Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dateNoDate in YYYY-MM-DD format. Omit for latest.
tickerYesAsset ticker symbol. IMPORTANT: all crypto tickers MUST be suffixed with "-USD" — e.g. BTC-USD, ETH-USD, SOL-USD. Bare symbols like "BTC" will not match and will return an empty / 404 response.
version_infoNoWhen true, include version metadata in the response: both version_num (the revision number) and version_label (a human-readable label like "eod_utc" for the initial end-of-day build, or "revised" when a later-indexed podcast triggered a regeneration). When false (the default), neither field is included. Note: the snapshot generation "status" field is ALWAYS returned regardless of this flag.
snapshot_typeNoAsset universe to draw the snapshot from. Currently only "crypto" is available; "tradfi" is reserved for a future release. Defaults to "crypto".crypto
version_numberNoWhich revision of the snapshot to return. Each snapshot date can be re-generated multiple times (version 1, 2, 3, …). Use -1 (the default) to always get the latest authoritative version (is_latest = true). If you request a specific version that does not exist for the given date + snapshot_type, the latest version is returned instead.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It lists return metrics and some scales (0-1, 0-10), but does not mention behavior such as lazy version resolution, empty responses for invalid tickers, or the always-returned status field. Those details live only in the parameter schema, not the main description.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is a single dense sentence that front-loads the primary purpose ('Get detailed daily insights snapshot for a specific crypto asset') and then lists key metrics. It is verbose but efficient, avoiding fluff. The list format could be more scannable, but every element adds information.

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

Completeness4/5

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

There is no output schema, so the description must convey return contents. It does this well by itemizing the snapshot's fields with scales for some metrics. However, it lacks high-level context about response structure or edge cases (e.g., fallback to latest version), which are deferred to the schema. For a tool with moderate complexity, this is mostly adequate but not exhaustive.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all parameters. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond the output metrics, and does not discuss the 'ticker' suffix requirement or version parameters. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema carries the parameter documentation burden.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool returns 'detailed daily insights snapshot for a specific crypto asset' and enumerates specific metrics (α-index, α-pulse, episode count, etc.), distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_ticker_history or get_ticker_signals. The verb 'Get' plus resource 'crypto asset snapshot' is specific and unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies use for fetching a comprehensive daily snapshot for a single asset, but provides no explicit guidance on when to choose this over alternatives like get_ticker_history or get_ticker_signals. No exclusions or alternative tool references are mentioned, leaving some ambiguity in a crowded sibling set.

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