Tool Definition Quality
Average 3/5 across 95 of 95 tools scored. Lowest: 1.3/5.
Tools cover very diverse domains (weather, FDA, legal, crypto, etc.), so cross-domain confusion is low. However, within domains there is notable overlap: multiple food recall tools (food_recall_check, food_safety), multiple weather tools (weather_current_global, weather_forecast_grid, weather_alerts, weather_bias), and several Polymarket-related tools. This can cause agent misselection.
Naming is inconsistent: some tools use verb_noun (search_arxiv, scrape, validate_agent_manifest), others use noun phrases (smart_money, space_weather, tide_data), and some are long descriptive phrases (cross_platform_arb_scan, polymarket_event_scan). No single pattern is followed, making predictions difficult.
95 tools is excessively high for any coherent purpose. The server appears to be a random aggregation of APIs with no clear scope. Such a large catalog overwhelms agents and dilutes utility; most tools could be split into specialized servers.
Although many domains are touched, each is covered only shallowly. For example, weather lacks historical data, legal lacks case details beyond court opinions, and financial lacks stock prices. There are obvious gaps like no user authentication or data persistence. The tool set feels like a collection of endpoints rather than a cohesive service.
Available Tools
100 toolsadverse_eventsBInspect
Search 20M+ FDA adverse drug event reports via openFDA. Patient outcomes, drugs, reactions.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| drug | Yes | Drug name | |
| limit | No | Max results, default 20 |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions output fields but lacks information on rate limits, authentication, data freshness, or other operational 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?
Two sentences clearly conveying the tool's function with no redundancy. Front-loaded with key information.
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?
Lacks output schema and details on result format, pagination, or error handling. The description gives a hint of output content but is not fully complete for an agent to use without assumptions.
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 baseline is 3. The description does not add further meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions.
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 specifies the verb 'Search' and the resource '20M+ FDA adverse drug event reports via openFDA', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like drug_labels and drug_recalls.
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 this tool vs. alternatives, nor any exclusions or context. The description merely states what it does.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
agent_security_policiesAInspect
Get drop-in agent security policy templates by profile (coding-agent, browser-agent, payment-agent, research-agent).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| profile | No | Agent profile: coding-agent, browser-agent, payment-agent, research-agent |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With empty annotations, the description carries the full burden. It only says 'Get' without elaborating on side effects, authorization needs, rate limits, or return format. The behavioral trait is minimal.
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 efficient sentence with no redundant words. It is front-loaded and compact.
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 one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the essential purpose and enumerates valid profiles. No missing information.
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%, and the schema already describes the 'profile' parameter with the same list. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema; 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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'drop-in agent security policy templates', and enumerates the specific profiles. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'check_agent_policy', which likely checks rather than retrieves templates.
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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. The description only states what it does without context for appropriate usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
agent_threat_intelAInspect
Query the OWASP Agentic Top 10 threat catalog (ASI01-ASI10). Returns threats, detection hints, mitigations, and mapped detection rule IDs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | No | Specific threat ID, e.g. ASI04 | |
| category | No | Filter by category, e.g. 'prompt injection', 'supply chain' | |
| severity | No | Filter: critical, high, medium |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It states the return types (threats, detection hints, etc.) which is good, but does not mention idempotency, read-only nature, rate limits, or any required authentication. For a query tool, this is adequate but not thorough.
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 immediately conveys the core purpose and output details with zero wasted words. It is well front-loaded.
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 and a simple query tool, the description adequately explains what is returned (threats, detection hints, mitigations, rule IDs). However, it could mention if results are paginated or if there is a limit on 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 description coverage is 100%, so the input schema already describes each parameter (id, category, severity) with clear definitions. The description adds no additional context beyond what is in the schema, earning a baseline score of 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 tool queries the OWASP Agentic Top 10 threat catalog (ASI01-ASI10) and specifies the type of information returned (threats, detection hints, mitigations, detection rule IDs). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like cve_search or mcp_supply_chain_iocs.
