Agent Data Tools: Utilities

Generate UUIDs

uuid

Generate 1 to 100 random version-4 UUIDs from a cryptographic random source. Use for IDs, idempotency keys and test data. Example: count=3. Price $0.003/call via x402 USDC or a card key (/credits), first 25 free; failed calls free. Reads or computes only; not marked read-only because each call is charged.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing pricing ($0.003/call via x402 USDC or card key), a free tier of 25, that failed calls are free, and explains the non-obvious readOnlyHint=false (each call is charged). The crypto-source detail is useful 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with purpose and range before use cases, example, and billing. Four sentences with little waste, though the pricing sentence is long and could be tightened.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a single-parameter generator with no output schema, the description covers purpose, range, entropy guarantee, use cases, and cost model — everything an agent needs to call it correctly.

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 schema already documents the count range and default, so the description's restatement of '1 to 100' and 'count=3' example add only marginal value. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema carries the parameter semantics.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Generate ... version-4 UUIDs'), the exact range (1-100), and the entropy source (cryptographic random). An agent can immediately distinguish this from random_number, random_password, and other randomness siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives concrete use cases ('IDs, idempotency keys and test data') and a worked example, which is enough context to select it correctly. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, so it stops short of a 5.

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