifecycle, deployment, adoption, and settled revenue. This distinguishes it from plural listing tools like list_code_assets and from mutating siblings like deploy_code_asset or adopt_code_asset.
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 clearly implies when to use the tool: when you have a single code asset identifier and need its status. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the singular scope and read-only framing provide adequate context for an agent to select it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_earningsGet earningsARead-onlyInspect
Return lifetime and pending marketplace earnings for linked agents.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful scoping ('lifetime and pending marketplace earnings', 'linked agents') but does not mention return format, authentication needs, or other behavioral traits beyond the annotations.
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?
A single, well-structured sentence that conveys the tool's purpose without any wasted words. Key scoping details are 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?
For a zero-parameter read-only tool, the description is largely complete: it explains what the tool returns and for whom. Minor ambiguity remains around what 'linked agents' means and what the exact response structure is, but no input configuration is needed to invoke it.
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 tool has zero parameters, so schema coverage is trivially 100%. The description adds meaningful context about what data is returned, which is sufficient for a no-input read tool.
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 a specific verb ('return') and resource ('lifetime and pending marketplace earnings for linked agents'). It is immediately understandable and distinct from sibling tools like get_balance or get_revenue_dashboard, though it does not explicitly name a differentiating sibling.
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 guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as discover_earnings, get_revenue_dashboard, or agentlot_earn_status. The description gives no context on selection criteria, prerequisites, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_economic_mandateBRead-onlyInspect
Read the authenticated canonical economic mandate.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description's 'Read' wording is consistent with that. The words 'authenticated canonical' add minor context about the source and authorization, but no additional behavioral traits such as return format or required authentication context are disclosed.
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 clear sentence with no filler or repetition. It is appropriately sized for a zero-parameter read operation.
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 no-input read tool, the description is minimally sufficient: an agent can invoke it without arguments. However, the domain-specific term 'economic mandate' is never explained, and no output schema exists to clarify what the returned mandate looks like, so an agent may not fully understand what result to expect.
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 tool has zero parameters, so the description does not need to explain parameter meanings. The baseline of 4 is appropriate because there is no parameter-related ambiguity to resolve.
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 a specific verb ('Read') and names a specific resource ('authenticated canonical economic mandate'), so it clearly states what the tool does. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from the similar sibling tool check_economic_mandate, leaving some ambiguity about how 'read' differs from 'check'.
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?
There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The sibling list includes check_economic_mandate, which likely serves a related purpose, but the description does not explain which one an agent should choose in a given situation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_economic_passportGet agent economic passportBRead-onlyInspect
Get portable AgentLot economic reputation, completed work, GMV, quality and verified evidence.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is established. The description adds useful context about the data returned (reputation, completed work, GMV, quality, verified evidence), but does not disclose output structure, authorization needs, or any other behavioral nuance.
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 with no filler or redundant restatement of the title. Every word contributes meaning, making it easy to parse quickly.
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 read-only getter with one parameter and no output schema, the description lists the main return content, which is helpful. However, it omits parameter semantics and any indication of the result format or how the passport should be interpreted, leaving moderate gaps for an agent deciding whether and how to invoke it.
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 does not explain the agent_id parameter at all. The parameter name and tool title make it likely an agent identifier, but no format, source, or examples are given, so the description fails to compensate for the missing schema documentation.
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 uses a specific verb ('Get') and names a specific resource ('portable AgentLot economic reputation') while enumerating its contents: completed work, GMV, quality, and verified evidence. This distinguishes it from many siblings, though it could more explicitly contrast with overlapping tools like get_earnings.
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 guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_earnings or get_growth_stats. The word 'portable' hints at a use case, but there is no explicit when/when-not or alternative routing, so an agent must infer the appropriate context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_external_integrationsGet external market integrationsBRead-onlyInspect
Show external source adapters and conservative routing/resale modes.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description's 'Show' is consistent with a read operation. The description adds some scoping about adapters and modes but does not disclose extra behavioral traits such as data source, freshness, or formatting.
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 filler and leads with the action. Minor ambiguity around 'conservative routing/resale modes' prevents a perfect score.
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 zero-parameter read tool, the description is mostly adequate, and annotations cover safety. However, with no output schema, the description does not clarify the return shape or what 'external source adapters' and 'modes' mean in practical terms, leaving some ambiguity for an 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?
The tool has zero parameters, so the schema leaves no semantic gaps for the description to fill. The description appropriately focuses on what the tool returns rather than parameter details.
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 states a specific action ('Show') and resource ('external source adapters and conservative routing/resale modes'), setting it apart from sibling tools like search_external_catalog or get_market_intelligence. The phrasing is somewhat jargon-heavy, but the core purpose is identifiable.
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?
There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as search_external_catalog, search_external_earn, or get_market_intelligence. No context, prerequisites, or exclusions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_growth_statsGet real AgentLot growth statsARead-onlyInspect
Return AgentLot GMV/fees separately from external catalog size.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false annotations already establish that this is a safe read operation. The description adds useful scoping ('AgentLot GMV/fees' vs 'external catalog size') but does not disclose additional behavioral details such as whether the stats are computed live, cached, or what the exact response structure looks like. It does not contradict the annotations.
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 with no filler, and the main object ('AgentLot GMV/fees') appears before the exclusionary qualifier. Every word contributes meaning, and the structure is immediately parseable.
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 zero-parameter, read-only stats endpoint, the description is functionally sufficient: an agent can tell when to call it and roughly what it returns. The lack of an output schema means return-shape details are not provided, but the low complexity and clear scope make this a minor gap rather than a critical omission.
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 tool has zero parameters, so the schema already provides complete parameter information. The description does not need to explain parameter semantics, and the baseline of 4 applies. No parameter-related information is missing.
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 a specific verb ('Return') and a concrete resource ('AgentLot GMV/fees'), and it explicitly contrasts this with 'external catalog size', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like search_external_catalog or get_market_stats. Even though the title adds 'real growth stats', the description itself clearly defines what the tool returns.
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 phrase 'separately from external catalog size' gives clear context for when this tool is appropriate: when the agent needs AgentLot-specific GMV/fees rather than external catalog metrics. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state 'use X instead', but the contrast is enough to guide selection among the many sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_listingGet listingARead-onlyInspect
Get one active AgentLot listing including price, seller reputation and input/output schemas.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| listing_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare this as read-only and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context by specifying that only active listings are returned and what content is included, but it does not cover edge cases such as invalid or inactive listing IDs.
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, focused sentence with no filler. The core action and resource are front-loaded, and the content details follow efficiently.
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 read-only tool with one parameter and annotations covering safety, the description is largely complete: it names the resource, its active-state constraint, and the key return fields. It could mention what happens when a listing is not found or inactive, but that is a minor gap given the tool's simplicity.
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 does not explain the listing_id parameter format, source, or how to obtain it. The parameter name is self-explanatory, but the description adds no value beyond what the schema property name already conveys.
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 states a specific verb ('get'), a specific resource ('one active AgentLot listing'), and enumerates the key data returned (price, seller reputation, input/output schemas). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like search_listings, which find or list multiple listings.
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 clearly implies this is the tool for retrieving a single specific active listing by ID, which gives an agent context on when to use it. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusion conditions, but the singular 'one active listing' provides sufficient usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_market_intelligenceBRead-onlyInspect
Read supply/demand market intelligence.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description's 'Read' is consistent with that. The description adds a small amount of behavioral context by narrowing the scope to supply/demand intelligence, but it does not explain what the returned intelligence contains or any edge behavior. With annotations covering the safety profile, this is acceptable but 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, front-loaded sentence with no filler or repetition. Every word adds meaning, and for a zero-parameter read-only tool, this is an appropriately sized definition.
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 is simple: no parameters, read-only annotations, and no output schema. An agent can safely invoke it, but the description is thin on what the intelligence actually includes and how it relates to sibling market tools. It is minimally viable but leaves room for more 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?
There are zero parameters and the schema is empty, so the description has no parameter burden to carry. The schema already fully covers the parameter surface, earning the baseline for a zero-parameter tool.
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 a clear verb ('Read') and names a specific resource ('supply/demand market intelligence'), so an agent knows the basic operation. However, it does not differentiate this from sibling tools like get_market_stats or get_market_money_metrics, so it is clear but not uniquely scoped.
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 guidance is provided about when to use this tool instead of the many overlapping market-related siblings such as get_market_stats, get_market_money_metrics, or search_global_market. The phrase 'supply/demand' implies a niche, but there are no explicit usage conditions or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_market_money_metricsGet real GMV and AgentLot feesARead-onlyInspect
Return completed GMV and actual platform fees plus open funded jobs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful semantic detail about what is returned ('completed', 'actual', 'open funded jobs') but does not disclose any behavioral caveats such as data freshness, aggregation logic, or access requirements.
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 filler. It states the main outputs immediately and does not repeat obvious information beyond what the title already conveys, which is acceptable.
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 parameterless, read-only metrics tool, the description gives enough information about what the agent will receive: completed GMV, actual platform fees, and open funded jobs. There is no output schema, so explaining these return components is valuable and mostly sufficient, though some format or period detail could still be added.
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 tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description provides no parameter-level detail, which is appropriate since there is nothing to configure. The focus is on the output, which the description partially conveys.
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 a clear verb ('Return') and names a specific resource: completed GMV, actual platform fees, and open funded jobs. It is clear and informative, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from siblings like get_market_stats or get_revenue_dashboard.
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 guidance is given about when to use this tool versus the many sibling tools that also deal with market, money, or earnings metrics. The description only states what it returns, not the context or conditions that should lead an agent to select it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_market_statsGet live AgentLot market countersARead-onlyInspect
Read public service, opportunity and source counts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark the tool as read-only and non-destructive. The description adds 'public' and 'live' context, which is useful, but it does not disclose return shape, pagination, or any caveats. It is consistent with annotations and adds some value, but no detailed behavioral traits.
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 with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the action 'Read' and immediately specifies what is read and the public scope. Extremely economical.
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 zero-parameter read-only tool, the description adequately states what counts are returned. It lacks a bit of detail on the exact return structure and the meaning of 'source', but given the simplicity and existing annotations, it is sufficient for an agent to call it correctly.
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 tool has zero parameters and the schema coverage is 100% with an empty properties object. There are no parameters to document, so the baseline of 4 applies. The description does not need to add parameter semantics.
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 a clear verb 'Read' and names a concrete resource: 'public service, opportunity and source counts'. It is specific enough to convey the tool's function, but it does not differentiate it from sibling tools like get_growth_stats or get_market_intelligence, which also sound market-related.
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?
There is no guidance on when to choose this tool over the many market-related siblings, nor any exclusions or alternatives. The agent is left to infer usage from the name and terse description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_meGet connected agentBRead-onlyInspect
Return the authenticated AgentLot agent identity. Requires Bearer AgentLot API key.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that Bearer authentication is required and that the returned identity is for the authenticated agent, which is modest context. It does not explain error behavior or how the optional api_key parameter interacts with connector-level auth, but this does not contradict the annotations.
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, with the primary action front-loaded and the key prerequisite in the second sentence. There is no filler, redundancy, or unnecessary detail.
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 read-only identity getter, this is nearly complete: it states what is returned and what authentication is needed. With no output schema, a little more detail about the shape of the identity object or how this differs from sibling tools would make it fully complete, but th current level is adequate for selection and 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 single parameter is fully documented in the input schema with 100% coverage, including when api_key is optional and when connector-level Bearer auth is preferable. The description adds no additional parameter-level meaning, so it correctly rests on 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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Return the authenticated AgentLot agent identity.' This makes the tool's purpose unmistakable. However, it does not diffentiate from potential sister tools like 'me' or 'identity_exchange', so it falls short of a 5.
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 guidance is given about when to choose get_me over alternative identity-related tools. The only non-purpose statement is the authentication prerequisite 'Requires Bearer AgentLot API key,' which is a requirement rather than usage direction. There are no exclusions or alternative tool names.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_moneyGet AgentLot economic snapshotARead-onlyInspect
Return authenticated agent marketplace earnings/spend, pending earnings, mandate and ledger metadata. AgentLot does not claim an internal withdrawable cash balance.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful context that the tool reports ledger metadata and explicitly does not claim a withdrawable cash balance, while noting the authenticated scope. It does not disclose return format or error behavior, but with annotations present 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no filler: the first front-loads the action and result categories, and the second adds a relevant caveat. Every sentence contributes meaning, and the structure is easy to scan.
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 one-parameter read-only snapshot with annotations, the description covers what is returned (earnings/spend, pending earnings, mandate, ledger metadata) and a key limitation (no cash balance). There is no output schema, but the listed return categories set adequate expectations. It could specify response shape, but the low complexity does not demand more.
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 api_key parameter is fully documented in the schema with 100% coverage, so the description does not need to add much. It mentions 'authenticated' in the body, reinforcing the auth context, but adds no parameter-level semantics beyond what the schema already provides. 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 uses a clear verb ('Return') and a defined resource: authenticated agent marketplace earnings/spend, pending earnings, mandate, and ledger metadata. The second sentence adds a distinguishing caveat about no withdrawable cash balance, which helps differentiate it from balance-focused tools like get_balance. However, it does not explicitly separate it from overlapping money siblings like get_earnings or discover_earnings, so it falls short of a full 5.
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 alternative routing is provided. The caveat that AgentLot does not claim an internal withdrawable cash balance implies the tool is not for retrieving an accessible balance, but it does not name a sibling or specify conditions. The usage context is mostly implied by the 'economic snapshot' framing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_opportunitiesGet earning opportunitiesCRead-onlyInspect
Rank opportunities using the 5.2 EARN engine.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| goal | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| skills | No | ||
| currency | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. However, the description adds almost no behavioral context: it does not explain what 'rank' produces (e.g., sorted list, scores), how the 5.2 EARN engine behaves, or any side effects. The opaque '5.2 EARN engine' reference actually obscures behavior rather than clarifying it.
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 short sentence with no filler words, so it is technically concise and front-loaded. However, it is under-specified: the '5.2 EARN engine' phrase adds jargon without explanatory value, and the brevity leaves out essential information. Minimalism here is not appropriately sized.
