Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.9/5 across 32 of 32 tools scored. Lowest: 3/5.
Most tools have distinct purposes, with clear separation across domains like finance, healthcare, gems, and YouTube. Some overlap exists between 'alya_ask' and 'web_search' for general queries, but descriptions help differentiate.
Tools use snake_case consistently, but there is inconsistency in the use of the 'alya_' prefix – some tools have it, others don't (e.g., 'batch_calibrate', 'web_search'). Related tools like 'calibrate_decision' and 'batch_calibrate' are not grouped by prefix.
With 32 tools, the count is high but arguably appropriate for a 'hub' serving multiple domains. However, it feels slightly heavy and could be streamlined, especially given overlapping query capabilities.
The tool surface covers major workflows (e.g., YouTube content creation, Polymarket trading, gem appraisal, healthcare checks) with few obvious dead ends. Minor gaps exist, such as lack of a tool to place Polymarket bets directly or edit gem entries.

List, look up, and discover other agents in the Alya Hub catalog. Use this to delegate work to specialised agents.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | No | Required when action=lookup | |
| action | No | list |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only says 'list, look up, discover' without mentioning authentication, side effects, read-only nature, or output format.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no fluff. The first defines function, the second gives a usage hint. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, output schema, or nested objects, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain the difference between list/lookup, the meaning of slug, or what data the tool returns.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (only 'slug' has a minimal description). The tool description adds no extra meaning to the parameters, leaving the agent to infer details about 'action' and 'slug' from the schema alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists, looks up, and discovers agents, with a specific use case of delegation. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on the agent registry, but doesn't explicitly contrast with similar tools like alya_app_directory.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a usage context ('delegate work to specialised agents') but lacks guidance on when not to use it, alternatives, or when to pick between 'list' and 'lookup' actions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
alpaca_paper_statusAInspect
Get the current Alpaca paper-trading status: equity, cash, open positions, last lessons.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description fails to disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits. For a read operation, it should at least imply safety.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the purpose. Every word contributes to understanding the tool's function, with no waste.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no parameters and no output schema, the description provides a reasonable overview by listing returned fields (equity, cash, open positions, last lessons). It is mostly complete, though it could mention that the data is current and non-modifying.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are zero parameters, and the schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter semantics, and the baseline for 0 parameters is 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool gets current Alpaca paper-trading status and lists specific components (equity, cash, open positions, last lessons), distinguishing it from all sibling tools which do not relate to Alpaca trading.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While no sibling tools directly compete, it lacks statements about context or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
alya_app_directoryAInspect
Search Father's curated catalog of business/AI/HR/marketing tools (FindMyAppz). Each entry: slug, name, category, tagline, description, status, view count. Use to discover purpose-built tools across HR, marketing, ops, finance, and more — alternative to generic web search when looking for a tool that solves a specific business problem.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max results (1-50) | |
| category | No | Optional category filter (hr, marketing, finance, ops, ai, etc.) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It describes the tool's functionality and return data but does not state whether it is read-only, any rate limits, or permission requirements. For a search tool, the risk is low, but the lack of any behavioral context is a gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, concise and front-loaded with the main purpose. Every word serves a purpose, with no redundancy or fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (2 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description covers the core use case, return fields, and usage context. It does not mention pagination or sorting, but for a search discovery tool, it is sufficiently complete to guide an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% (both parameters have descriptions). The description adds meaningful value by listing example categories for the 'category' parameter (hr, marketing, finance, ops, ai, etc.), which goes beyond the schema's generic description. The limit parameter is already well-described in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: searching a curated catalog of business tools (FindMyAppz). It specifies the return fields (slug, name, category, etc.) and the use case (discovering purpose-built tools). It also distinguishes itself from generic web search, making it unique among siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use it ('alternative to generic web search for specific business problems') but does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternative sibling tools. There is no guidance on exclusions or prerequisites, so the context is clear but incomplete.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
alya_askAInspect
Ask Alya - the operator agent. Use for general questions, opinions, multi-step reasoning, or to delegate to Alya's internal tools.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| question | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description hints at delegation and multi-step reasoning but lacks specifics on limitations, side effects, or autonomy; partially informative but incomplete.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose and usage, with no superfluous content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of a general agent tool, the description covers delegation and reasoning but omits details about output format or potential delays; mostly complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and the description does not explain the 'question' or 'lang' parameters, adding no meaning beyond the schema itself.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool is a general-purpose agent for questions, opinions, reasoning, and delegation, distinguishing it from sibling tools that are task-specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says 'Use for general questions... or to delegate' which implies using sibling tools for specific tasks, but does not explicitly list when not to use it or name alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
alya_celeb_summaryAInspect
AI-generated intelligence summary on a celebrity from CelebTrack (https://celebtrack.app — Father's celebrity-tracking platform). Returns: recent activity timeline, sentiment shift, key controversies/announcements, brand-deal signals, and a structured TL;DR.

