get_celestia_validator_guide

The Unity Nodes validator guide for Celestia (moved here from runcelestia.xyz): the path to an active validator in three phases, the ten setup steps, operator gotchas, and the FAQ and common errors with their fixes. Every item names the Celestia docs page it was checked against, says whether the docs or the chain confirm it (verified) or it is operator experience (partial), and records where the docs or the chain disagree with the guide: those win over the guide. For exact commands and requirements use the official docs (search or get_doc); for the live state of the network get_celestia_network_health and get_celestia_upgrade_status; for choosing a server list_datacenter_offers; for what Unity Nodes' own nodes measure get_celestia_hardware_usage.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses provenance and reliability behavior: every item names the checked docs page, marks claims as verified or partial, and says docs/chain disagreements win over the guide. It does not explicitly state read-only status, freshness, or result-format behavior, but the provenance disclosure is substantial.

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?

The description is front-loaded with what the guide contains, then adds provenance and alternatives. It is dense and somewhat run-on, but most sentences carry useful selection or reliability information rather than repeating structured data.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The description gives strong content and routing context, but because there are no annotations and no output schema, it should do more to explain return shape, pagination/limit behavior, and whether the guide is static or versioned. It is adequate for calling the tool but not fully complete for an unannotated retrieval tool.

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 moderate at 67%: query and section are documented in the schema, and the description's content list reinforces section categories but adds no new parameter semantics. The limit parameter remains undocumented in both schema and description, so the definition is adequate but leaves a clear gap.

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?

The description clearly identifies a specific resource: the Unity Nodes Celestia validator guide, including its phases, setup steps, gotchas, and FAQ/error fixes. It also distinguishes the guide from official docs, live network-state tools, datacenter offers, and hardware-usage telemetry.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It explicitly routes the agent to alternatives: official docs or get_doc for exact commands and requirements, network-health/upgrade tools for live state, list_datacenter_offers for server choice, and get_celestia_hardware_usage for Unity Nodes' own measurements. This gives clear when-to-use and when-to-use-something-else guidance.

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