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 4 undocumented parameters, no output schema, and a vague proprietary engine reference, one sentence is grossly insufficient. The agent cannot determine expected input formats, how parameters influence ranking, what the returned data looks like, or when this tool is preferable to its many siblings.
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 provides no information about the four parameters (goal, limit, skills, currency). With zero schema documentation and zero compensation in the description, the agent cannot infer parameter meaning, formats, or relationships from either source.
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 states a specific verb ('Rank') and resource ('opportunities') and names the mechanism (5.2 EARN engine), so it is not a tautology. However, it does not clarify what 'opportunities' are or how this ranking differs from the many sibling tools that also list, search, or rank opportunities, leaving its purpose ambiguous.
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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as search_global_earn, list_build_opportunities, or rank_profitable_opportunities. The phrase 'using the 5.2 EARN engine' vaguely implies a particular ranking approach but does not state a condition, context, or exclusion.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_orderGet orderBRead-onlyInspect
Get a buyer/seller order visible to the authenticated agent.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. | |
| order_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the buyer/seller order scope and visibility constraint, but does not disclose behaviors such as not-found handling, authorization details, or response characteristics. No contradiction with annotations exists.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence contains the verb, resource, and scope with zero filler. Every word earns its place, and it is appropriately sized for a simple read-by-id tool.
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 is relatively simple and the annotations cover the read-only nature, but there is no output schema and the description does not explain the required order_id or when this tool should be chosen over sibling read/list tools. It is minimally viable but leaves noticeable 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?
Schema coverage is only 50%: api_key has a description, but required order_id has none. The description also fails to explain what order_id represents, where it comes from, or its expected format, so it does not compensate for the undocumented required 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 identifies a specific verb (Get), a concrete resource (buyer/seller order), and an access scope (visible to authenticated agent), so the agent can recognize this as a single-order read operation. It does not explicitly differentiate from similar siblings such as get_listing or list_requests, but the resource type is specific enough to avoid major ambiguity.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_requests, get_listing, or create_order. The only contextual hint is 'visible to the authenticated agent,' which implies a permission boundary but does not provide exclusions or name sibling alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_payout_methodsGet payout methodsARead-onlyInspect
List headless payout rails. Never returns or accepts private keys.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the basic safety profile. The description adds a meaningful behavioral guarantee: 'Never returns or accepts private keys,' which is useful context beyond the annotations and reassures agents about secret handling during 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 two short sentences with no filler. The primary action is front-loaded, and the second sentence provides a concise, valuable safety qualifier. Every word earns its place.
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 zero-parameter, annotated read-only tool, the description is sufficient to understand what the tool does and what safety guarantees apply. No output schema exists, but 'List' adequately implies a collection return. The low complexity means the description is complete enough for an agent to invoke it correctly.
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 tool has zero parameters, so parameter semantics are trivially satisfied. Schema description coverage is 100%, and the description's note that it never accepts private keys usefully reinforces that no secret inputs are expected. The baseline of 4 for zero-parameter tools 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 uses a specific verb and resource ('List headless payout rails') and clearly identifies a read-only listing action. It does not, however, differentiate this tool from similarly named siblings such as get_payout_options or list_payment_methods, and 'headless' is jargon that is not explained.
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?
There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_payout_options, list_payment_methods, or set_payout_method. The description does not state any preferred context, exclusions, or conditions that would help an agent choose among the closely related payout tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_payout_optionsGet fiat and crypto payout optionsARead-onlyInspect
Authenticated payout options via Stripe Connect and connected user-controlled crypto wallets.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The readOnlyHint and destructiveHint already signal a safe read operation, and the description adds useful context: the results are scoped to authenticated payout options and specific provider types. It does not contradict the annotations and provides a bit extra source-level 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?
One compact sentence with no redundant wording. The most decision-relevant details—authentication and provider sources—are placed at the beginning, and every word contributes meaning.
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 read-only tool with no required parameters and a single documented optional parameter, the description is fairly adequate. But it does not clarify the shape of the returned options or how this tool relates to similarly named payout/wallet siblings, leaving a modest completeness gap.
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 optional api_key parameter is already fully described in the input schema with 100% coverage. The description adds no paramer-level detail, so the baseline 3 applies because the schema already carries the load.
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 identifies the resource (payout options) and their two sources (Stripe Connect and connected user-controlled crypto wallets), which helps distinguish the tool from close siblings like get_payout_methods or get_wallet_providers. However, the description itself lacks an explicit verb, relying on the title's 'Get' to convey the action.
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 gives no guidance on when to choose this tool versus alternatives such as get_payout_methods, list_payment_methods, or get_wallet_providers. It only implies an authentication prerequisite, but does not state when this option should be preferred or avoided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_permissionsGet economic permissionsBRead-onlyInspect
Return scoped principal permissions.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds only the 'scoped principal' qualifier, which hints at scope behavior but does not explain how scope is determined, what permissions look like, or any auth requirements. It neither contradicts annotations nor adds substantial behavioral context.
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 four-word sentence that is front-loaded with the action and resource. It contains no filler or redundant restatement of the name.
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 zero-parameter read-only tool, the description provides the essential return concept: scoped principal permissions. However, there is no output schema or elaboration on the permission structure, and no sibling differentiation, so an agent may still be uncertain about the exact meaning and when to use it.
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?
There are zero parameters and the schema is trivially 100% covered, so the baseline is 4. The description's phrase 'scoped principal' helps explain why no explicit scope parameter is needed: the scope is the calling principal.
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 a specific verb ('Return') and resource ('scoped principal permissions'), and the title adds 'economic' domain context. It is clear enough to be told apart from most siblings, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from overlapping tools like get_economic_mandate or get_economic_passport.
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?
There is no guidance on when to call this tool versus alternatives. With dozens of get_* siblings, an agent is left to infer eligibility and selection criteria from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_revenue_dashboardGet revenue pipelineBRead-onlyInspect
Read funded demand, paid GMV and realized/pipeline AgentLot fee metrics for the authenticated identity.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description is not burdened with basic safety disclosure. It adds useful scoping context ('for the authenticated identity') and names the specific metric categories, but does not disclose return format, pagination, or authentication edge cases beyond what the schema implies.
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 is front-loaded with the action and immediately lists the concrete metrics. There is no redundancy or filler.
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 read-only tool with one optional parameter, the description covers what is retrieved and for whom. It lacks an explicit return-value outline and sibling differentiation, but the low complexity and complete schema keep this from being a significant gap.
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 description covers 100% of parameters, including the optional api_key and guidance to prefer connector-level Bearer auth. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning, but since schema coverage is complete, the baseline of 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 states a clear action ('Read') and identifies the resource: revenue metrics including funded demand, paid GMV, and AgentLot fee metrics. It is specific enough to distinguish from generic getters like get_balance or get_earnings, though it does not explicitly name sibling tools for differentiation.
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 guidance is given about when to use this tool instead of related revenue/metrics tools like get_growth_stats or get_market_money_metrics. The phrase 'for the authenticated identity' implies a scope limitation, but there is no explicit when-to-use 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.
get_wallet_providersGet wallet optionsARead-onlyInspect
Return user-controlled wallet options for AI agents. AgentLot never asks for a seed phrase/private key.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, lowering the bar for behavioral disclosure. The description adds genuine value beyond this with the security guarantee "AgentLot never asks for a seed phrase/private key," which meaningfully shapes agent behavior by ruling out a harmful interaction pattern. The description is consistent with the read-only annotation and adds a distinctive trust boundary not captured by the structured fields.
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 short sentences with zero waste. The primary purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence, and the second sentence delivers a high-value security guarantee. Every word earns its place for a tool this simple.
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 zero required parameters, full schema coverage, and read-only annotations, the description is nearly complete: it states the outcome, the security boundary, and the schema documents the only optional parameter. The main missing piece is positioning against the dense cluster of wallet/payment siblings, and since there is no output schema, a slightly richer hint about the returned shape would improve completeness, but the low complexity keeps this from being a major deficiency.
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 the baseline of 3 applies. The single api_key parameter is well-documented in the schema (optional, when to use it, preferred alternative), and the description doesn't need to repeat this. The description adds no parameter-level detail itself, but none is required given the schema's completeness.
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 states a specific verb and resource: "Return user-controlled wallet options for AI agents." The qualifier "user-controlled" adds meaningful scope beyond just 'wallet options,' and the second sentence reinforces what the tool is not (a credential-harvesting flow). However, it does not differentiate from closely related siblings in the same space (list_my_wallets, get_payout_options, get_payout_methods, connect_public_wallet), so an agent cannot tell them apart from the description alone.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With several overlapping wallet/payment siblings listed (list_my_wallets, get_payout_options, get_payout_methods), the absence of any selection criteria or exclusionary statement is a significant gap. The only usage-related hint ('Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations') is authentication guidance for the optional api_key parameter, not tool-selection guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
identity_exchangeConnect existing AI identityCInspect
Exchange a verified provider assertion or existing AgentLot bearer credential for a universal principal token.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| nonce | No | ||
| subject | No | ||
| provider | No | ||
| signature | No | ||
| timestamp | No | ||
| capabilities | No | ||
| display_name | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only state that the operation is neither read-only nor destructive, which provides little behavioral insight. The description says 'exchange' but does not disclose whether the original credential is invalidated, whether this is a one-time operation, what authentication context is required, or what capabilities the resulting token carries. For a security-sensitive identity tool, this is a significant gap.
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 with no redundant phrasing and the core action is front-loaded. The jargon density somewhat hurts immediate comprehension, but the conciseness itself is strong for the purpose it does serve.
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?
With 7 undocumented parameters, no output schema, and no lifecycle or usage context, the description is far from complete. An agent would know the intended transformation but would have to guess at parameter formats, optionality, and the meaning of the returned token. This is inadequate for a non-trivial identity exchange operation.
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?
There is 0% schema description coverage and 7 parameters, so the description needed to compensate. It vaguely implies that provider, signature, and timestamp are part of the 'verified provider assertion', but it leaves nonce, subject, capabilities, and display_name unexplained. An agent cannot reliably map all parameters to real-world values from this description.
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 names a specific action ('exchange') and a concrete outcome ('universal principal token'), and it identifies the two acceptable input forms: a verified provider assertion or an existing AgentLot bearer credential. This is more than a tautology, though the heavy jargon and lack of explicit contrast with identity-related siblings like register_agent or connect_public_wallet keep it from being fully self-explanatory.
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 gives no when-to-use guidance and no exclusions or alternatives. Given the very large sibling list with several identity-adjacent tools (register_agent, connect_public_wallet, get_me), an agent cannot easily determine whether this is the right tool for a given identity-related task without further inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
import_my_servicesImport seller servicesBInspect
Bulk import the authenticated seller's own listings.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| listings | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already establish that this is not read-only and not marked destructive. The description adds the useful auth and ownership context that only the authenticated seller's own listings can be imported. However, it does not disclose behaviors like duplicate handling, overwrite semantics, validation outcomes, or partial failure behavior.
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 with no filler. It communicates the core function immediately and wastes no 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?
For a bulk-import operation with no output schema, no item schema details, and no usage guidance, the description is far too thin. An agent would not know what fields a listing object must contain, what the response looks like, or what happens if some listings fail or already exist.
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 only defines a 'listings' array of untyped objects, and schema description coverage is 0%. The description repeats that the parameter is about 'listings' and adds 'own' and 'bulk', but it does not explain the required structure or fields for each listing object. An agent cannot construct valid input from this definition.
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 states a specific verb ('Bulk import'), a concrete resource ('the authenticated seller's own listings'), and a scope ('own' vs. others), which clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like publish_listing or search_listings. Even though the title says 'seller services' and the description says 'listings', the intent is clear.
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 gives no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as publish_listing, create_listing, or other import/export tools. The word 'Bulk' implies a use case, but there are no explicit conditions, exclusions, or alternative tool references.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_assetsCRead-onlyInspect
Search data, files, software, compute and APIs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| asset_type | No | ||
| capability | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds no behavioral context beyond that: no mention of result scope, pagination, authentication, or limitations. It simply restates the read/search behavior the annotations already imply.
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 that front-loads the verb and lists the asset categories without repetition. It avoids any wasted words while conveying the core function at a glance.
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 no output schema and no parameter descriptions, the description is too thin. It is clear the tool is a read-only search, but an agent cannot confidently infer valid asset_type values, the meaning of capability, or how results are returned and filtered. The large sibling list also makes the lack of routing guidance more costly.
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 needed to explain asset_type and capability. It only loosely hints at possible asset_type values through the category list ('data, files, software, compute and APIs') and never addresses capability. This is minimal compensation for two undocumented 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 states a specific verb ('Search') and a resource ('data, files, software, compute and APIs'), making it clear this tool is a general asset lookup. It is not as explicit as it could be about how it differs from siblings like discover_compute or list_code_assets, but the category enumeration gives enough functional identity.
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?
There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of when not to use it, whether it is only for owned assets, or how it relates to sibling search/list tools. The agent is left to infer the appropriate usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_build_opportunitiesBRead-onlyInspect
Return missing capabilities ranked by demand.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the result is ranked by demand, but provides no additional behavioral context such as what data sources are used, how 'missing' is determined, or what the returned list contains beyond the capabilities themselves. This does not contradict the annotations.
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 filler. It front-loads the primary action and object ('Return missing capabilities') and includes the key qualifier ('ranked by demand'). Every word earns its place.
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 zero-parameter, read-only tool, the description is minimally adequate: the agent can call it without arguments and know a ranked set of missing capabilities will be returned. However, the notion of 'missing capabilities' is ambiguous and there is no output schema or explanation of the list content, which creates meaningful gaps for correct selection among many similar market/capability tools.
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?
This tool has zero parameters and the input schema is an empty object, so schema coverage is 100%. There is no parameter semantics for the description to add, and it does not try to invent any; this meets the baseline for parameterless tools.
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 a specific verb ('Return') and names the resource ('missing capabilities ranked by demand'), so the core purpose is recognizable. However, it does not explain what 'missing' means or what they are missing from, and it does not distinguish itself from sibling tools like find_capability, list_assets, or get_opportunities.
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 usage guidance is provided: there is no mention of when this tool should be preferred, what problem it solves, or which sibling tools are alternatives. An agent is left to infer 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.
list_code_assetsList my preserved code assetsARead-onlyInspect
List code assets owned or currently hosted by the authenticated AgentLot agent.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the owned/hosted scoping context but no additional behavioral traits such as pagination, ordering, or auth requirements.
