TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It discloses authentication requirements, payment rails and cost, and the default-all-chains behavior. This is meaningful operational context beyond the schema. It does not mention rate limits, failure semantics, or side effects, but for a read-only price lookup the key behaviors are covered.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is fairly concise at two sentences, but the first sentence is dense with payment-rail details (b402, USDT/USDC/USD1/U, BNB Smart Chain, x402/Base) that could be trimmed or moved to a payment note. 'One cent per call' and 'one cent market check' are redundant. Still, the key usage instructions are present and front-loaded.

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 tool with one optional parameter and an output schema, the description covers the essential contextual needs: authentication, cost, and default behavior. It doesn't explain what happens with invalid chains or payment failures, but those are edge cases. The auth/payment complexity is unusually well documented, making this adequate for an agent to call correctly.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, and the only parameter 'chain' has no description in the schema. The description compensates well by stating 'Omit chain for all nine', which clarifies both optionality and the default behavior. It doesn't spell out that the enum defines the nine chains, but the schema already provides that. Good compensation for a single simple parameter.

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?

The description states the tool returns 'Live price for every chain in one call' and clarifies the optional chain parameter, so the purpose is clear. It doesn't explicitly name a sibling alternative, but the resource (prices) and behavior are identifiable. Slightly marred by marketing phrasing ('one cent market check'), but still specific.

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 gives concrete usage guidance: how to authenticate (bearer token), how to pay per call (Binance b402, x402), and the default behavior when omitting chain. However, it provides no guidance on when to choose this tool over siblings like candles or market_state, and no exclusions. The 'omit chain for all nine' is helpful but alternatives are not addressed.

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