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 OWASP Agentic threat queries but does not explicitly state when to use vs alternatives or mention any prerequisites or exclusions. For example, it could contrast with general vulnerability searches.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
agent_trifecta_scoreBInspect
Score an agent's lethal trifecta risk (private data + untrusted content + outbound actions). Returns risk level, missing controls, and decomposition advice.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| has_private_data | Yes | Does the agent access private/sensitive data? | |
| has_outbound_actions | Yes | Can the agent take outbound actions (send, write, call APIs)? | |
| compensating_controls | Yes | Controls in place, e.g. ['redact_secrets', 'smart_approvals'] | |
| has_untrusted_content | Yes | Does the agent process untrusted external content? |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With empty annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states what the tool returns but does not disclose whether it is read-only, requires authentication, has rate limits, or any side effects. For a scoring tool, the lack of explicit read-only hint or behavioral caveats 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 a single sentence that front-loads the main purpose and includes both inputs and outputs. It is efficient with no filler, but could be slightly improved by separating the return items for clarity.
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 has 4 required parameters (all boolean and an array) and no output schema, the description explains the concept ('lethal trifecta') and lists return values. It provides enough context for a low-complexity scoring tool, though a bit more detail on what 'decomposition advice' entails would help.
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 baseline is 3. The description's phrase 'private data + untrusted content + outbound actions' maps to the boolean parameters but adds no new nuance. The 'compensating_controls' array is mentioned in the description only as part of the return, not in parameter semantics. The schema already fully documents the parameters, so the description adds minimal value.
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 scores an agent's 'lethal trifecta risk' and lists its components (private data, untrusted content, outbound actions). It also specifies the outputs (risk level, missing controls, decomposition advice). This provides a specific verb-resource pair and distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'agent_security_policies' or 'check_agent_policy' that focus on broader security or policy checking.
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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites, when not to use it, or which sibling tools might be more appropriate for different contexts. It is purely functional.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
airport_statusCInspect
Airport details by ICAO code.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| icao | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so the description must carry the full behavioral burden. It only says 'airport details' without specifying whether the operation is read-only, any authentication needs, rate limits, or side effects. The description adds minimal behavioral context.
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 concise with one front-loaded sentence. It wastes no words. However, it could be slightly improved by adding more detail without losing conciseness.
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 lookup tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description should clarify what details are returned. It omits any information about the output structure or content, leaving the agent without essential context for using the response.
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 has 0% description coverage; the tool description adds that the single parameter is an ICAO code, providing some meaning. However, it does not clarify the expected format or any constraints, leaving the agent to infer what a valid ICAO code looks like.
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 returns airport details by ICAO code, identifying the verb (lookup/get) and resource (airport) with a specific key. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like flight_intel, and lacks specifics on what details are returned.
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 this tool versus alternatives, no context on prerequisites or exclusions. Usage is only implied: when an ICAO code is known and airport details are needed.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
air_quality_indexCInspect
PM2.5, UV index, pollutants for any location.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| lat | Yes | ||
| lon | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so description bears full weight. It implies a read operation but does not disclose any behaviors like data freshness, rate limits, or whether historical data is returned. No contradictions.
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?

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 lines covering key outputs and sources, front-loaded. Some jargon ('proxies', 'Polymarkets') reduces clarity, but overall 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?
No output schema exists, so the description should explain return values. It mentions velocity scoring, momentum_score, and viral flag but lacks format details and clarity on 'proxies'. Adequate but not fully complete for an 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%, providing parameter descriptions. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema, only contextualizing 'query' as a topic filter and 'window' as time range. Baseline score 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 states the tool computes attention momentum scores from HN and Reddit, with outputs like points/hr, momentum_score, and viral flag. While specific, the jargon ('Polymarkets', 'proxies') may obscure the purpose, and it does not differentiate from sibling tools like reddit_search or hn_frontpage.
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?

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It fails to state whether the tool is read-only, has rate limits, or any side effects. For a tool that likely queries an external API, this is a significant 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 very short (one phrase), which could be considered concise, but it lacks essential structure and detail. It does not front-load critical info or use formatting to aid readability.
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 lack of output schema and simple parameter set, the description should explain what the returned citation graph contains (e.g., list of papers, metadata). It does not, making it incomplete for the agent to understand the tool's output.
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 0%, and the description does not explain the parameters. 'paperId' and 'direction' are not defined anywhere, leaving the agent to guess their meaning (e.g., what values for 'direction', how to obtain a paperId).