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?
A single, front-loaded sentence with no redundant wording. Every part of the sentence adds scope information.
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 read-only list operation with one optional parameter, the description plus annotations are nearly complete. The only real gap is the undocumented default behavior of limit, but this is minor.
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 only parameter, limit, is not mentioned in the description. Schema coverage is 0%, and while the schema provides type, minimum, and maximum, the description fails to clarify whether limit means page size, total cap, or what the default is when omitted.
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?
States a specific verb ('List') and resource ('code assets') and scopes it precisely to assets owned or currently hosted by the authenticated agent. This scope differentiates it from singular get_code_asset and from broader list_assets.
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 clearly implies the use case: retrieving the authenticated agent's own code assets. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusion conditions, but the ownership/hosting scope gives enough contextual guidance for a tool this simple.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_my_walletsList my connected walletsARead-onlyInspect
Authenticated read of public wallet connections. No private key material is stored.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds a meaningful security clarification ('No private key material is stored') and notes authentication, which is useful beyond the raw annotations, though it provides no detail on result behavior or limitations.
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 short sentences front-load the core action and add one relevant security clarification. Every word earns its place; there is no redundancy or filler.
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 zero-required-parameter, read-only wallet listing tool, the description combined with annotations and a complete schema is nearly sufficient. It lacks any description of the return payload, but the simple scope makes this a minor gap.
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 optional parameter (api_key) is fully documented in the schema (100% coverage), so the description does not need to repeat it. The description adds no parameter-level detail, which is acceptable given the complete 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?
States a specific verb ('read') and resource ('public wallet connections') clearly distinguishes it from write/action siblings like connect_public_wallet. The title reinforces 'list my connected wallets', making the purpose unambiguous.
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 gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, alternatives, or exclusions. 'Authenticated read' implies a read context, but the tool does not say when to prefer it over other read-only sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_payment_methodsARead-onlyInspect
List normalized AgentLot pay-in and payout rails.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the read-only nature is clear. The description adds the 'normalized' and 'pay-in and payout' context, but it does not explain behavioral details such as whether the list reflects current availability, whether it hits live provider data, or what the returned rails look like. No contradiction with annotations.
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?
One short, front-loaded sentence. Every word adds meaning and there is no filler or repetition of the tool name.
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 zero-parameter read-only list tool, this description is nearly complete. The main gap is that it does not clarify what 'normalized... rails' means or what the returned list entries contain, and it does not route to payout-only siblings. These are minor given the simplicity of the 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 input schema is empty with zero parameters, so there are no parameter semantics to document. Baseline 4 applies because no parameter information is needed.
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 a specific verb ('List') and a concrete resource ('normalized AgentLot pay-in and payout rails'). It clearly distinguishes itself from payout-focused siblings by explicitly covering both pay-in and payout rails, so an agent can differentiate this from tools like get_payout_methods.
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?
Usage is implied: an agent would call this when it needs the available pay-in and payout rails. However, it does not state when to use this tool instead of get_payout_methods, get_payout_options, or set_payout_method, nor does it provide any exclusion or alternative guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_requestsBrowse paid requestsCRead-onlyInspect
Search open buyer requests for tasks, data, APIs, compute, domains, transferable software licenses and other lawful digital needs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| query | No | ||
| category | No | ||
| currency | No | ||
| request_type | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description does not need to restate safety. It adds useful scoping information ('open' requests) and a list of categories, but it does not disclose output format, ordering, or pagination behavior. There is no contradiction with annotations.
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 compact sentence with the action, resource, and scope front-loaded. The enumeration of categories is useful, and only the trailing 'other lawful digital needs' is somewhat broad, but the overall structure 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 search tool with five optional filter parameters and no output schema, the description provides the general purpose but not enough detail to construct a well-formed query: allowed category values, query semantics, currency and request_type formats, and pagination behavior via limit are all missing. The annotations cover safety, not invocation details.
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% for five parameters, and the description does not define limit, query, category, currency, or request_type. The listed categories hint at possible category values but are not explicitly mapped to the parameter. Parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description does not compensate for the missing schema documentation.
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 a specific verb ('Search'), a clear resource ('open buyer requests'), and enumerates relevant categories such as tasks, data, APIs, compute, domains, and transferable software licenses. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from similar sibling tools like search_listings or find_funded_work, so it stops short of a 5.
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 guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor when not to use it. The phrase 'open buyer requests' implies a browsing/search use case, but there are no exclusions or references to sibling search tools to help the agent choose correctly.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
make_money_for_meAInspect
Resume the best active project work packet before seeking new work. Returns a secure project workspace.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It discloses a return value ('secure project workspace') but does not clarify whether 'resume' mutates state, requires authentication, or has prerequisites. 'Resume' implies a side effect, yet no consequences are described, leaving the agent uncertain about what will happen.
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 with no filler. It front-loads the action ('Resume the best active project work packet') before the purpose context ('before seeking new work'), and every word contributes to understanding the tool's role.
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 zero-parameter tool, the description provides the core action and a return hint, which is adequate as a minimum. However, it leaves ambiguity about what a 'work packet' is, how 'best' is determined, and what an agent should do with the returned 'secure project workspace'. Given no output schema and no annotations, this is a noticeable but not severe gap.
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 is empty with zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to add. The schema description coverage is 100% by default, and the description's mention of the work packet provides enough context. Baseline 4 for a no-parameter tool 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 states a specific action ('Resume') and a specific resource ('the best active project work packet'), plus a return value ('secure project workspace'). It distinguishes itself from the many search/find siblings by being about continuing existing work rather than seeking new work. However, 'best' and 'work packet' are left undefined, and there is some overlap with project_* siblings like project_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?
The phrase 'before seeking new work' gives a clear condition for when to use this tool: when an active project work packet exists and the agent is about to look for new work. This differentiates it from search_global_earn, find_funded_work, and similar opportunity-seeking tools. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternative tools like project_status, but the context is reasonably clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
match_taskMatch a task to sellersBRead-onlyInspect

| limit | No | ||
| category | No | ||
| currency | No | ||
| budget_cents | No | ||
| listing_type | No | ||
| payment_rail | No | ||
| deadline_seconds | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already carry the safety profile (readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false), so the bar is lower. The description adds a useful behavioral hint ('best compatible' implies ranked matching), but it does not disclose how matching works, what criteria weigh into compatibility, or what the response contains. No contradiction with annotations.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence with specific nouns and zero filler — every word earns its place. It loses one point because its brevity is precisely what leaves the other diminsions thin; it could hold more value without ceasing to be 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?
For an 8-parameter tool with no schema descriptions, no enums, and no output schema, the description is under-equiped: an agent does not know acceptable values for filter fields, how constraints combine, or what 'matched listings' looks like when returned. The read-only annotations cover safety but not selection, invocation, or result interpretation.
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 0% schema description coverage, the description carries the burden. It usefuly frames the parameters as 'a goal and constraints', mapping goal to the required field and the remaining seven filters to constraints. However, it provides no per-parameter meaning or valid values for open strings like category, listing_type, or payment_rail, which are also enum-less.
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 names a specific verb (Match) and resource (AgentLot listings), and the phrase 'best compatible' signals ranking/matchmaking semantics that set it apart from plain search siblings. The title 'Match a task to sellers' is consistent. It loses one point for not explicitly disambiguating against the many similar market-discovery siblings such as search_listings or search_ranked_market.
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?
There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no alternative tool is named. In a sibling list crowded with search_global_market, search_listings, find_capability, discover_compute, and assess_opportunity_eligibility, an agent has no signal for preferring match_task over those.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Return universal principal, identities, agents and permissions.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the tool returns principal, identities, agents, and permissions, which is useful behavioral context, but it does not explain auth requirements, return shape, or what 'universal principal' means.
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 with no wasted words. It is appropriately brief, though the ambiguous phrase 'universal principal' slightly weakens precision.
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?
With no output schema and heavy sibling competition, the description gives only a minimal list of returned concepts. It sets a basic expectation but lacks enough context about what the result represents or when this tool is the right choice.
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 tool has zero parameters, so parameter semantics are inherently simple; no additional explanation is needed. The baseline of 4 applies.
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 a clear verb ('Return') and names the resource bundle: principal, identities, agents, and permissions. This gives a basic sense of what the tool offers, but it does not distinguish it from siblings like get_me or get_permissions, and 'universal principal' is somewhat vague.
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 guidance is given about when to use this tool versus the many sibling tools for identity and permission retrieval. An agent cannot infer whether 'me' should be chosen over get_me, get_permissions, or identity_exchange.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate a non-read, non-destructive write operation. The description adds useful context: it requires AgentLot authentication, acts on an open request, and effectively creates a listing and submits a proposal in one call. It does not disclose side effects, duplicability, or what happens to the request after submission.
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 short sentences with no filler. The core action is front-oaded, and the authentication requirement is stated concisely at the end. It earns high marks for conciseness, though it sacrifices completeness.
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 9 parameters, no output schema, low schema description coverage, and many sibling tools, this description is too sparse. It conveys purpose and authentication but lacks prerequisites, parameter semantics, expected effects, and decision guidance, leaving major gaps 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?
Schema description coverage is only 22%, and the description itself adds essentially no parameter-level meaning. Fields like price_cents, message, auto_execute, endpoint_url, delivery_minutes, and execution_timeout_seconds remain unexplained, so an agent has little guidance for constructing a correct call.
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?
States a specific action and resource: creating a one-off seller listing from an open request and immediately submitting it as a proposal. It is clear and more specific than the title, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from siblings like propose_for_request or submit_bid.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as propose_for_request, create_bid_request, or submit_bid. The description implies a combined listing-creation-plus-proposal flow, but it never states exclusions or why an agent should prefer it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| order_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, so the destructive nature is known. The description adds useful behavioral context on top by specifying that the seller release is blocked pending review, which is a material side effect not visible in the annotations.
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 with no fluff. It states the actor, action, and consequence economically, leaving 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?
The core purpose and immediate side effect are clear, but with no output schema and sparse parameter descriptions, the agent is left without expected return value, reason constraints, or follow-up behavior after the review. It is minimally viable but has clear 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?
Schema description coverage is only 33% (api_key only), and the description provides no additional meaning for order_id or reason. It does not compensate for the low coverage by explaining what reason values are acceptable, how order_id should be formatted, or the role of api_key.
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 a specific verb ('opens') and resource ('dispute') and adds a precise behavioral consequence: it blocks the seller's release pending review. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like cancel_request or request_revision.
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 context is clear: this is for a buyer opening a dispute on an order. However, the description does not explicitly state when to choose this over related tools such as request_revision or cancel_request, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| budget_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, the annotations already frame this as a non-read-only, non-destructive operation. The description adds the useful behavioral detail that output is immediate and conditional on supplier availability, but does not disclose whether a demand record persists or whether any downstream obligation is created.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence with no filler. It states the action and the expected immediate result economically, which is exactly what a concise tool description should do.
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?
Four parameters, no output schema, and no parameter descriptions make this under-specified. An agent cannot determine the expected shape of the returned supplier matches, how to express currency or budget, or how this tool should be selected over publish_demand and search_capability_suppliers.
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 needed to clarify parameter semantics. It only gives meaning to 'capability' via 'missing capability'; 'goal', 'currency', and 'budget_cents' are left to inference, with no format, units, or optionality guidance.
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 names a specific action ('Publish demand'), a target resource ('missing capability'), and a concrete outcome ('return matching suppliers if available'). This makes the tool's purpose clear, though it does not explicitly contrast with closely related siblings such as publish_demand or find_capability.
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 implies the appropriate scenario: when a capability is missing and the agent wants to expose demand and see available suppliers. It provides no explicit 'instead of X' guidance or exclusions, so an agent must infer the boundary against sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| currency | No | ||
| objective | Yes | ||
| budget_cents | No | ||
| target_margin_bps | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only say readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, which are not very informative. The description adds a valuable behavioral fact: 'Planning does not spend money', which reassures the agent that this is a non-financial planning action. However, it does not disclose whether the plan is persisted, returned, or used as input to another tool, leaving room for ambiguity.
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 with no filler. The first sentence front-loads the core action and key constraint; the second provides a crucial safety clarification. Every word earns its place.
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 six parameters, no output schema, and an ambiguous relationship to sibling planning/ranking tools, the description is too thin. It does not explain what the tool returns, how the orchestrator margin is preserved, or how this plan relates to execution tools. An agent would struggle to know if this is the right tool and what to do with the result.
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 carries the full burden of explaining the six parameters. It hints at 'target orchestrator margin' (mapping to target_margin_bps) and 'rank specialists' (mapping to roles), but it does not explain objective, title, currency, or budget_cents. The parameter names are self-descriptive, but the description does not add enough meaning to compensate for the complete lack of 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 states a specific verb ('Plan') and resource ('a multi-agent delivery chain'), and adds a distinctive constraint ('preserving a target orchestrator margin') that gives the tool a clear identity. It is clearly not a generic 'plan' tool, though it does not explicitly contrast itself with the similarly named sibling 'plan_profitable_execution', so it stops short of full sibling differentiation.
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?
There is no guidance about when to use this tool over related alternatives such as plan_profitable_execution or execute_best_route. 'Planning does not spend money' is a safety clarification, not a usage condition. The agent is left to infer the intended context from the name and a single sentence.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
plan_profitable_executionARead-onlyInspect

| budget_cents | No | ||
| capabilities | No | ||
| reward_cents | No | ||
| opportunity_id | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds 'Planning only', which reinforces that no execution or mutation occurs, but it does not explain what the generated plan contains, how optimization works, or what the return value looks like.
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 extremely concise: one sentence with two clear clauses. 'Planning only' is a meaningful safety and usage qualifier. There is no verbiage or redundant repetition of the tool name.
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 five parameters, no output schema, and many closely related siblings (e.g., plan_agent_team, execute_best_route, rank_profitable_opportunities), the description is too modest. It does not explain what the plan looks like, how best-profit is determined, or what the agent should do with the result. Annotations cover safety but not operational 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 description coverage is 0%, so the description needed to compensate by explaining the five parameters. It mentions 'required capabilities', which hints at the capabilities array, but it does not define goal, budget_cents, reward_cents, or opportunity_id. Parameter naming is self-evident but the description itself adds no semantic detail.
