Korea Trade Pulse: latest export flash, 12-month trend and semiconductor detail in one call

kr_trade_pulse

Use when you need a one-call read on South Korea's export cycle for macro, FX or chip-sector analysis. Data: Korea Customs 10-day and monthly releases. Input: none. Output: JSON headline (latest exports and YoY, semiconductor share, strongest/weakest item and market, 3-month average YoY, momentum), latest release by item and market, 12 monthly export totals with YoY, and HS 8542 integrated-circuit trade for the latest month. Example: /v1/trade/pulse Price: $0.0045 USDC (Base or Solana) via x402.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden and does well: it names the data source (Korea Customs 10-day and monthly releases), states there are no inputs, enumerates the return contents, and discloses pricing/payment via x402. It does not mention update cadence beyond 'latest release', rate limits, or latency, leaving minor behavioral gaps.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is front-loaded with the usage condition, then efficiently covers data source, input, output shape, example endpoint, and price. Every element earns its place because there is no output schema to document the return payload elsewhere.

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?

Given zero parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description supplies the necessary context: data source, input absence, detailed return fields, example endpoint, and payment cost. An agent can understand what it gets and how to invoke it without needing additional structured fields.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so parameter semantics are inherently simple. The description explicitly says 'Input: none', which matches the schema. Baseline for zero parameters is 4.

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?

The description clearly states a specific capability: a one-call read on South Korea's export cycle for macro, FX, or chip-sector analysis. It covers the data sources and output dimensions, so the purpose is concrete. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from nearby siblings such as kr_trade_exports_10day or kr_trade_hs, which keeps it from a 5.

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?

The opening sentence gives clear usage context: use when you need a consolidated read on Korea's export cycle for macro, FX, or chip-sector analysis. It does not state when to avoid this tool or name alternatives like the more granular trade siblings, so it stops short of full routing guidance.

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