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 'Citation graph via Semantic Scholar' indicates the tool retrieves a citation graph for a paper, but it does not specify what type of graph (e.g., citing papers, references, or both). This vagueness makes it less clear compared to sibling tools like 'paper_details' which have more specific names.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'search_papers' or 'paper_details'. The description does not mention prerequisites or typical use cases, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| limit | No | Max results, default 20 | |
| query | Yes | Trial query | |
| status | No | RECRUITING, COMPLETED |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states it searches studies, with no mention of rate limits, data freshness, authentication needs, or that it is read-only. The behavioral traits are largely implicit.
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, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently conveys the source, scope, and key filters.
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 tool with 3 parameters (1 required), no output schema, and no annotations, the description provides adequate context: the source, version, and filterable aspects. However, it does not explain return format or pagination, making it minimally viable.
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 baseline is 3. The description adds marginal value by mentioning 'sponsors, phases' which are not explicit parameters but hints at search capabilities. It does not elaborate on parameter syntax or format 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 uses a specific verb ('Search') and resource ('480K+ clinical studies via ClinicalTrials.gov v2'). It lists key aspects (Status, sponsors, phases, results) that clearly distinguish it from siblings like search_pubmed which searches biomedical literature.
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 any explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., adverse_events, drug_labels). It lacks context about when not to use it or what complementary tools exist.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
combinatorial_arbCInspect
Polymarket negRisk combinatorial arbitrage scan.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. Only states 'scan', implying read-only, but lacks details on return format, cost, or side effects. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotation support.
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 with no fluff, but it is too brief to be fully informative. It sacrifices completeness for conciseness.
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?
With no output schema, no parameter details, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what the scan returns, how results are structured, or how to use the limit parameter.
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 input schema has one optional parameter 'limit' with no description. Schema coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the parameter's meaning or usage, adding no 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?
The description specifies the platform (Polymarket), type (negRisk combinatorial arbitrage), and action (scan). It distinguishes from sibling tools like cross_platform_arb_scan by focusing on Polymarket and negRisk. However, 'negRisk' may not be clear to all agents, slightly reducing clarity.
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 this tool versus sibling tools like polymarket_event_scan or cross_platform_arb_scan. The description does not provide any context for selection or exclusion.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | ||
| jurisdiction | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so description bears full burden. It only says 'Search' implying read access, but no mention of permissions, rate limits, or return behavior. Minimal disclosure.
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?
Extremely concise (one sentence) but under-specified. Not front-loaded with key information; it's too brief to be effective.
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 0% schema coverage, no output schema, and a vague description, the tool is incompletely described. Missing essential behavioral and input context.
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 0%, and the description adds no meaning about the parameters 'query' and 'jurisdiction'. Fails to compensate for missing schema documentation.
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 states a verb and resource ('Search company registries'), but it's vague and doesn't specify the scope or differentiate from sibling tools like 'edgar_filings' or 'trademarks_search'. A specific verb+resource but lacking distinction.
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 this tool versus alternatives. No context about scenarios or exclusions.

court_docketBInspect
Look up a federal court docket by ID via CourtListener RECAP archive. Parties, filings, dates.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| docket_id | Yes | Docket ID |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations present, the description carries full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the basic lookup action and omits critical traits: read-only nature, API rate limits, authentication requirements, data freshness, or whether it supports partial IDs. The agent cannot infer safety or limitations from this description alone.
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 with zero wasted words. It front-loads the action and resource, then lists what the tool returns. Every word adds value.
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 single-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the core purpose and expected outputs. However, it lacks detail on ID format, return structure (e.g., fields beyond parties/filings/dates), and limitations (e.g., only federal courts, RECAP coverage). It is adequate but incomplete for optimal use.
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 the baseline is 3. The description adds 'federal court docket' and 'via RECAP archive' but does not clarify the expected format of docket_id (e.g., case number format, court abbreviation). The parameter's schema description is generic ('Docket ID'), and the tool description adds marginal context without specifying syntax or validation.