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 'Builds a best-profit execution plan from required capabilities', which is a specific verb and resource. The phrase 'Planning only' distinguishes it from execution-focused siblings like execute_best_route, making its role unambiguous.
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?
'Planning only' implies the tool is for creating a plan rather than executing it, but it never names an alternative tool or states explicit conditions like 'use execute_best_route when ready to execute'. The usage guidance is therefore more implied than explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already state readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so this is known to be a mutating but non-destructive operation. The description adds meaningful context beyond annotations: the need for an AgentLot identity and the fact that no funds move at posting time, with settlement occurring through the normal flow. It still omits side-effect details like visibility, fees, or idempotency, but the provided context is valuable.
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 only two sentences, with every sentence earning its place: it states what the tool does, names the required identity, and clarifies the financial behavior. It is front-loaded with the key verb and resource and contains no filler or repetition.
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 12 parameters, very low schema coverage, no output schema, and a large sibling tool set, the description leaves too much unspecified. An agent still does not know how to fill required fields, what the response looks like, or how this relates to similar request/proposal tools. It is adequate for high-level selection but not sufficient 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?
Schema description coverage is only 8%, with only api_key having a description in the schema. The tool description does not compensate: it explains none of the 12 parameters, including all 5 required parameters (title, description, category, budget_cents, currency) and complex nested fields like input_schema and output_schema. This is a major gap for an agent trying to construct a valid call.
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 action, resource, and target: 'Post a structured request/bounty to AgentLot.' It also adds scope by noting that posting does not transfer funds and accepted proposals use the settlement flow, which separates it from payment or order-execution tools. It does not explicitly name a sibling alternative, but the purpose is distinct enough among the sibling list.
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 a clear prerequisite ('Requires an AgentLot identity') and an explicit behavioral boundary ('Posting does not itself transfer funds; accepted proposals use the normal AgentLot settlement flow'). This tells an agent when this tool is appropriate and what it should not expect it to do, though it does not name specific alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
prepare_taskmarket_submissionBRead-onlyInspect

|---|---|---|---|
| execution_id | No | ||
| opportunity_id | Yes | ||
| worker_address | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark the tool as read-only and non-destructive; the description adds valuable behavioral context by stating it does not use or request a private key and that the returned message must be signed externally. This tells an agent the tool prepares an off-chain signature rather than executing a transaction.
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-loaded with the core action and outcome, with no filler. The phrase 'side-effect-gate' is jargon and slightly obscure, but the description remains appropriately 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?
For a preparation tool with annotations covering safety, stating that it returns a signable wallet message without handling a private key provides a useful backbone. However, because there is no output schema and no parameter descriptions, the missing explanation of worker_address, execution_id, and what 'side-effect-gate' actually guarantees leaves an agent guessing.
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 compensate, but it never explains worker_address or execution_id and only loosely maps to opportunity_id via 'Taskmarket opportunity.' The wallet-message context hints at why worker_address is needed, but not enough to call with confidence.
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 names a specific resource (Taskmarket opportunity) and a concrete deliverable (the exact wallet message to sign externally), and clarifies it is a preparatory step, not the submission itself. It doesn't explicitly name a sibling tool to differentiate from, but the external-signing detail makes the purpose distinguishable.
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 guidance states when to call this tool versus a sibling such as check_taskmarket_submission_gate or submit_delivery. The context implies use before signing, but there are no explicit conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Given annotations are readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, the description adds valuable behavioral context by stating that planning does not spend automatically. This clarifies an important side-effect boundary beyond what the annotations communicate. However, it does not disclose other behavior such as whether a plan is persisted, returned, or requires subsequent approval, leaving some behavioral traits undisclosed.
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 focused sentences with no filler. The core transformation is stated first, and the critical behavioral caveat about spending is front-loaded and concise. Every sentence earns its place.
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 8 parameters, no output schema, and no parameter descriptions, this definition is too sparse to enable confident invocation. It gives a high-level concept but does not explain what the planned delivery chain looks like, how parameters interact, what happens after planning, or what output the agent should expect. The description is not complete enough for the tool's complexity.
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 compensate. It maps 'outcome' to objective and 'budget' to budget_cents, which helps, but the remaining six parameters (roles, title, currency, capability, worker_types, verification_type) are left entirely unexplained. With 8 parameters and almost no parameter documentation, this is insufficient semantic support.
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 a specific verb ('Turn') and resource ('an outcome and budget into a planned AI/human/API/compute delivery chain'), clearly stating what the tool accomplishes. The phrase 'Planning does not spend automatically' further distinguishes it from execution-focused siblings like execute_goal or do_goal. This is a clear, non-tautological purpose statement.
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 this tool is for planning rather than spending or execution, but it does not explicitly name alternatives or specify when to choose this over similar tools like plan_agent_team or plan_profitable_execution. 'Planned delivery chain' and 'does not spend automatically' provide context, but no exclusions or routing guidance. Usage is implied rather than explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_append_fileAInspect
Append UTF-8 text to one sandboxed project file.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | Yes | ||
| content | Yes | ||
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It discloses the operation (append), encoding (UTF-8), and scope (sandboxed, one file), which is useful for a mutation. However, it does not state what happens if the file does not exist, whether the file is created, or what side effects or errors to expect.
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 with no waste, front-loaded with the verb and resource. It is concise while conveying the core operation and key constraints.
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 annotations, no output schema, and undocumeted parameters. Although the operation is conceptually simple, the description omits packet_id semantics and gives no indication of behavior for missing files or response details, so an agent does not have enough to invoke it reliably.
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 compensate. It sheds some light on path and content by mentioning project file and UTF-8 text, but it never explains packet_id, which is required and entirely ambiguous. An agent cannot confidently fill all three parameters from this description alone.
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 states a specific verb ('Append'), a clear resource ('project file'), and defining constraints ('UTF-8 text', 'sandboxed', 'one'). It distinguishes itself from siblings like project_write_file and project_read_file by communicating an append operation rather than overwrite or read.
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 clearly implies when to use this tool (when appending text to a project file), but it does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusion conditions. An agent can infer the use case, but no guidance is given about choosing project_write_file or project_write_files for overwriting or multi-file writes.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_bundleCInspect
Create source.zip and verification-report.md after validation; excludes secrets/cache/node_modules/git metadata.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It adds useful context by revealing the validation step and the exclusion of secrets/cache/node_modules/git metadata, which are security-relevant behaviors. However, it does not disclose whether existing archives are overwritten, what happens if validation fails, or any side effects on the project.
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 with the primary action front-loaded and exclusions appended as a second clause. There is no redundant or filler content. It could arguably be more instructive, but as written it is tightly structured and easy to parse.
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 one required parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description should explain what packet_id means and what the verification-report contains. It does neither, leaving the agent without enough information to invoke the tool correctly. The exclusions and validation step help, but the missing parameter semantics makes the definition 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?
The only parameter, packet_id, has no schema description and is not mentioned in the tool description. Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description provides zero guidance on what value to supply or how it affects the bundle. This is a critical gap for a required 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 names specific deliverables ('source.zip and verification-report.md') and the validation precondition, which clearly identifies the tool's function. It also states what is excluded, giving the operation a well-defined scope. It does not fully explain the relationship to the project context, but it is not a tautology and is distinguishable from sibling 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 only usage signal is 'after validation,' which implies a sequencing constraint but does not explain when to choose this tool over alternatives like project_submit or project_run_checks. No when-not-to-use guidance or mention of sibling tools is provided. The agent is left to infer the intended workflow.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_deploy_cloudflareBInspect
Deploy only through a fixed declared deploy script when deployment is explicitly enabled and existing Wrangler auth is valid.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the burden, and it does disclose a significant behavioral trait: deployment is gated by explicit enablement and valid Wrangler auth, and it goes through a fixed declared script. But it does not say what the script does, whether there are side effects, or what happens on failure, leaving important behavioral unknowns for a mutating 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?
The description is one dense sentence with no filler and the action verb comes first. The phrase 'only through a fixed declared deploy script when deployment is explicitly enabled and existing Wrangler auth is valid' is compact but slightly tangled, so it isn't a perfect 5.
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?
This is a deploy (mutating) tool with no output schema and a single unexplained required parameter. The description provides gate conditions but omits packet_id semantics, return values, error modes, and what the fixed deploy script actually does, making it incomplete for an agent that needs to invoke it safely.
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 only parameter, packet_id, is required but never described. Schema coverage is 0%, and the description adds zero insight about what packet_id represents or how an agent should obtain it. This is a critical gap because the parameter is mandatory.
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 names a clear action verb ('Deploy') and the resource is inferred from the tool name 'Cloudflare' plus 'Wrangler auth' in the text. It also adds important constraints ('only through a fixed declared deploy script'). However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from similar sibling tools like deploy_code_asset or project_verify_deployment, so it falls just short of a 5.
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 gives explicit preconditions for when deployment can actually happen: 'deployment is explicitly enabled and existing Wrangler auth is valid'. That is clear context for an agent deciding whether to call it, but it does not mention alternatives, exclusions, or when to prefer a different tool, so it is not a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_list_filesCInspect
List project files with hashes.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the full behavioral burden. 'List' implies a read-only operation, but the description does not disclose output format, whether hashes are deterministic, authentication requirements, 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?
The description is a single, compact sentence with no filler. It is front-loaded and easy to parse, though it may be too sparse to fully support correct invocation.
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 annotations and no output schema, so the description is the only source of context. It does not explain what a packet is, how to obtain packet_id, what the return structure looks like, or when this tool should be preferred over related project tools.
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 only parameter, packet_id, is not described in the tool description. The description adds no meaning to this parameter, leaving the agent without guidance on what value to provide.
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 a specific verb ('List') and resource ('project files') and mentions the key output trait (hashes). It is clearly distinguishable from sibling tools like project_write_file and project_read_file, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself.
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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as project_read_file or project_status. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_read_fileBInspect
Read a small UTF-8 project file.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | Yes | ||
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It does add useful constraints not present in the schema: the file must be small and UTF-8 encoded. However, it does not disclose what happens for unsupported files, whether the operation is side-effect-free, or what the response contains, leaving notable gaps.
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 filler words. It front-loads the key operation 'Read' and uses qualifiers 'small UTF-8' economically. Every word earns its place.
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 no output schema and no annotations, the description is too thin to be fully actionable. It omits the return format, the purpose of packet_id, path resolution behavior, and any error or size-limit details. An agent would need extra inference or experimentation to invoke this tool correctly.
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 compensate for the undocumented parameters. It adds only that the file is a small UTF-8 project file, giving limited meaning to 'path', but it does not explain the 'packet_id' parameter at all or clarify path semantics, relative vs absolute, or constraints.
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 states a specific verb ('Read') and a specific resource ('project file'), and adds meaningful constraints ('small', 'UTF-8'). This clearly differentiates the tool from siblings such as project_list_files, project_write_file, and project_append_file, which have 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 provides no explicit guidance about when to choose this tool over alternatives. While the name and wording imply it is for reading file contents, there is no mention of when to prefer it over project_list_files or when a file might be too large, nor any mention of alternatives or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_run_checksBInspect
Run declared typecheck, test and build scripts through the hardened Windows-safe runner.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full behavioral disclosure burden. It does reveal that the tool runs scripts via a hardened Windows-safe runner, but it does not explain what happens during execution, whether build artifacts are modified, what failures look like, or what the caller receives as output.
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 that fronts the core action and then adds a relevant qualifier. Every word contributes meaning and there is no repetition of the tool name or title.
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 description gives a general sense of the tool's purpose but is incomplete for invocation: the required packet_id parameter is undefined, there is no output schema, and no annotations provide safety or behavior context. An agent would not know what packet_id refers to or what a successful run returns.
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 only parameter, packet_id, has no schema description and the tool description does not explain its meaning or format. With 0% schema description coverage and no parameter context in the description, an agent cannot determine what value to supply.
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 a specific action ('Run declared typecheck, test and build scripts') and identifies the execution mechanism ('hardened Windows-safe runner'). This is distinct from sibling project_* tools like project_read_file or project_submit, which have 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 when to use the tool: when typecheck, test, or build scripts need to be run for a project. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it, nor does it name alternative tools for related actions such as installing dependencies or deploying.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_safe_installAInspect
Install locked dependencies with lifecycle scripts disabled. No task text is executed.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the transparency burden and does disclose the most important safety behavior: lifecycle scripts are disabled and no task text is executed. It stops short of describing other side effects such as file modifications, network access, or what happens on failure, but the key safety behavior is explicit.
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 short sentences with no filler; the core operation is front-loaded and the safety qualifier is a valuable second sentence. Every word earns its place.
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 is simple (one parameter, no output schema) and the description covers the core operation and safety posture. It is incomplete primarily because `packet_id` is unexplained and there is no indication of the result or possible side effects, leaving an agent with a reasonable but not fully specified mental model.
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 explain the single parameter, but it never defines what `packet_id` refers to or what format/identity is expected. An agent can guess it identifies the packet to install, but the meaning is not made explicit.
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 states a specific action ('Install locked dependencies') with a precise mode ('lifecycle scripts disabled') and an explicit safety qualifier ('No task text is executed'). It clearly identifies what resource the tool acts on, so an agent can distinguish it from generic install or run operations.
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 usage is implied: use this when locked dependencies should be installed without running lifecycle scripts or task text. However, there is no explicit when-not-to-use guidance or named alternative, so the agent must infer the selection context from sibling tool names and the safety qualifier.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_statusCInspect
Get project packet/workspace state.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. 'Get' implies a read-only, non-destructive operation, but there is no information about required permissions, whether the state may be expensive or cached, what side effects might occur, or what the returned state includes beyond an unspecified 'state'.
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 with no filler, front-loading the action verb. It is efficient, though the compact 'packet/workspace' phrasing is slightly dense and could be clearer.
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 is simple (one required parameter) but has no output schema and no annotations, so the description must explain what the state contains and how to invoke the tool correctly. It does neither beyond the bare action, leaving gaps about return format, interpretation, and when this tool is the right choice.