|---|---|---|---|
| celebrityId | Yes | CelebTrack celebrity id (use the 'celebrities' list endpoint or chat ask Alya) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses the data source (CelebTrack's continuously-updated dataset) and pricing, but does not explicitly state that the tool is read-only or mention rate limits or authentication needs.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose and key details. Efficient but could be slightly shorter.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description covers purpose, typical use, pricing, and transparency adequately. It does not mention caching or real-time updates but is largely complete for an agent to decide on invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with a concise description for 'celebrityId'. The tool description adds guidance on how to find the ID (use list endpoint or chat ask Alya), which adds value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it produces an AI-generated intelligence summary on a celebrity, listing specific outputs (activity timeline, sentiment, controversies, brand-deal signals, TL;DR). It distinguishes from siblings by mentioning the source (CelebTrack) and target audience (PR agents, brand safety, casting).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Description identifies specific use cases and states it's premium with pricing. However, it does not explicitly say when to avoid this tool or compare to alternatives like 'alya_ask' or 'web_search'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
alya_clone_chatAInspect
Send a message to an iconic character clone on Sosie (https://sosie.app — Father's celebrity/character voice-clone platform). Returns the clone's in-character reply. Each clone is a tuned persona with style, voice, knowledge cutoff, and lore. Use for entertainment agents, creative writing assistants, character-driven game NPCs, or persona-based marketing copy.

| message | Yes | Your message to the clone (1-2000 chars) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses premium pricing ($0.05/message), that clones are proprietary tuned personas (not generic LLM prompts), and that replies are in-character. However, no side effects or error handling mentioned; with no annotations, this is good but not exhaustive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences: action+result, clone description, use cases+pricing. Every sentence earns its place, front-loaded with core purpose, no wordiness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequate for a simple tool with 2 parameters and no output schema: covers purpose, return value, use cases, and pricing. Lacks error handling or output format details, but still complete enough for understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by linking 'cloneId' to the sibling tool 'alya_iconic_clones' for discovery, providing extra context beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly specifies the verb 'send a message' and resource 'iconic character clone on Sosie', and distinguishes from the sibling tool 'alya_iconic_clones' (discovery) by focusing on the chat interaction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly lists use cases (entertainment agents, creative writing, game NPCs, marketing copy) and implies when to use this over siblings like 'alya_ask' or 'alya_celeb_summary', though lacks explicit non-use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
alya_demands_trendingAInspect
Top consumer demands aggregated globally on AskFor — real users paying $1+ to publicly request features, products, or services from companies (Netflix, Apple, governments, etc.).