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: 'Look up a federal court docket by ID via CourtListener RECAP archive.' It specifies the resource (federal court docket), the action (look up), the data source (RECAP archive), and the return type (parties, filings, dates). It distinguishes itself from siblings like court_opinions and judges_search by focusing on docket records.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. It implies use when you have a docket ID, but does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or when to choose another tool. For example, no mention of whether state court dockets are excluded or what to do if the ID is not found.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It does not mention rate limits, pagination, result limits, error handling, or output format. Only 'Keyless' is noted, which is a credential requirement, not behavioral.
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, efficient sentence that conveys essential information with no unnecessary words.
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 lack of output schema and annotations, the description should explain what the tool returns (e.g., list of opinions, metadata, text). It fails to disclose any output characteristics, pagination, or limitations, leaving the agent underinformed for a 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 each parameter already has a description. The description adds 'by keyword, court, date', which maps to the three parameters but does not add new semantic details beyond the schema descriptions.
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 'Search' and the resource 'US federal court opinions', and specifies filtering by keyword, court, and date. It also mentions the data source (CourtListener/Free Law Project) and notes that no API key is needed ('Keyless'). This distinguishes it from siblings like court_docket or citation_graph.
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 this tool versus alternatives such as court_docket or judges_search. The description only notes 'Keyless' as a feature, but does not explain when it is appropriate to use this tool or when to avoid it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description conveys it only provides intelligence (no execution), uses conservative fee estimates, and requires verification. It could mention data freshness or rate limits.
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 concise sentence that front-loads the core action and constraints. No wasted words.
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 purpose and usage well but lacks output structure information. Given no output schema, a brief note on return format (e.g., matched pairs with edges) would improve completeness.
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 all parameters. The description adds no extra parameter meaning beyond the topic context.
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 matching live Polymarket and Kalshi markets for a topic, comparing asks with fee estimates, and states 'Intelligence only'. It distinguishes from siblings like polymarket_event_scan and combinatorial_arb.
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 'Intelligence only; verify both rulebooks before acting', which informs the agent not to act blindly. However, it does not name alternative tools for specific cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
crypto_price_simpleCInspect
Cryptocurrency price via CoinGecko.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| coin | Yes | ||
| currency | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations present, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions 'via CoinGecko,' indicating an external data source, but does not describe any side effects, rate limits, authentication needs, or response behavior. As a price retrieval tool, it is presumably read-only, but this is not explicitly stated. The minimal disclosure leaves significant uncertainty about how the tool behaves beyond its basic function.
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 extremely concise at only four words, which aids quick scanning. However, it sacrifices critical information; every word should earn its place. The brevity here leads to omissions in usage guidelines, parameter semantics, and behavioral details, making it less effective than a slightly longer but more informative description.
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 string parameters, no output schema) and the presence of many similar sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It does not describe the output format, possible error conditions, or example usage. An agent needs more context to integrate this tool reliably, especially without any annotations or schema descriptions.
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 0%, so the description should explain the parameters. The description does not mention 'coin' or 'currency' at all. Although the parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, the tool offers no information about valid values (e.g., ticker symbols, full names) or default behavior. This fails to add value beyond the raw schema and leaves the agent with insufficient guidance to use the tool correctly.
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 that the tool retrieves cryptocurrency prices using CoinGecko, establishing a specific verb ('get price') and resource ('cryptocurrency price'). It is not a tautology and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like btc_address_balance and btc_mempool_fees, which serve different purposes. However, it lacks detail on whether it returns current, historical, or some other price type.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Given the large number of sibling tools, including other financial tools like currency_rates and polymarket_market_scan, the absence of usage context leaves the agent without clear criteria for tool selection. No when-not or alternative recommendations are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

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, but it only states 'Live currency exchange rates.' It does not disclose behavioral traits such as data freshness, rate limits, authentication needs, or what happens if parameters are omitted. The agent gets minimal insight into the tool's behavior.
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 extremely concise at four words, which is structurally clean but overly terse. It could be expanded slightly to include key details without losing conciseness. As is, it is too brief to be fully useful.
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 has two parameters, no required fields, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It lacks information on return format, parameter usage, and any constraints. An agent would have insufficient context to use the tool correctly.
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 input schema has two string parameters (base, target) with no descriptions and 0% schema description coverage. The description does not explain what these parameters represent (e.g., currency codes) or how to use them. It adds no meaning beyond the schema, leaving the agent to guess.