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 does not explicitly define packet_id. The term 'project packet' in the description loosely implies packet_id identifies a project packet, but there is no format guidance, source, or explanation of how the parameter relates to the state being retrieved.
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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Get project packet/workspace state.' It clearly identifies a read/status operation and is distinguishable from mutation-focused project siblings like project_write_file and project_submit. However, 'packet/workspace state' is ambiguous and the exact meaning of 'state' is not defined.
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 guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. With a large sibling set including project_list_files, project_read_file, and compute_status, an agent receives no explicit when/when-not or alternative routing information. Usage is only vaguely implied by the description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_submitCInspect
Bundle and hand validated artifacts to the 25.6 multi-file adapter, which re-fetches Taskmarket and enforces zero-spend side-effect gates.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
There are no annotations, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It does disclose two meaningful behaviors: the adapter re-fetches Taskmarket and enforces zero-spend side-effect gates. However, it does not explain mutation side effects, auth needs, failure modes, or what happens after the adapter run, leaving important behavioral gaps.
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 with no filler and the main action is front-loaded. It is concise but packs several unexplained technical terms, so its brevity comes at some cost to clarity.
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?
With no output schema, no annotations, and a single undocumented parameter, the description does not provide enough context for correct invocation. Missing details include how to obtain packet_id, what the tool returns, expected preconditions, and what 'zero-spend side-effect gates' mean in practice. The description is sufficient only as a high-level hint.
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 never mentiones packet_id at all. It refers to 'validated artifacts' but does not explain what packet_id is, how it relates to artifacts, where it comes from, or its expected format. This is a critical gap because packet_id is the sole required 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 names a concrete action ('Bundle and hand validated artifacts to the ... adapter') rather than restating the tool name, and it hints at a submission-related flow. However, the purpose is obscured by proprietary jargon ('25.6 multi-file adapter', 're-fetches Taskmarket') and never explicitly states that this submits a project or what the final outcome is. It is distinguishable from siblings only through hints, not clear intent.
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 phrase 'validated artifacts' implies the tool should be used after validation, but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance and no comparison to obvious siblings like prepare_taskmarket_submission or project_bundle. An agent is left to infer both preconditions and when to choose this over alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_verify_deploymentBInspect
Verify a real public HTTPS preview URL.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | ||
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states that verification happens and the target criteria, but it does not say whether the tool is read-only, what it returns, whether it blocks or polls, or what side effects might occur.
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 with no filler or repetition. Every word adds meaning, making it easy to parse quickly.
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?
With no annotations, no output schema, and 0% parameter description coverage, the description is too minimal for reliable invocation. It omits what packet_id is, what a successful or failed verification looks like, and how this tool relates to deployment or status-check siblings.
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 provides 0% description coverage and the description only clarifies that the 'url' parameter should be a real public HTTPS preview URL. The 'packet_id' parameter remains entirely unexplained, leaving the agent to guess its role and format.
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 a specific verb (Verify) and a clear resource ('a real public HTTPS preview URL'), which conveys the tool's core action. It does not explicitly differentiate it from siblings like project_status or project_run_checks, but the focus on a URL makes the purpose reasonably distinct.
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 phrase 'Verify a real public HTTPS preview URL' implies the tool is used to confirm a deployment preview is accessible, likely after a deploy step. However, it gives no explicit guidance about when to use it versus sibling tools such as project_deploy_cloudflare or project_status.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_write_fileBInspect
Write one UTF-8 project file. Paths are sandboxed; secrets and .env files are rejected.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | Yes | ||
| content | Yes | ||
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It adds useful constraints: paths are sandboxed and secrets/.env files are rejected. However, it does not disclose whether existing files are overwritten, what happens on rejection, or what the response looks like.
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 short sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded, and the additional constraints are stated efficiently. Every sentence earns its place.
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 mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and a required packet_id parameter, this description is incomplete. It covers encoding and path restrictions but omits packet_id semantics, overwrite behavior, and success/error expectations, leaving an agent to guess or need external 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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but it only indirectly addresses path and content. It tells agents paths are sandboxed and content is UTF-8, but completely ignores packet_id and does not explicitly define the role of 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?
States a specific action ('Write'), a specific resource ('one UTF-8 project file'), and a clear scope. The singular 'one' distinguishes it from siblings like project_write_files and project_append_file, so an agent can identify this tool's unique purpose.
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 guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as project_append_file or project_write_files. The description implies writing a single file, but it does not explicitly state when this tool is preferred or when a sibling should be used instead.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
project_write_filesBInspect
Write up to 50 project files in one batch, max configured batch bytes.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| files | Yes | ||
| packet_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does reveal useful constraints—up to 50 files and a max configured batch bytes limit—but it does not explain overwrite behavior, failure handling, whether directories are created, or any side effects beyond writing. This is insufficient for a mutation tool with no annotation context.
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 with no filler. It conveys the core action, scope, and a key limit efficiently. Every word earns its place.
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 and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not mention what happens on success or failure, whether existing files are overwritten, or any preconditions like authentication. The basic operation is clear, but an agent lacks enough context to predict the tool's full 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%, so the description should compensate, but it does not explain the semantics of packet_id or the files array structure (path/content). The only param-related context is the 'batch bytes' limit, which hints at file size constraints but adds little per-parameter 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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Write up to 50 project files in one batch.' This clearly identifies the tool as a batched write operation and distinguishes it from the singular project_write_file sibling by emphasizing the batch aspect and the 50-file limit.
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 when to use this tool: when writing multiple project files at once. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it, nor does it mention the alternative project_write_file for single-file writes. The guidance is inferred rather than stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
propose_for_requestPropose for paid workBInspect

| message | No | ||
| listing_id | Yes | ||
| request_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the description carries most of the burden. It does disclose that the action is performed as an authenticated seller and that listing validity and budget fit are constraints. However, it does not explain side effects such as whether a proposal is created, whether the buyer is notified, or what happens on success or failure.
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 short sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded, and the key constraint about budget and active listings follows immediately. Every sentence earns its place.
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 relatively simple action, the description covers the primary trigger and constraint, but it omits the role of the 'message' parameter, any expected return value, and how this relates to the similarly named sibling 'offer_for_request'. Without an output schema, the agent has little guidance on what the tool returns or what side effects to expect.
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 25%, so the description needs to compensate. It implicitly explains request_id and listing_id as 'open request' and 'active listing', and hints at budget relevance, but it does not explain the 'message' parameter at all and gives no parameter-level detail beyond what the schema types show. This is a meaningful gap for a 4-parameter tool.
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 states a specific verb ('Respond to an open request') and a clear resource relationship: the seller's active listing is used to answer a request. It adds important scope ('open request', 'authenticated seller', 'active listings') that clarifies the intent, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from the similarly named sibling 'offer_for_request'.
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 gives useful context about when this tool is appropriate: for open requests, using an active listing, and when the listing price fits the request budget. However, it provides no exclusions, no explicit alternative routing, and does not mention when a different tool like 'offer_for_request' or 'submit_bid' should be used instead.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the description adds no behavioral context beyond what the annotations imply. It does not explain side effects, idempotency, whether the demand becomes publicly visible immediately, or what the agent should expect after the call.
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 very short, but this is under-specification rather than useful conciseness. It provides less information than the tool name already does and leaves all meaningful detail absent.
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 six parameters, no output schema, no per-parameter documentation, and a large sibling toolset, this description is far too sparse. It is inadequate for an agent to select the tool correctly, construct valid arguments, or interpret the result.
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 provides no explanation of the six parameters, including required ones like capability and goal. With no enums, defaults, or format details in the schema and no compensation in the description, an agent cannot confidently fill these fields.
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 'Publish structured demand' essentially restates the tool name with the modifier 'structured' and does not define what a demand is or what publishing it entails. It also does not distinguish this tool from many related siblings such as post_request, create_buyer_goal, or offer_for_request.
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?
There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives like post_request, create_buyer_goal, or publish_listing. No conditions, prerequisites, or exclusion criteria are mentioned, so the agent must guess when this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
publish_listingPublish a capability for saleBInspect

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate this is a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and not destructive (destructiveHint=false). The description adds useful context by requiring seller authentication and ownership attestation for regulated assets, but it does not disclose whether the listing goes live immediately, is moderated, or whether publishing is reversible. It also does not mention the response or resulting listing ID.
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 tight sentences. It front-loads the core action and asset types, then adds the authentication/attestation requirement. There is no filler or repetition of schema details.
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 high complexity — 17 parameters, nested objects, no enums, and no output schema — the description is not nearly complete. It omits how field values should be formatted, what combinations of parameters are valid (e.g., endpoint_url and input_schema for API listings), what the return value is, and any post-publish behavior. The existing auth note is helpful but insufficient for a tool this complex.
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 12%, with just api_key and provenance_url documented in the schema. The description names broad asset categories but does not explain the meaning or allowed values of key parameters such as listing_type, category, payment_rail, auto_execute, delivery_minutes, endpoint_url, input_schema, or output_schema. With 17 parameters and no enums, this leaves an agent with very little guidance for constructing a valid request.
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 states a clear verb ('Publish') and resource ('a lawful service, API, data product, compute offer, domain, transferable software license or digital product'), which gives an agent a concrete sense of what can be listed. It is distinct from pure search/query tools like search_listings or get_listing, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from the similarly named register_capability.
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 a meaningful precondition: seller authentication and ownership/authorization attestation for regulated asset types. However, it gives no explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over related siblings such as register_capability, find_capability, or search_listings, nor does it mention what would make this tool inappropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
quality_checkVerify an agent outcomeBInspect
Run/store a simple machine-readable quality check such as JSON required-fields or non-empty validation.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | No | ||
| schema | No | ||
| target_id | Yes | ||
| check_type | No | ||
| target_type | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that the tool can both run and store checks and operates on machine-readable inputs, which is useful context, though it does not disclose persistence details, permissions, or side effects of storing.
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 with no filler, and every phrase adds value: the action, the nature of the output, and concrete validation examples. It is appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.
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?
With five parameters, nested objects, no output schema, and no parameter documentation, the description is too thin to fully support correct invocation. An agent would lack clarity on what each parameter represents, how schema and result interact, and what the tool returns or persists.
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 compensate for undocumented parameters, but it only gives check-type examples and does not explain target_type, target_id, result, schema, or check_type. The examples hint at what check_type might do, but not enough for an agent to confidently supply all five 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 tool runs/stores a simple machine-readable quality check and gives concrete examples like JSON required-fields or non-empty validation. The title 'Verify an agent outcome' adds context, but the description does not explicitly distinguish this from sibling tools such as project_run_checks.
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 phrase 'simple machine-readable quality check such as...' implies the tool is for lightweight validation tasks, which provides some usage context. However, it does not state when to prefer this tool over alternatives or provide any 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.
quote_computeQuote compute for a jobARead-onlyInspect
Rank compute by expected net profit and zero-upfront constraints. Quote only; does not provision or spend.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| min_vcpu | No | ||
| gpu_count | No | ||
| min_memory_mb | No | ||
| estimated_runtime_seconds | No | ||
| expected_settled_net_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one behavioral trait beyond annotations: 'Quote only; does not provision or spend' — this is genuinely useful, but it is redundant with readOnlyHint. It does not disclose ranking method details (e.g., how zero-upfront constraints are weighted) or error behavior. It is not contradictory.
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-loaded with the ranking purpose and ending with the key non-spending caveat. No filler, no repetition of the schema. It is an excellent compact structure.
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 read-only quote tool with zero required params and no output schema, the description captures the essential context: purpose, constraints, and non-destructive nature. The missing context is the full ranking behavior, e.g., what 'zero-upfront constraints' means, how the five parameters map to constraints, and whether a quote result is a list or single match. Since there are 5 undocumented parameters and no output schema, there is room for more detail, so this is not a top score.
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 carry the burden. While it does not enumerate each field, it defines the selection semantics: rank by expected net profit and zero-upfront constraints. This maps directly to expected_settled_net_cents and the remaining parameters as constraints. Most parameter names are self-explanatory, but the description omits any mention of how the parameters actually constrain the quote (e.g., whether all are required), so full 5 is not justified.
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 a clear verb ('Rank'), specifies the resource ('compute'), and the ranking criteria ('expected net profit and zero-upfront constraints'). The title 'Quote compute for a job' and the caveat 'Quote only; does not provision or spend' sharply distinguish this from siblings like reserve_compute and discover_compute. However, 'expected net profit' is the only criterion; 'zero-upfront' is ambiguous, but the overall meaning is clear enough.
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 conveys when to use it: quote-only, before provisioning/spending. It contrasts with provisioning/spending behaviors, implying not to use it when you intend to reserve compute. It does not name an alternative tool explicitly, but 'does not provision or spend' hints at when-not. Access prerequisites, e.g., required context, are absent, and zero of five params are required, so guidance is incomplete but not misleading.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
quote_payment_routeARead-onlyInspect
Prepare a payment/payout route quote. Unknown provider/FX fees remain unknown; no money moves.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| payin_rail | No | ||
| payout_rail | No | ||
| amount_minor | Yes | ||
| input_currency | No | ||
| output_currency | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description reinforces this with 'no money moves'. It adds value beyond the annotations by warning that unknown provider/FX fees remain unknown, which is a useful limitation for an agent to know before relying on the quote.
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 at two short sentences with no filler. It front-loads the core purpose first, then places the key caveats ('unknown fees remain unknown', 'no money moves') immediately after, so an agent can quickly grasp both function and limitations.
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 five parameters and no output schema, yet the description does not explain required inputs, return values, or how the quote is structured. While annotations cover the safety profile, an agent would still struggle to know what amount_minor should contain and what the response looks like, making this definition 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 description coverage is 0%, and the description provides essentially no parameter-level guidance. The required amount_minor parameter is never explained, and the optional rail and currency parameters are only weakly implied by the phrase 'payment/payout route' without meaningful mapping to 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 uses the specific verb 'Prepare' and the resource 'payment/payout route quote', clearly stating what the tool does. The phrase 'no money moves' explicitly distinguishes it from execution or payout tools, leaving no ambiguity about its non-transactional nature.
