Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`page`	No	Page number
`limit`	No	Maximum number of records returned in a single list
`currency`	No	Alpha currency ID, for example USDS02b5a8dd2f59a098, not the display symbol USDS.

C2.3/5.0

Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that: no note on pagination, result size, sorting, or what fields a ticker record carries, despite openWorldHint implying external data.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is a single front-loaded sentence with zero waste, but the brevity stems from under-specification rather than disciplined editing. There is no information to trim, but also almost none conveyed.

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

Completeness2/5

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

With three optional parameters, full schema coverage and an annotation set, the core call mechanics are covered structurally. However, for a market-data listing tool with no output schema, an agent gets no sense of return shape or how tickers relate to currencies/tokens in the same family.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema itself documents page, limit and the tricky Alpha currency ID lookup. Per the high-coverage baseline, a 3 is appropriate; the description contributes no additional parameter meaning.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'List Alpha tickers' essentially restates the tool name (cex_alpha_list_alpha_tickers) with no added specificity. It does not explain what an 'Alpha ticker' contains or how this differs from sibling ticker tools like cex_fx_get_fx_tickers or cex_dc_list_dc_tickers, nor from cex_alpha_list_alpha_currencies/tokens.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many other ticker-listing tools, and no mention of prerequisites. The only routing hint lives inside the currency parameter's schema text, not the description.

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