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 states 'Live currency exchange rates,' which conveys the general purpose but lacks specificity. It does not use a verb like 'get' or 'fetch,' and fails to clarify that it likely returns a specific rate based on base and target parameters. It vaguely distinguishes from siblings like 'crypto_price_simple' but does not explicitly differentiate.
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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of use cases, prerequisites, or exclusions. The description is too terse to help an agent decide when to invoke this tool over similar ones.
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?
The description is very concise (7 words) but at the expense of necessary detail. It does not use a front-loaded structure to convey key information efficiently; instead, it omits critical usage context.
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 has 3 unannotated parameters, no output schema, and empty annotations, the description fails to provide adequate context. The agent cannot determine how to invoke the tool correctly or what to expect from results.
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 input schema has 3 parameters with 0% description coverage, and the tool description does not add any meaning to the parameters. The agent receives no guidance on what 'cve_id', 'keyword', or 'severity' are expected to contain or how they relate to the search.
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 'Search' and the specific resource 'NIST NVD CVE database', making the tool's purpose immediately obvious and distinct from the many sibling tools which cover different domains.
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?

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so the description carries full burden. It does not disclose if the tool is read-only, what modifications occur, or any rate limits. 'Fingerprint' suggests reading but is unverified.
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 wasted words, front-loading the key action. Could be slightly more structured but is 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?
No output schema exists, yet the description does not hint at the return format (e.g., JSON object with signals). For a fingerprinting tool, this omission reduces completeness.
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 of the 'url' parameter. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline but not compensating.
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 fingerprints a URL for multiple signal types (framework, analytics, etc.). It is specific and distinguishes from siblings like 'scrape' which might extract page content.
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 this tool versus alternatives like 'scrape' or 'enrich_lead'. No context on prerequisites or limitations, leaving the agent to infer usage.

drug_labelsBInspect
Search official FDA drug labels via openFDA. Dosage, warnings, contraindications, active ingredients.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max results, default 10 | |
| drug_name | Yes | Drug name |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description bears full burden. It mentions the data source and types but lacks details on rate limits, authentication, pagination, or whether results are truncated. Minimal behavioral disclosure.
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, action-first, with key details. No filler or redundancy. 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?
For a search tool with no output schema, the description omits the return format, pagination behavior, and exact fields. An AI agent may struggle to interpret the response correctly.
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 high (100%) with both parameters described. The description adds no parameter-specific semantics; it lists result fields instead. 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?
Clearly states the verb 'Search' and the resource 'official FDA drug labels via openFDA'. Lists specific content types (dosage, warnings, contraindications, active ingredients) which distinguish it from sibling tools like adverse_events.

With empty annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'openFDA food enforcement' without indicating whether the tool is read-only, whether it returns data, or any constraints like rate limits or pagination. This provides no actionable behavioral context.
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?
While extremely short, the description is under-specified rather than concise. It lacks structure, front-loading minimal domain information without any useful content. Every word should earn its place, but here they are too sparse to be helpful.
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 output schema and the complexity of food enforcement data, the description is completely inadequate. It does not explain return values, optional parameters, or any other details needed for correct invocation. The tool is essentially opaque.
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 0%, yet the description adds no meaning to the 'query' parameter. It does not explain what types of queries are accepted, expected format, or how it affects results. The tool name alone does not compensate.
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 'openFDA food enforcement' vaguely indicates the domain but fails to specify the action (e.g., search, list, get). It does not distinguish this tool from siblings like 'food_recall_check' or 'drug_recalls' which have more specific names and purposes.
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 is provided on when to use this tool over alternatives. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or exclusions, which is critical given the many related sibling tools in the food/recall domain.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations and description provides no behavioral context beyond data source. Agent doesn't know if it's read-only, what operations it performs, or any 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?
Single phrase is brief but sacrifices necessary detail. It's front-loaded but incomplete.
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?
Description covers only data source, lacking return format, parameter usage, and sibling differentiation. Agent likely cannot use this tool effectively.
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?
Description provides no explanation of parameters limit and series_id, even though schema coverage is 0%. Agent has no context on how to use them.
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 states it deals with FRED economic data series but lacks a specific verb or resource scope. It doesn't distinguish from sibling tools like economic_indicators or fred_surprises.