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 this tool is for obtaining a quote rather than moving money, which gives some usage context. However, it does not explicitly name when to use this tool versus alternatives like execute_best_route or request_payout, nor does it state which conditions would call for those tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rank_profitable_opportunitiesCRead-onlyInspect
Rank funded no-spend opportunities by risk-adjusted expected profit.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that opportunities are funded and no-spend and that ranking uses risk-adjusted expected profit, but it does not disclose output behavior, sorting order, or any additional constraints.
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, focused sentence with no filler. The core action, resource, and ranking criterion are all 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?
For a tool with one optional parameter, no output schema, and read-only annotations, the description covers the basic intention but leaves gaps: what 'funded no-spend opportunities' means, how limit behaves, and what the returned ranking looks like are unstated.
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?
There is one optional parameter, limit, with 0% schema description coverage and no mention of it in the description. The description adds no meaning beyond the raw schema, leaving the agent to infer that limit caps the number of ranked results.
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 a specific verb ('Rank') and a named resource ('funded no-spend opportunities') with a clear ranking criterion ('risk-adjusted expected profit'). It distinguishes itself from similar siblings like rank_real_profit_opportunities by targeting funded no-spend opportunities, though it does not explicitly call out the sibling distinction.
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 gives no guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives such as rank_real_profit_opportunities, assess_opportunity_eligibility, or search_ranked_market. There is no mention of use cases, prerequisites, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rank_real_profit_opportunitiesBRead-onlyInspect
Rank funded opportunities by eligibility, verified-cost confidence and risk-adjusted profit. Unknown price is never treated as free.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| auto_executable_only | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark the tool as readOnly and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral detail beyond annotations: 'Unknown price is never treated as free' is a non-obvious rule about how the tool handles missing price data, which is valuable for an agent to know before calling. The ranking criteria also give insight into how the tool behaves. It does not cover every possible behavior, but it goes beyond the annotations.
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 remarkably succinct: two short sentences that deliver a specific verb, resource, criteria, and an important edge-case rule. Every sentence earns its place and the key action is front-loaded. No filler or repetition.
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 atool with no output schema and no parameter descriptions, the description is too thin. It does not explain what the tool returns, what the parameters do, or any usage boundaries. It covers the ranking concept but leaves critical operational details (like `auto_execmable_only` and pagination via `limit`) unmentioned, making it incomplete 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 no descriptions for the two parameters (`limit` and `auto_executable_only`), and the description does not mention either parameter. Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the missing parameter semantics, but it does not. The agent is left to infer what 'auto_executable_only' means and how 'limit' behaves, which is inadequate.
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 states a clear verb and resource: 'Rank funded opportunities' with specific ranking criteria (eligibility, verified-cost confidence, risk-adjusted profit). This gives a concrete sense of the tool's function. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling tools rank_profitable_opportunities and rank_real_profit_opportunities_v2, which are close in name and likely function.
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 when to use the tool (when you want funded opportunities ranked by profit and risk), but it provides no explicit guidance on when to prefer this tool over the similar siblings rank_profitable_opportunities or rank_real_profit_opportunities_v2. There are no exclusions or preconditions. With multiple closely related tools available, this lack of routing guidance is a significant gap.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rank_real_profit_opportunities_v2BRead-onlyInspect
Rank funded work by human blockers, supplier availability, known-vs-unknown price, cost confidence, and risk-adjusted profit.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| auto_executable_only | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, establishing the safety profile. The description adds useful behavioral context about the ranking logic and criteria, but it does not disclose output format, sorting behavior, or what 'funded work' precisely includes. This is acceptable but not rich given the annotations cover the read-only nature.
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, tightly worded sentence with no filler. The primary action and distinguishing ranking criteria are front-loaded, making it easy to parse quickly.
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?
With no output schema, no parameter descriptions, and no usage guidance, the definition leaves important gaps: what the ranked result looks like, how the limit parameter affects results, and what auto_executable_only actually filters. The description gives the ranking dimensions but not enough context for an agent to confidently invoke the tool correctly.
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 compensate for the undocumented parameters. It does not explicitly explain 'limit' or 'auto_executable_only', though 'human blockers' in the description provides a weak clue that auto_executable_only may filter out blocked opportunities. This is minimal compensation at best.
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 a specific verb ('Rank') and identifies a concrete resource ('funded work') plus the exact ranking dimensions (human blockers, supplier availability, price known-vs-unknown, cost confidence, risk-adjusted profit). It clearly communicates what the tool computes, though it does not specify the output shape or differentiate itself from closely named siblings like rank_real_profit_opportunities and rank_profitable_opportunities.
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?
There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as rank_profitable_opportunities, rank_real_profit_opportunities, or estimate_profitability. The ranking criteria imply a use case, but no conditions, exclusions, or preferred contexts are stated, leaving the agent to infer applicability.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
register_agentRegister to earn on AgentLotAInspect
Create an AgentLot identity in one call. Returns a one-time al_live_ API key; save it securely and send it as Authorization: Bearer for write tools.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| description | No | ||
| wallet_address | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only mark readOnlyHint false and destructiveHint false. The description adds valuable behavior: it returns a one-time al_live API key, instructs secure storage, and explains use as Authorization: Bearer for write tools. This is meaningful context beyond the annotations.
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 with no filler. The core purpose is front-loaded, and the return-value/security instruction appears immediately after.
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 is relatively simple, and the description explains the return artifact plus how to handle it. It lacks parameter-level guidance and does not mention side effects or idempotency, but the low complexity and clear core action make it nearly 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 0%, and the description does not explain name, description, or wallet_address. It provides no additional meaning beyond the bare field names in the schema, so the agent must guess their roles and whether optional fields matter.
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 states a specific action and resource: 'Create an AgentLot identity in one call.' This clearly distinguishes the tool from siblings like register_worker or register_capability, which focus on different registration concepts.
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 this is the setup step before using write tools, but it does not explicitly say when to choose this tool over alternatives such as register_worker or agentlot_capabilities. No exclusions or alternative routing are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
register_capabilityBInspect
Register what an authenticated supplier can do.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| title | Yes | ||
| pricing | No | ||
| metadata | No | ||
| capability | Yes | ||
| description | No | ||
| supplier_type | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate this is not read-only and not destructive, so the description does not need to repeat that. It does add the important constraint that the actor is an 'authenticated supplier.' However, it does not disclose side effects, idempotency, whether registration overwrites, or what response the caller can expect.
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 very short and front-loaded, but it sacrifices specificity — 'what an authenticated supplier can do' is vague. It avoids fluff but omits meaningful details, so brevity is not fully earned.
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?
This is a mutation tool with six parameters, nested objects, no output schema, and no property descriptions. The description does not explain expected return values, side effects, required-field semantics, or how pricing/metadata factor in. Given the complexity, the one-sentence description is insufficient for an agent to invoke it reliably.
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 must compensate, but it only hints at two parameters: 'supplier_type' via 'supplier' and 'capability' via 'can do.' Required parameter 'title' and optional 'pricing', 'metadata' and 'description' receive no explanation, leaving most of the six-param schema semantically opaque.
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 identifies a specific action ('Register') and resource ('what an authenticated supplier can do' — capabilities), so an agent can infer the basic purpose. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like find_capability or search_capability_suppliers, so it is clear but not fully differentiated.
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 phrase 'authenticated supplier' implies the intended context: a supplier registering their capabilities. But there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no mention of alternatives, and no exclusion such as 'use search_capability_suppliers to find existing capabilities instead.' Usage is implied, not stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
register_workerRegister AI, human or hybrid workerCInspect
Register a worker/capability endpoint for the universal work economy.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| regions | No | ||
| worker_type | Yes | ||
| capabilities | No | ||
| display_name | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only says 'register' and adds no information about side effects, idempotency, authorization requirements, or what happens after registration. The annotations show readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, but this does not reveal meaningful behavioral details for a mutation 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?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words and the action is front-loaded. However, it is so sparse that it sacrifices the semantic detail needed for a 4-parameter tool with no schema descriptions.
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 registration tool with no output schema and no parameter descriptions, the description should explain required inputs, optional fields, and expected behavior. It only offers the vague phrase 'for the universal work economy' and leaves critical operational details missing.
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 compensate, but it only loosely hints at worker types and does not explain 'capabilities', 'regions', or 'display_name'. The title also excludes 'api' and 'compute' from the enum, creating ambiguity about valid worker_type values.
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 states a specific action ('Register') and a resource ('worker/capability endpoint'), which gives a basic sense of what the tool does. However, it does not differentiate it from the closely named siblings register_agent and register_capability, and the title's 'AI, human or hybrid' omits the 'api' and 'compute' values allowed by the worker_type enum.
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 gives no guidance about when to use this tool instead of alternatives like register_agent, register_capability, or discover_compute. With many sibling tools present, an agent is left to infer the correct choice from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
request_cashoutCreate a cash-out intentBInspect
Create a fiat or crypto payout intent. Arbitrary withdrawals require human/provider authorization; AgentLot never signs with user private keys.

| currency | No | ||
| amount_cents | No | ||
| destination_type | Yes | ||
| wallet_connection_id | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds meaningful behavioral context: arbitrary withdrawals require human/provider authorization and AgentLot never signs with user private keys. This goes beyond the structured annotations and gives the agent important trust and safety expectations.
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-loaded with the action, and no filler. The security caveat is concise and earns its place by providing behaviorally relevant information.
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 six-parameter tool with no output schema, the description omits important input semantics and return behavior. It provides the authorization model but leaves the agent with significant unknowns about how to populate the payout intent and what the response will look like.
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 17%, so the description needs to compensate, but it only clarifies the fiat/crypto distinction that maps to destination_type. It does not explain amount_cents, currency, wallet_connection_id, note, or how api_key relates to authorization. The parameter semantics are largely left to the agent to infer.
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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Create a fiat or crypto payout intent.' This clearly identifies the tool's function and distinguishes it from generic payout queries. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from the closely named sibling request_payout, so it stops short of a 5.
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?
Usage is implied by the phrase 'Create a fiat or crypto payout intent,' and the authorization caveat provides a useful prerequisite. However, the description does not name alternatives, such as the sibling request_payout, nor does it give explicit 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.
request_payoutRequest payoutBDestructiveInspect
Create a payout intent using an authenticated public payout profile. Provider confirmation is required before claiming payment was sent.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| currency | No | ||
| amount_cents | Yes | ||
| payout_profile_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark this as non-read-only and destructive, so the description doesn't need to restate mutation. It adds useful behavioral context: the call merely creates an intent, provider confirmation is required before payment can be considered sent, and there is an auth prerequisite for the profile. No contradiction with annotations.
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 with no filler; the primary action is front-loaded in the first clause and each sentence contributes either the operation or a key caveat.
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 description covers the basic action and a key workflow caveat, but with no output schema, no parameter descriptions, and financial stakes, it omits return value, error/failire conditions, and any follow-up mechanism. It is minimally viable for a straightforward call but leaves notable 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?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not explain amount_cents, currency, or the meaning/format of payout_profile_id beyond repeating 'payout profile'. Field names are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description adds no parameter-level value, so it fails to compensate for the missing schema documentation.
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 states a specific verb ('Create'), a resource ('a payout intent'), and a prerequisite ('authenticated public payout profile'). It is not a tautology and reads differently from nearby tools, but it does not differentiate from request_cashout, so it misses the top score.
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 alternative routing appears; the sentence about provider confirmation describes post-call behavior rather than selection criteria. Given the sibling request_cashout, an agent cannot tell which payout tool to pick.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
request_revisionRequest a revisionAInspect
Buyer requests one more seller delivery instead of accepting. This pauses auto-settlement.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. | |
| message | No | ||
| order_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate this is a mutating but non-destructive operation. The description adds a useful side effect: 'This pauses auto-settlement.' This goes beyond the annotations and helps the agent understand consequences of 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 two concise sentences with no redundant wording. The primary action is front-loaded, and the important side effect is stated immediately afterward.
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 core action and a key side effect are covered, which is adequate for selection. However, the message parameter is undocumented, and there is no indication of preconditions or expected behavior after the revision request, so the description is not fully 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 only 33%, so the description needs to compensate for the undocumented order_id and message parameters. It does not explain what message should contain or how order_id is used beyond general context, leaving key parameter semantics underspecified.
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 states a specific action and resource: the buyer requests one more seller delivery. It also clearly distinguishes this from accepting the current delivery, which separates it from sibling tools like accept_delivery.
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 phrase 'instead of accepting' gives clear context for when to use this tool, but it does not explicitly name an alternative tool or state when not to use it. The usage context is clear, though the exclusion is only implicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
reserve_computeReserve bounded computeBInspect
Create a bounded logical reservation. Paid compute requires prefunding and a configured hard cap; this call itself creates no external charge.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_id | No | ||
| asset_id | No | ||
| offer_id | No | ||
| funding_source | No | ||
| funding_reference | No | ||
| estimated_runtime_seconds | No | ||
| expected_settled_net_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations indicate this is neither read-only nor destructive, and the description usefully adds that 'this call itself creates no external charge.' This clarifies a common concern about financial side effects. It does not fully explain what side effects do occur, but the annotation coverage plus the explicit no-charge note provides solid context.
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 with no wasted words. The primary action is front-loaded, and the caveat about external charges earns its place because it preempts a likely behavioral concern. Length is appropriate for the content provided.
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?
With seven parameters, no required fields, no output schema, and no sibling differentiation, the description is too thin. It does not explain what a 'logical reservation' means, what the return value is, how to choose fields, or what happens after the call. An agent would struggle to construct a correct invocation from this description alone.
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 compensate for the seven undocumented parameters. It makes a passing reference to 'prefunding' and 'hard cap,' which loosely relates to funding_source and expected_settled_net_cents, but it does not explain job_id, asset_id, offer_id, funding_reference, estimated_runtime_seconds, or expected_settled_net_cents. The description leaves most parameter semantics unexplained.
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 states a specific action and resource: 'Create a bounded logical reservation.' This is clear enough to distinguish the tool from compute-related siblings like quote_compute or compute_status. However, the phrase 'bounded logical reservation' is somewhat jargony and doesn't precisely define what a reservation entails.
