Sats4AI - Bitcoin-Powered AI Tools

transcribe_audio

Transcribe audio to text with timestamps. Uses Mistral Transcription — high-accuracy speech recognition that handles accents, background noise, and overlapping speakers. 13 languages: en, zh, hi, es, ar, fr, pt, ru, de, ja, ko, it, nl. Up to 500 MB / 60 minutes per file. Async — returns requestId, poll with check_job_status(jobType='transcription'), then get_job_result. 10 sats/min. Privacy: audio and transcripts are ephemeral — processed, returned, and discarded. Never persisted. Pay per request with Bitcoin Lightning — no API key or signup needed. Requires create_payment with toolName='transcribe_audio'.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Despite no annotations, description fully discloses: async processing, polling mechanism, limits (500MB/60min, 13 languages), privacy (ephemeral, never persisted), payment model (Bitcoin Lightning, no signup). Highly transparent.

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?

Relatively dense but well-structured: begins with purpose, then details model, capabilities, flow, pricing, privacy. Each sentence adds unique information; no redundancy.

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?

Covers all major aspects: async flow, payment, polling, limits, privacy, language support. No output schema, but description explains how to retrieve results (polling). Adequate for the complexity.

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 100% but parameter descriptions are minimal. Description adds value by explaining paymentId requires prior create_payment, language list, and audioBase64 encoding, going beyond raw schema.

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?

Clearly states 'Transcribe audio to text with timestamps', specifying verb (transcribe), resource (audio), and distinctive output (timestamps). Differentiates from siblings like transcribe_translate (which adds translation).

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?

Provides explicit async workflow: use create_payment first, poll with check_job_status, then get_job_result. Mentions constraints (size, duration, languages, pricing). Lacks explicit 'do not use when' but implies alternatives.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is some overlap, especially among call tools (ai_call, place_call, open_voice_bridge) and image generation/editing tools (generate_image, edit_image, animate_image). Descriptions help differentiate, but an agent might still select the wrong one.

Naming Consistency4/5

The vast majority of tools follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., generate_image, send_sms). A few exceptions exist (await_result, check_job_status, epub_to_audiobook) but the overall pattern is strong and predictable.

Tool Count3/5

With 50 tools, the server is very extensive. While each tool earns its place given the broad scope of AI services, the count feels high and could overwhelm agents, making selection less efficient.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface is remarkably comprehensive, covering generation, editing, conversion, communication, async management, payments, and error handling. There are no obvious gaps for the stated Bitcoin-powered AI toolkit purpose.