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?

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so description carries full burden. It discloses output format (CSV), public domain, no key needed, and rate limit (TokenBucket 2/s polite). It also mentions spread and inversion flag computation. However, it doesn't explicitly state read-only nature or side effects, and the scoring mechanism is unclear.
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 short but cryptic, using abbreviations and fragmented phrasing. It is front-loaded with 'FRED rates surprise' but lacks sentence structure. While concise, it sacrifices clarity.
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?
Tool has 2 optional parameters and no output schema. Description does not fully explain the output beyond 'csv' and components. The surprise score meaning, delta scoring details, and data source (FRED API) are omitted. Given no output schema, the description should elaborate on return values.
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 descriptions for both parameters (days, min_score). Description does not add meaning beyond the schema; it mentions 'delta scoring' but not min_score. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema already documents parameters adequately.
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 lists components (DGS10, DGS2, spread, inversion flag, delta scoring) but lacks a clear verb stating the tool's action. It vaguely conveys a derived metric computation but doesn't explicitly say 'calculates' or 'computes'. It distinguishes from siblings like fred_series by implying a derived output, but the purpose remains somewhat ambiguous.
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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While it mentions 'public-domain no-key' and rate limiting, it doesn't specify contexts or exclusions. Siblings include fred_series and economic_indicators, but the description offers no decision criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With empty annotations, the description notes it is 'Intelligence only' and 'no direct model API resale,' which signals that it will not execute model generation. It does not disclose potential side effects, rate limits, or the exact meaning of 'live,' leaving behavioral expectations partially unspecified.
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 compact: two sentences covering scope and constraints. The model list is informative without being redundant, and every phrase contributes to understanding the tool's purpose.
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?
The tool has no output schema and empty annotations, so the description must convey what to expect. It covers the input domain and content types, but the nature of the response ('intelligence') is vague, and no details are given about the data source or response format.
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?
Since the schema provides no parameter descriptions, the description's enumeration of models (Wan, VACE, LTX) and topics (settings, comparisons, gotchas) helps infer that the 'model' parameter likely accepts one of these names and 'query' requests particular intelligence. However, the relationship between the two optional parameters and their accepted formats remains ambiguous.
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 identifies the tool's domain (generative video/image workflow intelligence) and lists specific models, distinguishing it from broader sibling tools. However, it lacks an explicit action verb like 'get' or 'query', relying on the noun 'intelligence' to convey the 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 implies the tool should be used when needing intelligence on the listed generative video/image models, but it does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor does it reference alternative tools. The 'no direct model API resale' note hints at a limitation but does not guide tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It mentions the output format and data sources but does not disclose behavioral traits such as rate limits, authentication needs, how confidence is computed, or what triggers different alert levels. The tool appears read-only but that's inferred, not stated.
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 efficiently convey purpose and output format with no wasted words. However, a bulleted list or structure could improve scannability. It is appropriately front-loaded.
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 complexity (4 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description covers the high-level purpose and output but omits details about the signals array structure, default parameter behaviors, edge cases, and performance implications. Adequate but incomplete for fully autonomous agent use.
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 parameter descriptions already present. The description adds high-level context about data sources but does not elaborate on parameter meanings beyond the schema. Thus it meets the baseline without adding significant value.
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 is a 'Composite geopolitical intervention signal' and lists specific data sources (GDELT, BBC, AlJazeera, ADS-B, prediction markets). It explains the output is 'alert_level + signals array'. While it distinguishes from many siblings by being composite and intervention-focused, it does not explicitly compare with other similar alert tools like 'regulatory_pulse'.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no when-not-to-use scenarios. The function is stated but the context of use is left implicit.
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?
The description is extremely short (6 words), but this is under-specification rather than efficient conciseness. It lacks substantive 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?
With no annotations, no output schema, and a single parameter, the tool is severely underspecified. No guidance on errors, return values, or rate limits.
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 input schema has 0% description coverage for the 'repo' parameter. The description adds no meaning beyond the parameter name. No format or example provided.
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 'GitHub repo intelligence' is vague, indicating the tool deals with repository information but not specifying what kind (e.g., metadata, stats, activity). It is not a tautology but lacks specificity.
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?