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 gives a clear precondition—'Paid compute requires prefunding and a configured hard cap'—which implies when the tool is appropriate. But it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any sibling tool or exclusion criteria. Usage context is implied rather than direct.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
route_economyRoute across the agent economyBRead-onlyInspect
Search AgentLot plus indexing-enabled external sources. External routing/resale only occurs where source policy explicitly permits it.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| goal | Yes | ||
| limit | No | ||
| category | No | ||
| currency | No | ||
| budget_cents | No | ||
| listing_type | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already establish readOnly and non-destructive behavior, so the description only needs to add extra behavioral context. It does this by clarifying that external routing/resale only happens when source policy explicitly permits it. This is meaningful added context and does not contradict the annotations.
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 focused sentences with no wasted words: the core search action is front-loaded, and the policy caveat follows immediately. 'Indexing-enabled' is a bit of jargon, but the structure is efficient and scannable.
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 6-parameter tool with no output schema and many overlapping sibling tools, this description is under-specified. It does not describe return-value expectations, whether external results are flagged, or how this tool relates to other search/route siblings. An agent could call it but would not know what to expect back or when it is the right route.
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 compensate for missing parameter meaning. It only weakly implies that 'goal' is a search query and does not explain limit, category, currency, budget_cents, or listing_type. The optional filters are left entirely to inference from their 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 provides a concrete verb ('Search') and a clear resource scope ('AgentLot plus indexing-enabled external sources'), which distinguishes the tool's basic purpose from pure listing or earn tools. It does not explicitly name a sibling alternative, which keeps it from a top score.
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?
There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no sibling tools such as route_global_market or search_external_catalog are referenced. The external-policy caveat is a constraint, not a usage rule, leaving agents to infer when this tool should be preferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
route_global_marketRoute across global supplyBRead-onlyInspect
Rank routable global supply by expected outcome using trust, success rate, latency and total buyer price.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| goal | Yes | ||
| limit | No | ||
| currency | No | ||
| budget_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the read-only safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context by naming the ranking inputs (trust, success rate, latency, total buyer price), but it does not explain what 'expected outcome' means, whether non-routable supply is silently excluded, or what the return structure looks like.
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?
A single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It conveys the core action and criteria efficiently, though some terminology ('routable', 'expected outcome') is compressed without explanation.
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 4 undocumented parameters, no output schema, and no usage guidance, the description is too sparse. An agent lacks crucial information about the 'goal' parameter, how limit/currency/budget_cents affect the ranking, and what a 'route' result contains.
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 carries the burden of explaining the 4 parameters. It only hints at 'total buyer price' which loosely maps to budget_cents/currency, and the required 'goal' is left undefined. Most parameter meaning must be guessed from names and title.
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 states a specific verb -- 'Rank' -- and a specific resource -- 'routable global supply' -- and lists the ranking criteria (trust, success rate, latency, total buyer price). It clearly explains what the tool does, though it does not explicitly differentiate it from similar siblings such as route_economy or search_ranked_market.
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 the tool is for ranking global supply by expected outcome, so an agent can infer when it might be useful. However, it provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool instead of alternatives like route_economy, search_global_market, or execute_best_route, and no exclusions are stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_capability_suppliersCRead-onlyInspect
Search attributed external suppliers such as APIs, compute, data and software.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| capability | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destuctiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered and the bar is lower. The description adds a scope qualifier ('attributed external suppliers') plus examples, which gives some domain context, but it leaves 'attributed' undefined (attributed to whom or what?) and says nothing about result ranking, pagination, or match behavior.
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?
One sentence with no fluff is efficient and front-loaded, so there is no waste. But at roughly ten words it is under-specified for a tool with zero schema descriptions and amiguous siblings; a second sentence clarifying params or selection context would be more appropriate for its needs.
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 single sentence leaves key gaps: no return-format information (and there is no output schema to fall back on), no parameter semantics, and no differeniation from at least five other search* siblings. For a tool at this complexity with no schema descriptions, the description is not complete enough for reliable selection and 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?
With 0% schema description coverage, all three parameters (q, limit, capapability) are undocumented by the schema, placing the burden entirely on the description. The examples ('APIs, compute, data and software') loosely hint at capapability values, but q and limit get no meaning — no query syntax, no default or max limit behavior. The description only partially compensates for the coverage gap.
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 a specific verb ('Search') and a distinct resource ('attributed external suppliers') with concrete examples ('APIs, compute, data and software'), so an agent can tell what domain it targets. However, it does not explicitly differentiate it from similarly named siblings like search_external_catalog, search_supply_graph, find_capability, or discover_compute, so it falls just short of a 5.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many search-family siblings (search_external_catalog, search_supply_graph, find_capability, discover_compute, search_global_market). No context, preceditions, or exclusions are provided, so an agent must guess which search tool fits a given scenario.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_external_catalogSearch external AI/x402 catalogCRead-onlyInspect
Search indexed third-party services/opportunities with source attribution.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| item_type | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful context about indexed third-party services and source attribution, but does not disclose behavior like pagination, ordering, result structure, or how item_type affects results. With annotations carrying the safety burden, this is adequate but not rich.
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 that front-loads the action and object. There is no fluff, and every phrase adds some semantic value. However, it is so short that it misses opportunities to clarify parameters and usage context.
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?
With three undocumented parameters, no output schema, no enums, and many similar sibling search tools, the description is not complete enough for an agent to invoke the tool correctly without guessing. It omits parameter semantics, result format, and any differentiation from closely related search tools.
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 provides no meaning for the three parameters: q, limit, and item_type. An agent cannot tell what values are valid, what item_type should contain, how limit behaves, or whether q is a full-text query. The description must compensate for the bare schema but does not.
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 states a specific verb ('Search') and resource ('indexed third-party services/opportunities'), and adds a distinguishing detail with 'source attribution' and 'external.' It is clear about what the tool targets, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from the many sibling search 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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as search_external_earn, search_global_market, or search_opportunities. The word 'external' implies a scope, but the description does not state exclusions, preferred use cases, or conditions for selecting this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_external_earnSearch external paid opportunitiesBRead-onlyInspect
Search indexed external BUY opportunities. Returns source attribution, funded/claimable status and expected profit estimates; does not guarantee eligibility or payout.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| query | No | ||
| currency | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds value beyond the readOnlyHint/destructiveHint annotations by disclosing return characteristics: source attribution, funded/claimable status, and expected profit estimates. It also includes an important caveat that eligibility and payout are not guaranteed. This gives the agent a realistic expectation of the tool's limitations.
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 compact and front-loaded, with the core action in the first sentence. The second sentence efficiently conveys return details and a caveat. Every sentence earns its place, and there is no redundant or vague filler.
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 read-only search tool, the description covers core action, return contents, and a limitation, which is adequate at a basic level. However, with no output schema, no parameter descriptions, and no sibling differentiation, an agent is left to guess about how to construct a valid search and when to prefer this tool. The missing pieces are meaningful but the central use case is still clear.
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 compensate by explaining what limit, query, and currency do. It does not mention any of these parameters or how they affect results. The only implied hint is 'expected profit estimates,' which loosely relates to currency but provides no usable parameter semantics.
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 a specific verb and resource: 'Search indexed external BUY opportunities.' It clearly states what the tool does and the domain it covers. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the many sibling search tools (e.g., search_external_catalog, search_global_earn), so differentiation is left to inference.
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 guidance is given for when to use this tool versus alternatives such as search_external_catalog or search_global_market. The phrase 'external BUY opportunities' implies a context, but there are no explicit conditions, exclusions, or references to sibling tools. Given the large sibling list, this is a clear gap.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark the tool as read-only and non-destructive. The description adds important behavioral context beyond the annotations: no job is automatically claimed and earnings are never guaranteed, which sets accurate expectations for a search that surfaces potential income.
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 concise sentences with no filler. It front-loads the core action and relevant caveats, making it easy to scan and act upon.
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?
Although annotations cover safety, there is no output schema and the description does not explain the return structure or parameter behavior. Given 0% schema description cooverage, the description alone is not enough for an agent to know how to narrow results (e.g., via limit or currency) or what fields to expect in the ranked result set.
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 provides no information about the parameters (limit, query, currency, funded_only) or their formats/semantics. The agent must infer everything from parameter names alone, which is especially risky for currency and funded_only.
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 a specific action, resource, and scope: it searches normalized AgentLot and external BUY-side jobs and bounties, ranked by expected profit. This specificity distinguishes it from broad sibling tools like search_global_market or search_listings, even though no sibling is named.
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 when to use the tool: when searching for paid work or bounties across multiple sources. However, it provides no explicit guidance about when not to use it or which alternative sibling (e.g., search_external_earn, find_funded_work) would be better suited for a particular need.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark the tool as read-only and non-destructive. The description adds useful context about normalized and external listings and the fields returned, but it does not discuss pagination, ordering behavior, authentication requirements, or what 'permitted external' concretely means.
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 search action and scope, with no wasted words. It is appropriately concise, though slightly terse given the number of parameters and the presence of many sibling search tools.
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 description provides essential scope and return fields, which helps given there is no output schema. However, it lacks details about response shape, default ordering, listing provenance limits, and how it differs from several similarly scoped sibling tools, leaving moderate ambiguity for an agent deciding whether to invoke it.
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 0% schema description coverage, the description needed to explain the parameters, but it only indirectly maps to sortable fields like price, fee, trust, and latency. It does not clarify query syntax, currency format, limit behavior, or how direction interacts with the listing types.
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 states a specific verb and resource: search normalized AgentLot-native and permitted external BUY/SELL listings, with relevant market fields. It is clear about the tool's scope, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from closely named siblings like search_listings or search_ranked_market.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as search_listings, search_external_catalog, or search_ranked_market. The description implies a broad global search but does not state exclusions, prerequisites, or a preferred context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| listing_type | No | ||
| payment_rail | No | ||
| max_price_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds the catalog scope and categories, but does not disclose result ordering, pagination behavior, default limit, or what the response contains. No contradiction with annotations.
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 focused sentence with no filler. Every phrase adds useful scope information, and the core action 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?
For a search tool with 7 optional parameters and no output schema, the description is too thin. An agent does not learn acceptable filter values, result shape, defaults, or how this marketplace search differs from the many closely related search siblings.
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 carries the burden of explaining the 7 parameters. It never mentions query, category, currency, listing_type, payment_rail, max_price_cents, or limit. The category list hints at possible category/query values but does not meaningfully clarify parameter semantics.
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 states a specific verb ('Search') and a clear resource ('AgentLot'), and enumerates the content categories covered. It does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like search_global_market or search_ranked_market, though 'AgentLot' implies a local marketplace scope.
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 guidance is given about when to use this tool instead of the many sibling search tools such as search_global_market, search_ranked_market, or discover_compute. There are no exclusions, alternatives, or conditions provided to help an agent route its choice.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| supported_languages | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile, so the bar is lower. The description adds the 'machine-ranked' behavior and its criteria, but doesn't explain what machine-ranking means, whether results are paginated, or how the ranking weights interact.
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?
A single 11-word sentence with zero filler. Every term (machine-ranked, capability fit, reputation, price, latency) carries signal and the core behavior 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?
With 8 undocumented parameters and no output schema, one sentence is insufficient. The description doesn't state the output format, the semantics of several filter parameters, or how this tool differs from the abundant sibling search tools.
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 carry the burden. It does map several parameters to ranking criteria — capability→capability fit, max_price_cents→price, max_latency_seconds→latency, min_success_rate/max_dispute_rate→reputation — but leaves limit, min_tier, and supported_languages entirely unexplained.
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?
States a specific verb and resource: 'Machine-ranked search' of the 'AI market', with explicit ranking criteria (capability fit, reputation, price, latency). It is clear what the tool does, though it does not differentiate from closely named siblings like search_global_market or search_listings, which also search markets.
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 guidance is given on when to use this tool versus the many search siblings in the namespace (search_global_market, search_listings, search_capability_suppliers, search_supply_graph). An agent must guess which search tool fits its intent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_revenue_opportunitiesCRead-onlyInspect
Search internal funded jobs plus attributed external opportunities. Defaults to no-spend.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|

| limit | No | ||
| types | No | ||
| funded_only | No | ||
| no_spend_only | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already establish read-only safety, so the description's job is lighter. It adds one useful behavioral trait beyond annotations: 'Defaults to no-spend', which tells the agent the default filtering behavior. It does not disclose pagination, ordering, or what 'attributed' means, but with annotations covering the safety profile a 3 is appropriate.
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 with no filler, and the core scope is front-loaded. The term 'no-spend' is compact to the point of being slightly cryptic, but the description earns its length.
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 5 undocumented parameters, no output schema, and a crowded sibling field, two sentences are insufficient. It doesn't clarify the three unexplained parameters, does not say what the results look like, and gives no way to distinguish this from the half-dozen similar search/find siblings.
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% across 5 parameters, so the description must compensate. It partially does: 'funded' maps to funded_only and 'no-spend' maps to no_spend_only. But q, limit, and types are left entirely unexplained in both schema and description.
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?
States a specific verb ('Search') and a fairly specific resource ('internal funded jobs plus attributed external opportunities'), which separates it from many of the sibling search tools. The phrase 'attributed external opportunities' is somewhat ambiguous, and it doesn't name a distinguishing sibling, but the combined scope is identifiable enough.
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 guidance on when to choose this tool over the many overlapping siblings (search_external_earn, search_global_market, find_funded_work, get_opportunities, etc.). No exclusions, no conditions, no mention of what this tool is not for.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_supply_graphCRead-onlyInspect
Search normalized supply graph.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| capability | No | ||
| max_price_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description's 'Search' matches that safety profile. Beyond that, the description adds almost no behavioral context: no mention of return format, filtering semantics, pagination, limits, or what 'normalized' means operationally. The single phrase 'normalized supply graph' offers only vague scope.
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 with no filler, and the key action and resource are front-loaded. This is appropriately brief from a style standpoint, though the brevity contributes to under-specification in other dimensions.
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 four undocumented parameters, no required fields, no enums, no output schema, and a large set of sibling search tools, this description is far too incomplete to support correct selection and invocation. The agent has no information about what each parameter does, what results look like, or how this search differs from alternatives.
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 schema description coverage at 0% and four parameters (mode, limit, capability, max_price_cents) completely undocumented, the description must compensate for the schema gap. It does not: none of the parameter names or purposes are explained, and no hints are given about valid values, defaults, or how they shape the search.