No annotations provided, but description discloses important behavioral traits: premium cost ($0.05/call), use of clinical-grade FDA data, warning against hallucinated answers, and links to parent platform. It does not describe return format in detail but mentions key elements (severity, description, recommendation).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is informative but includes somewhat verbose elements like the 'WebMD with a brain' tagline and a dramatic warning about hallucinations. Core functionality is front-loaded, but there is room for tightening.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, but description adequately conveys what is returned (severity, description, recommendation). It covers input requirements, cost, data source, and usage context. For a simple one-parameter tool, it is sufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with one parameter 'drugs' described as '2-10 drug names (generic or brand)'. Description adds meaning by specifying that the tool checks pairwise interactions and returns severity, description, recommendation per pair, which is not in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it checks pairwise drug-drug interactions for 2-10 medications and specifies returned information (severity, clinical description, recommendation). Distinguishes from sibling tools by positioning as a side feature of Symptia, and its focus on medication safety is unique among sibling tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states use cases (medication safety reviews, polypharmacy checks, pre-prescription screening) and provides a clear disclaimer that it is not a substitute for licensed medical advice. While no direct alternative sibling is mentioned, the tool's niche is well-defined.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| actionDescription | Yes | Plain-language description of the action you are about to take. Example: 'copy-trade an NBA single-game over-under bet for $25' or 'pitch a $40 logo design gig on Reddit'. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden and does well by detailing the inputs (action description, optional domain), outputs (patterns, stats, total $, verdict), and cost ($0.10/check). It also highlights the network-effect nature. It does not explicitly state read-only behavior, but the 'pre-flight' label implies no side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is efficient, front-loading purpose and providing necessary details in a few sentences. While it includes marketing language like '500x ROI', it does not waste words and the structure is logical.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description explains the return values (patterns, stats, verdict) sufficiently. It also mentions cost and calibration data. It could elaborate on interpreting the verdict, but overall it is complete for the tool's complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with both parameters documented adequately. The tool description reinforces the schema but does not add new semantic meaning beyond 'plain-language description' and 'domain hint'. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool is a 'pre-flight risk check' that searches a loss memory and returns a verdict. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by focusing on documented losses and providing a specific output format (BLOCK/CAUTION/ALLOW/UNKNOWN).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly advises to use the tool 'BEFORE placing any non-trivial bet, trade, gig pitch, or financial decision.' While it doesn't mention alternatives or when not to use it, the context is clear and helpful for the agent to decide when to invoke it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
alya_seismic_forecastAInspect
72-hour earthquake probability forecasts by SeismoAI's LightGBM+XGBoost model (v23.0, 230 features). Each prediction is a 1° grid cell with probabilities for M5.5+, M6.0+, M7.0+ events.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with core functionality, followed by use cases and pricing. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers model, output probabilities, grid cell, use cases, and pricing. Lacks return format details, but output schema is absent; description sufficiently explains output for the tool's purpose.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with clear parameter descriptions. The description adds no additional meaning to the parameters beyond their schema definitions, meeting the baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it provides 72-hour earthquake probability forecasts using a specific ML model, and lists the magnitude thresholds. It differentiates from sibling 'alya_seismic_recent' (which likely deals with recent quakes) by specifying it's a forecast tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit mention of use cases (risk assessment, insurance pricing, surfacing high-risk regions) and warning that it's premium not a public scrape. However, no explicit when-not-to-use or comparison with sibling tools.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses output fields but omits info on read-only nature, rate limits, or any side effects. The description is adequate but not rich in behavioral details beyond the obvious.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the core functionality and data sources, followed by use cases. No redundant information, every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with 3 optional parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential return fields and use cases. It is slightly lacking in explaining scope (e.g., global, significant magnitudes) but is largely complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% (each parameter has a description with defaults and ranges). The tool description adds no extra semantics beyond what is already in the schema, so baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it returns recent earthquakes from a specific aggregator, lists fields (magnitude, location, depth, time, source), and mentions use cases. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling 'alya_seismic_forecast', though the name implies differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit use cases are given (real-time monitoring, news, risk assessment, verifying a felt event), providing good context. No exclusions or alternatives are mentioned, but the sibling context implies forecast tool for predictions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
alya_symptom_checkAInspect
Start a Bayesian symptom-to-diagnosis session via Symptia (https://symptia.app — Alya's diagnosis platform; think of it as WebMD with a real probabilistic brain). Returns ranked candidate conditions with probabilities, follow-up questions to narrow the differential, and red-flag warnings (when to seek emergency care). Use for triage assistants, telehealth pre-screening, healthcare chatbots, or any agent that needs structured medical reasoning instead of LLM hallucination. NOT a substitute for licensed clinical diagnosis. Premium ($0.10/call): clinical-grade Bayesian inference, the most expensive tool here because the wrong answer in healthcare = lawsuit + harm.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| complaint | Yes | Patient's chief complaint in their own words (any language). Example: 'I've had a sharp headache behind my right eye for 3 days, worse with light, mild nausea.' |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the Bayesian inference method, the cost ($0.10/call), and the presence of red-flag warnings. It lacks details on error handling or rate limits but covers core behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is informative but somewhat lengthy, including a URL and pricing detail that could be separate. It is front-loaded with the action but loses conciseness with extra commentary.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's medical complexity and lack of output schema or annotations, the description covers key aspects: what it returns, use cases, disclaimer, and cost. Missing details on response format or error states, but adequate for a single-param tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema already describes the single parameter 'complaint' with 100% coverage. The description adds value by providing a concrete example and noting that any language is accepted, going beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it starts a Bayesian symptom-to-diagnosis session via Symptia, returning candidate conditions, probabilities, and red flags. The verb 'Start' and the resource 'symptom-to-diagnosis session' are specific, and the tool is well-distinguished from siblings like alya_drug_interactions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states use for triage assistants, telehealth pre-screening, and healthcare chatbots, and warns it is not a substitute for clinical diagnosis. This provides clear context, though it could more explicitly contrast with other medical tools like alya_drug_interactions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
alya_weather_nowAInspect

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, with a clear description for the 'city' parameter. The description adds global scope ('any city worldwide') and lists output fields, but does not provide extra semantics like case sensitivity or format expectations. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool provides current weather data (temperature, humidity, UV index, condition, icon) for any city worldwide, with no competing sibling tool. The verb 'get' is implied and the resource (weather) is well-specified.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly lists use cases (travel planning, agricultural decisions, event scheduling, context for other tools), guiding appropriate usage. However, it does not mention when not to use it or any alternatives, as none exist among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
batch_calibrateAInspect