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 that the tool uses the public GitHub Search API without authentication, and details the filtering logic (stars >20, recent push, sort). However, it omits potential rate limits, pagination behavior, or error handling. These are useful but not critical gaps given the disclosure of key 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 extremely concise with two short sentences that convey the essential information. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and immediately provides the key criteria. No extraneous text, 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?
The description explains the source and criteria but does not describe the output format (e.g., what fields each repo includes) or pagination behavior. Since there is no output schema, this omission leaves the agent uncertain about the response structure. Given moderate complexity (3 parameters, no output schema), additional context on return values would improve completeness.
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 input schema covers all three parameters with descriptions, giving 100% coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the underlying selection criteria ('stars >20 + recent push') that the parameters influence, helping the agent understand how 'limit', 'language', and 'since_days' affect results beyond their basic constraints.
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 returns GitHub trending repos with criteria of stars >20 and recent push, sorted by stars descending. It also mentions it uses the public GitHub Search API with no key required, making the purpose specific and unambiguous. While it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like github_repo_intel, the purpose is well-defined.
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 dev tooling and open source virality ('Momentum proxy'), but it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like github_repo_intel for detailed repo info. There are no when-not-to-use statements or clear context for exclusion of other use cases.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool returns data but does not disclose whether it has side effects, requires authentication, or has rate limits. The description is too brief for a mutation-aware agent.
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 efficiently communicates purpose and outputs, but could be more structured by explicitly listing parameters or usage tips.
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 lack of output schema, empty annotations, and four undocumented parameters, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the 'limit' parameter, how parameters interact, or what the output format is beyond a vague list.
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 only vaguely mentions inputs ('service keyword, agency, or company domain') without linking to the schema properties (keyword, agency, company_domain, limit). It fails to explain the 'limit' parameter or any constraints.
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 uses a specific verb 'Score' and names the resource 'federal contract awards', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'federal_contracts' that might simply list contracts. It also lists return fields (incumbents, agencies, amounts, pursuit notes).
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 scoring contract fit but does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No alternatives are mentioned, though siblings exist (e.g., federal_contracts, federal_spending).

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at three words, but this brevity sacrifices necessary detail. It is not overly long, but it is incomplete.
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?
With no output schema and minimal description, the tool is underequipped for an agent to use correctly. Key aspects like return format, filtering options, and error behavior are missing.
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 0% and the description provides no additional meaning for the 'query' or 'court' parameters. The purpose of 'query' is ambiguous (judge name, jurisdiction?).
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 searches for federal and state judges, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like court_docket or court_opinions. However, it does not specify what information about judges is returned.
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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or typical use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| client | No | Client/org name | |
| lobbyist | No | Lobbyist name |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description partially compensates by implying a read operation and listing output fields. However, it does not disclose limitations, pagination, rate limits, or whether the search is exact or partial. Behaviorally adequate but not transparent.
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 concise sentence, efficient and front-loaded with the action. However, it omits useful details that could be included without verbosity.
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 search tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, the description lacks essential context such as whether multiple parameters are combined with AND/OR, the format of responses, or any default behavior. The minimal information leaves the agent with incomplete 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 the description adds no new meaning to the parameters. The listed output fields provide some context for what the search returns, but this is separate from parameter 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 'Search FEC lobbying disclosure records' with specific verb and resource. It lists key fields (lobbyists, clients, amounts, issues lobbied), but does not explicitly distinguish it from sibling tools like 'federal_contracts' or 'federal_spending'.
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 this tool versus alternatives. No mention of prerequisites, typical use cases, or exclusions. The description simply states what it does without contextual direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
marine_conditionsCInspect

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| lat | Yes | ||
| lon | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No behavioral traits are disclosed. Annotations are empty, so the description carries full burden, but it lacks any details about data sources, update frequency, or limitations.
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 short and front-loaded, but it is too minimal to be effective. It achieves conciseness at the cost of informativeness.
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 params, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It does not explain what 'marine conditions' entails, leaving the agent without enough context to use the tool confidently.
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 does not mention the parameters lat and lon. Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description fails to add meaning beyond the schema's type 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 provides marine conditions for ocean coordinates, distinguishing it from weather and tide tools. However, 'conditions' is broad and could be more 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?