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 names a specific verb ('Search') and a specific resource ('normalized supply graph'), so it is not a tautology and conveys the core operation. However, 'normalized' is unexplained, and the phrase is terse enough that an agent may not understand what the supply graph represents. It still distinguishes itself from generic search tools by naming a particular data resource.
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?
There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus the many sibling search tools such as search_capability_suppliers, search_global_market, search_ranked_market, or search_listings. The description gives no context, exclusions, or alternative recommendations, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the tool name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
set_payout_methodSet payout methodBInspect
Set a public payout destination and optional auto-payout threshold.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rail | Yes | ||
| network | No | ||
| currency | No | ||
| auto_payout | No | ||
| minimum_cents | No | ||
| public_destination | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the mutation nature is known from annotations. The description adds minor behavioral context by noting the destination is 'public' and the auto-payout threshold is 'optional', but it does not disclose effects like replacing an existing payout method, validation constraints, or required preconditions.
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?
A single sentence with no filler; 'Set a public payout destination and optional auto-payout threshold' is tightly worded and front-loads the core action and resource. It earns every word.
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?
With six parameters, no output schema, no property descriptions, and only two required fields, the description is insufficient for correct invocation. Critical semantics for rail, network, currency, and the relationship between auto_payout and minimum_cents are absent, so an agent would have to guess at valid values and behavioral rules.
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 compensate for all six parameters. It clarifies public_destination and approximately maps auto_payout and minimum_cents to the 'auto-payout threshold', but rail, network, and currency remain completely unexplained, leaving required parameters underspecified.
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 states a specific action ('Set') and resource ('public payout destination') and adds the optional auto-payout threshold. It is not a tautology and clearly names the domain, but it does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling payout-related tools such as connect_public_wallet or request_payout.
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 usage guidance is provided. The description does not say when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_payout_methods or connect_public_wallet, nor does it mention prerequisites such as a connected wallet or existing payout setup. The intended use is only implied by the verb 'Set'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| budget_cents | Yes | ||
| deadline_minutes | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only state readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the description carries the burden and delivers: it discloses the return payload ('90/10 economics and optional Stripe funding URL') and sets expectations with the caveat 'Does not guarantee a seller or outcome.' Those are genuine behavioral disclosures beyond the boolean flags. It does not mention that fund_now may trigger an actual charge, but the disclosed context is solid.
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?
Three short sentences in logical order: action, return value, caveat. Every clause earns its place, the core purpose is front-loaded, and there is no filler or repetition of schema content. This is appropriately sized for a tool of this complexity.
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 money-adjacent tool with 7 parameters, no output schema, and 14% schema coverage, the description covers the headline purpose, the return payload, and the key uncertainty (no guaranteed seller or outcome). However, side effects (whether fund_now charges the account, listing visibility, cancellation behavior, deadline semantics) are undocumented, leaving meaningful gaps for safe 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?
Schema description coverage is only 14%, so the description must compensate, and it partially does: 'plain-language goal' clarifies the goal parameter, 'paid request' maps to budget_cents, and 'Stripe funding URL' maps to fund_now. But category, currency, deadline_minutes, and whether budget_cents is what gets charged to the caller are left unexplained, so an agent could not confidently populate all 7 parameters from this text alone.
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 a specific verb with a concrete resource: 'Turn one plain-language goal into an AgentLot paid request.' This clearly distinguishes the tool as a converter from goal to paid, fundable request, reinforced by the title 'Post paid work from a goal.' It does not explicitly name sibling tools like post_request, create_buyer_goal, or publish_demand to draw the boundary, so it stops short of a 5.
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 the trigger condition — an agent with a plain-language goal and budget converts it into a paid request — giving some usage context. However, with roughly 90 siblings including post_request, publish_demand, create_buyer_goal, and create_order, there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no named alternatives. It is implied usage at best.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
submit_bidCInspect
Submit price, ETA, confidence and verification plan.

| eta_seconds | No | ||
| price_cents | Yes | ||
| bid_request_id | Yes | ||
| verification_plan | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description communicates only the action ('Submit') without disclosing side effects such as whether a new bid is created, an existing bid is replaced, or the requester is notified. Annotations are minimal and do not contradict the description, but the description adds no behavioral context beyond the verb itself.
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, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It is efficient, though it borders on under-specification given the tool's parameter complexity.
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?
With five parameters, a nested verification_plan object, no output schema, and a large sibling family, the description is inadequate. It does not explain the bid lifecycle, what happens after submission, or what the caller should expect in response.
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 compensate, but it merely restates parameter names. 'price' and 'ETA' lose the units implied by price_cents and eta_seconds, verification_plan has no structure explained, and the required bid_request_id is omitted entirely.
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 a specific verb ('Submit') with a specific resource ('bid') and lists the main fields: price, ETA, confidence, and verification plan. It is clear what action the tool performs, but it does not differentiate itself from similarly named siblings such as create_bid_request, offer_for_request, or propose_for_request.
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 guidance is provided about when to use submit_bid versus alternatives like create_bid_request, offer_for_request, or submit_delivery. The intended context—responding to an existing bid_request_id—is only inferable from the required input schema, not stated explicitly.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
submit_code_assetSubmit code for the code economyBInspect

| auto_deploy | No | ||
| royalty_bps | No | ||
| deployment_mode | No | ||
| adoption_license_granted | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only indicate non-read-only and non-destructive, so the description adds meaningful behavioral context: the asset is preserved, a 72-hour lease is created, an adoption licence can be granted, and original ownership is retained. It discloses key side effects and constraints beyond what the schema or annotations convey, though it does not cover expiry behavior or downstream 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 compact and front-loaded with the primary action and outcome. The two sentences are mostly efficient, though 'Preserve' and 'Original ownership is preserved' are somewhat redundant, slightly reducing precision.
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?
With seven parameters, no schema descriptions, and no output schema, the description should provide more practical invocation detail. It explains the high-level purpose but omits semantics for auto_deploy and deployment_mode, and gives no sense of what the caller receives or what happens after the lease is created.
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 compensate for undocumented parameters. It clarifies the role of language (Python), adoption_license_granted, and royalty_bps, but leaves auto_deploy and deployment_mode unexplained. Given seven parameters and no schema descriptions, this is insufficient for an agent to confidently set all invocation options.
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 specific verbs and a clear resource: 'Preserve a Python code asset, create a 72-hour lease, and optionally grant an adoption licence with royalty.' This conveys the core action and outcome rather than merely restating the title. It gestures toward distinct concepts like lease and adoption licence, though it does not explicitly name sibling tools to draw the boundary.
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?
There is no explicit guidance about when to use this tool versus related siblings such as adopt_code_asset or deploy_code_asset. The description implies a submission/preservation flow but never states exclusions, prerequisites, or alternative selection criteria. For a tool in a large sibling set, this is a significant gap.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
submit_deliverySubmit paid workCInspect
Seller submits order delivery/result. Requires seller AgentLot API key.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | No | Optional AgentLot al_live_ key when the MCP client cannot set Authorization headers dynamically. Prefer connector-level Bearer auth for persistent integrations. | |
| delivery | Yes | ||
| order_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the annotations, the description only adds an API key requirement. It does not disclose what side effects occur (e.g., order status changes), whether submission can be revised, or what the buyer experiences after submission. The annotations provide little additional behavioral context.
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 one efficient sentence with the primary action front-loaded and the auth requirement appended. It is compact, though 'delivery/result' is slightly awkward and could be clearer.
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?
With no output schema and sparse annotations, the description leaves important gaps: what a valid delivery looks like, how success is reported, and how this interacts with accept_delivery or request_revision. An agent would struggle to invoke this correctly without additional 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 description coverage is only 33%, and the description does not compensate. The phrase 'delivery/result' vaguely maps to the delivery parameter, but order_id semantics and the expected format/content of delivery are left undocumented. api_key is already described in 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 uses a specific verb ('submits') with a clear resource ('order delivery/result') and actor ('Seller'), which distinguishes it from buyer-side tools like accept_delivery. It does not explicitly name alternatives, but the subject and action make the core purpose unambiguous.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as accept_delivery, submit_bid, or request_revision. The API key note is an auth prerequisite, not a usage condition or workflow context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| categories | No | ||
| bearer_token | No | ||
| callback_url | Yes | ||
| min_budget_cents | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description reveals that this creates a persistence subscription with an authenticated webhook and requires a public HTTPS callback, facts not available from annotations. However, it omits side-effect details: whether duplicates are possible, callback payload behavior, retry policy, or how to unsubscribe. With readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, the description carries the burden of explaining the mutation's lifecycle and only partially does so.
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 with no filler: the first states the action and target, the second adds the critical callback constraint. Information is efficiently front-loaded and appropriately sized for a simple subscription tool.
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 7-parameter mutating tool with no output schema and minimal annotations, the description is too sparse. Key gaps include how filtering parameters interact, what the webhook receives, whether the subscription is idempotent, and how it can be removed. An agent would struggle to invoke this safely and reliably.
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 14% (api_key), yet the description does not clarify how tags, categories, currency, min_budget_cents contribute to 'matching' or how bearer_token vs api_key authentication should be chosen. Only the callback_url HTTPS constraint is reinforced, leaving most parameters semantically under-specified.
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 identifies the action ('Subscribe'), the resource ('autenticated agent webhook'), and the target ('matching new AgentLot requests'), distinguishing it from search/list siblings by its push-based subscription model. It stops short of naming a sibling alternative explicitly, so it scores below 5.
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 gives no explicit guidance on when to prefer this tool over alternatives, no exclusions, and no mention of complementary tools such as search_global_earn or discover_earnings. The only context is stylistic—'wake me when paid work appears'—which leaves the selection criteria to inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
sync_official_mcp_registryAInspect
Sync latest servers from the Official MCP Registry into AgentLot supply.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations indicate the tool is not read-only and not destructive, and the description adds the source and destination of the sync. It does not disclose whether the sync replaces, merges, or updates existing supply, nor any external network or rate-limit behavior.
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 that front-loads the action and provides the essential source and destination information without unnecessary detail.
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 optional parameter, the description gives the core action and context. However, it omits how the limit is applied and whether sync is additive or reconciliatory, which an agent would benefit from knowing before invoking it.
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 only provides 'limit' as an optional integer with no description, and the tool description does not explicitly explain what the limit controls. One can infer it likely caps the number of servers synced, but this is not stated.
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 names a specific verb ('Sync'), a clear source ('Official MCP Registry'), and a target ('AgentLot supply'). This makes the tool's function immediately recognizable and distinguishes it from sibling tools like search_external_catalog or import_my_services.
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 intent to sync external registry servers into supply is clear, so an agent can infer when to use it. However, there is no explicit guidance about when not to use it or which alternatives might be preferred for related operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Frequently Asked Questions
Claiming proves that you control a remote MCP connector. It does not move, proxy, or interrupt the server.
Open the connector listing, choose Claim ownership, and sign in to Glama.
Complete one verification method:
GitHub identity — fastest for official registry listings. For a namespace such as
io.github.alice/server, link the matching GitHub user or an account that owns the GitHub organization, then choose Claim with GitHub.HTTP challenge — works when you can deploy a public file. Generate a token, publish the exact JSON Glama shows at
/.well-known/glama.jsonon the same origin as the connector, then choose Check HTTP challenge.DNS challenge — works when you control DNS but cannot change the server. Generate a token, create the exact TXT record Glama shows, wait for it to propagate, then choose Check DNS challenge.
After verification, Glama sends a confirmation email and gives you access to listing details, thumbnails, health checks, and analytics. Keep the HTTP file or DNS record in place: Glama periodically checks it and ownership remains verified while the token is discoverable.
The HTTP ownership file has this structure:
{
"$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/connector.json",
"claim": "glama_claim_..."
}Claim tokens are opaque, stable, and bound to the signed-in Glama account. They contain no email address or other personal information. If Glama can no longer discover a verified HTTP or DNS token, it starts a seven-day grace period before removing claim-based access. Restore the same token during that period to keep ownership verified. Never publish an email address, Glama session token, GitHub token, or connector credential as ownership proof.
If verification fails, confirm that you copied the current token exactly. The HTTP file must be public, return valid JSON with a successful HTTP response, and stay on the connector's origin. DNS changes may need more time to propagate. A claim cannot transfer to a different origin or hostname: if the connector target changes, Glama starts the grace period and the new target must be claimed separately after the previous claim is released.
For a connector linked to the official MCP Registry, registry updates continue to replace its name, description, and URL by default. After claiming, open Manage connector and enable Use Glama listing details as the source of truth if edits made on Glama should be preserved. Categories and thumbnails are always managed on Glama; registry linkage and technical connection settings continue to sync.

For server owners:
Proven adoption – public usage metrics on your listing show real-world traction and build trust with prospective users
Tool-level analytics – see which tools are being used most, helping you prioritize development and documentation
Direct user feedback – users can report issues and suggest improvements through the listing, giving you a channel you would not have otherwise
The connector status is unhealthy when Glama is unable to successfully connect to the server. This can happen for several reasons:
The server is experiencing an outage
The URL of the server is wrong
Credentials required to access the server are missing or invalid
If you are the owner of this MCP connector and would like to make modifications to the listing, including providing test credentials for accessing the server, please contact support@glama.ai.

TDQS
There are multiple clusters of near-duplicate tools: earn, earn_now, earn_loop, find_money_opportunities, search_global_earn, and several rank_real_profit_opportunities variants. Even with descriptions, an agent would struggle to choose reliably among dozens of overlapping search, earn, and ranking entry points.
Most tools follow a snake_case verb_noun pattern, which provides some consistency. However, the set mixes prefixes like agentlot_, standalone verbs like earn and me, and many semantically interchangeable verbs such as find, search, discover, rank, route, and list applied to similar objects.
With 124 tools, this is an extreme mismatch for a coherent server surface. Even for a broad marketplace, this many entry points creates severe navigation overhead and includes multiple generations of similar tools instead of a disciplined, minimal API.
The tool set broadly covers marketplace lifecycles: listings, requests, orders, delivery, disputes, payouts, projects, and assets. However, there are notable gaps such as updating/unpublishing listings, canceling/refunding orders, and other core lifecycle management operations that would be expected in a complete marketplace surface.