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema or annotations, the description provides input format, constraints, and pricing. It misses error scenarios and validation rules, but is largely sufficient for basic usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description identifies required vs. optional fields (prediction, confidence, domain, stakes) but adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Schema coverage is 0%, and the description does not compensate with explanations of field semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'calibrate' and the resource 'predictions' in a batch context, limiting to 25 items. It distinguishes from sibling 'calibrate_decision' by emphasizing batch processing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for multiple predictions with batch pricing and field requirements. It does not explicitly state when not to use or name alternatives, but sibling 'calibrate_decision' serves as the single-prediction counterpart, providing implicit guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
calibrate_decisionAInspect
Calibrate a prediction's confidence against historical outcomes. Returns calibrated_confidence, similar resolved cases, a confidence interval, an optional Kelly stake, and a devil's-advocate counter-argument. Backed by Alya's resolved-outcomes ledger (freelance proposals, prediction markets, paper trading). Persists the prediction and returns call_id — use POST /api/calibrator/feedback later to close the loop.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| stakes | No | Optional USD amount at stake; used to compute kelly_stake. | |
| confidence | No | Your initial confidence 0..1. | |
| prediction | Yes | What you predict will happen (1 sentence). |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It discloses that the tool persists predictions, returns a call_id for later feedback, and uses a resolved-outcomes ledger. It does not mention destructive actions or rate limits, but the described behavior is consistent with a safe calibration tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three sentences long, front-loaded with the primary purpose, and every sentence adds value. There is no redundancy or fluff, making it highly efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema, the description thoroughly explains the return values (calibrated_confidence, similar cases, etc.), the persistence and feedback mechanism, and the backing ledger. For a tool with 4 parameters (1 required), this is fully complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
All parameters have descriptions in the schema (100% coverage), so the baseline is 3. The description adds context that stakes are used for kelly_stake and domain for filtering similar cases, but it does not significantly elaborate beyond the schema. This is adequate but not exceptional.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'calibrate' and the resource 'prediction's confidence against historical outcomes'. It details the return values and the backing ledger, and it implicitly distinguishes itself from sibling 'batch_calibrate' by focusing on a single prediction and the feedback loop.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes a usage instruction for closing the loop with feedback API, but it does not explicitly guide when to use this tool vs. siblings like 'batch_calibrate' or 'get_domain_accuracy'. The context is clear but lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_domain_accuracyAInspect
Look up the historical win-rate for a given prediction domain in Alya's outcome ledger. Returns resolved count, wins, losses, win_rate, and last_resolved_at.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with one parameter 'domain' described with an example in the schema. The description adds context by calling it a 'Domain prefix' and tying it to 'Alya's outcome ledger', slightly enhancing the schema's meaning. Since schema already documents the parameter well, this is a baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Look up' and the resource 'historical win-rate for a given prediction domain in Alya's outcome ledger', specifying the exact returned fields. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like alya_seismic_forecast or alya_demands_trending, which likely deal with other prediction types.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies that the tool is for looking up historical accuracy, but it does not explicitly state when to use it over alternatives or when not to use it. No exclusions or alternative suggestions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with no unnecessary words. Information is front-loaded and to the point.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a generative tool with 3 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, much context is missing: image format, generation time, URL expiration, usage limits. The description is too sparse.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Only the prompt parameter is minimally described in the schema. The description mentions prompt but not width/height, and the fixed size contradicts the adjustable parameters. No additional meaning added beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the action (generate), resource (image), model (FLUX.1-schnell), size (1024x1024), and output (URL). It distinguishes from sibling tools which are mostly non-image generation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use or not use the tool. No mention of alternatives, prerequisites, or limitations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Despite no output schema, the description enumerates the columns in each row (trader, market title, side, price, size, category, suggested edge), making the return format clear. It also explains the premium nuance. For a tool with 3 optional parameters, this is complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for each parameter (hours, limit, includeBlocked). The tool description adds context about blocked categories and the nature of signals but does not significantly extend beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate given high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it returns 'Live Polymarket copy-trading signals' from a specific watchlist filtered by category and time, with explicit detail on excluded categories and row structure. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'polymarket_top_traders' and 'polymarket_edge' by focusing on signals rather than traders or raw edge.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use for automated trading ('bot-grade signals') and notes it is premium, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'polymarket_edge' or 'polymarket_top_traders'. The context of exclusion of certain categories provides some guidance, but lack of explicit comparison prevents a higher score.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
polymarket_top_tradersAInspect

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the low complexity (2 parameters, no output schema), the description is mostly complete. It explains the return value (synthesized answer with sources) and the language constraint. It could mention supported domains or result format, but it suffices for a basic search tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters. The description adds the context that the language parameter restricts to Turkish or English, which is a minor clarification. It does not add significant new meaning beyond the schema definitions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Search the live web in Turkish or English and return a synthesized answer with sources.' The verb 'search' and resource 'live web' are specific, and the language constraint distinguishes it from other tools. No sibling tool appears to duplicate this function.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks explicit context about when not to use it or mention of alternative tools for different scenarios (e.g., specialized searches).
