btc_mempool_history

Read-only

Bitcoin mempool over a window: fastest fee, transaction count and size as a sampled series with the window high, low and latest. window in hours, default 24, max 168. Price: 2 cents per call.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

  }
}

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`window`	No	Window in whole hours, 1 to 168, default 24. Example: 6

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`feeLow`	No
`latest`	No
`series`	No
`source`	No
`feeHigh`	No
`samples`	No
`dataGaps`	No	Present only when the window of the answer overlaps a recorded data gap. Figures inside each listed period are incomplete. periods are the recorded gaps (end null while still open); atCall is measured against the window of this call and is left out of meta.contentHash.
`windowHours`	Yes

TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds genuinely non-structured facts: the output is a sampled series (not a full dump) with high/low/latest aggregates, and each call costs 2 cents. Cost disclosure is exactly the kind of behavioral context annotations cannot carry. Minor gap: sampling cadence/resolution is unstated.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three short sentences, front-loaded with what the tool returns before constraints and price. The window default/max sentence partially duplicates the schema, which is the only waste.

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?

For a one-parameter read-only tool with an output schema, the description supplies what structure cannot: sampled-series semantics, aggregate fields, and per-call price. Nothing essential to correct invocation is missing, though sampling resolution and the cheaper/more detailed alternatives are left implicit.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the single parameter already documents 'whole hours, 1 to 168, default 24, example 6'. The description repeats default 24 and max 168 without adding unit, format or edge-case meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the work.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific resource (Bitcoin mempool) with a specific shape: fastest fee, transaction count and size as a sampled series, plus window high/low/latest. An agent knows exactly what it returns. It does not name or distinguish itself from adjacent siblings such as congestion, gas_state or mev_pressure, which keeps it from a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied by the 'over a window' framing (historical/aggregated mempool view) but there is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use statement, and no alternative tool is named. The agent must infer that this is the time-series counterpart to the instantaneous mempool siblings.

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