Yes or no

yes_no
Read-only

A fair random yes or no, with a cryptographic random source. For quick decisions when the options are equally good. Use to break ties. Price $0.01/call via x402 USDC or a card key (/credits), first 25 free; failed calls free. Reads or computes only and changes nothing; each call is charged, so repeats are not free.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing cost ($0.01/call), the payment routes (x402 USDC or card key via /credits), the 25-call free tier, that failed calls are free, and that repeats are not free — the latter giving concrete meaning to idempotentHint=false. The 'reads or computes only and changes nothing' clause reinforces readOnlyHint rather than contradicting it, so the annotation profile is consistent.

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?

Purpose and decision framing are front-loaded, and the cost/auth caveats are packed into a single trailing clause. There is minor redundancy — 'each call is charged, so repeats are not free' restates the per-call price — and the billing sentence is dense enough that a reader may need a second pass.

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 zero-required-parameter, no-output-schema tool, the description covers purpose, selection context, and the commercially important cost/auth model. It never indicates what an answer actually looks like (a bare yes/no, a structured object the `only` filter implies), which is the one real gap given no output schema exists.

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?

Only one optional parameter and the schema documents it fully (100% coverage) with an example, so the baseline expectation is met without description help. The description mentions no parameter behavior of its own, but there is essentially nothing it could have added that the schema does not already say.

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 verb and resource ('A fair random yes or no, with a cryptographic random source'), which is concrete enough for an agent to know exactly what this returns. It implies but never names the nearest siblings (coin, dice, magic_8_ball), so differentiation is inferential rather than explicit.

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?

'For quick decisions when the options are equally good. Use to break ties' gives a clear situational trigger for use. It stops short of exclusions or naming alternatives (e.g. coin for heads/tails, magic_8_ball for a whimsical answer), so an agent must infer which random-answer sibling to pick.

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