No usage guidance is provided. The description does not mention when to use this tool over alternatives like water_levels or tide_data.

mcp_supply_chain_iocsCInspect
Query known-malicious MCP packages, versions, C2 hosts, and email IOCs. The virus database for MCP.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| host | No | C2 host to check | |
| package | No | npm package name to check |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description lacks behavioral details beyond stating it is a query-like operation. There are no annotations, so the description bears full responsibility. It does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, if results are cached, rate limits, or what happens when no results are found. The mention of 'email IOCs' is unsupported by the schema, adding confusion.
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 extremely concise with two short sentences. The first sentence front-loads the core purpose, and the second sentence adds a memorable metaphor. No unnecessary words or repetition.
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 lack of output schema and annotations, the description should provide more context about return values, behavior when no match is found, and how results are structured. It does not mention pagination, confirmation of maliciousness, or any other details that would help an agent use the tool effectively in a sequence.
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 input schema already provides clear descriptions for both parameters ('C2 host to check', 'npm package name to check'), achieving 100% coverage. The description adds minimal value by grouping them under the umbrella of 'known-malicious...' but also introduces 'versions' and 'email IOCs' not in the schema, which could mislead an agent. Overall, the schema does the heavy lifting.
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 queries known-malicious MCP packages, versions, C2 hosts, and email IOCs. It uses a specific verb and resource, and the metaphor 'virus database for MCP' reinforces the purpose. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like cve_search, and mentions 'versions' and 'email IOCs' not present in the schema, causing slight ambiguity.
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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There are no prerequisites, exclusion criteria, or examples of appropriate use. The description only implies checking package or host names, but fails to mention that both parameters are optional or when to choose one over the other.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
model_settings_lookupCInspect
Community-tested settings for generative video and image models: CFG, steps, denoise, fps, resolution, sampler, LoRA, ComfyUI, fp8/quantization, and training notes.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| task | No | ||
| model | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With empty annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior, but it does not state that the tool is read-only, what it returns, or any side effects. The name suggests a lookup, but the description never explicitly says it reads or retrieves settings, nor does it mention response structure or limitations. This is a significant gap for a tool with no annotation support.
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, compact sentence that front-loads the core purpose ('Community-tested settings...') before listing key topics. It contains no filler words and efficiently communicates the tool's scope. The structure is acceptable, though it is a fragment rather than a full sentence, which slightly reduces clarity.
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?
The tool has no annotations, no output schema, and sparse parameter documentation. The description lists many content areas but does not explain input usage, output format, or any behavioral context. This is insufficient for an agent to confidently invoke the tool; the agent must guess parameter formats and expected results. Given the tool's apparent simplicity, a more complete description is expected.
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 has two parameters (task, model) with no descriptions and 0% schema coverage. The description does not explain the role of either parameter; it only lists content areas like CFG, steps, and resolution, which are likely values returned rather than input semantics. The required 'model' parameter is implied by the tool name, but 'task' remains ambiguous. The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation.
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 identifies the resource as 'community-tested settings for generative video and image models' and lists specific content areas, making the tool's purpose comprehensible. However, it lacks an explicit verb like 'looks up' or 'retrieves', relying on the tool name to convey action. It does not explicitly differentiate from siblings such as gen_video_intel, though the content focus is distinct.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool, when not to use it, or suitable alternatives. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or situations where other tools might be preferred. The description is purely a content summary with no usage direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavior. It only mentions data source and categories, but omits update frequency, latency, authentication, or any constraints. Minimal transparency.
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, 20 words, front-loaded with purpose. Every word adds value; 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?
For a simple parameterless tool, description covers source and data types. Could include update frequency (e.g., daily), but not essential. Completeness is good given tool 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?
No parameters in schema (coverage 100%), baseline is 4. Description adds value by specifying output categories (total debt, debt by instrument), which compensates for lack of params.
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?
Clearly states the tool provides US national debt data to the penny, sourced from Treasury FiscalData, and includes total debt and debt by instrument. This is specific and distinguishes it from many 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?
Usage context is implied (e.g., for exact national debt figures), but there is no explicit guidance on when to use this versus related tools like economic_indicators or fred_series. No exclusions mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

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?
The description mentions data fields but does not explain the return structure or expected format, which is important since there is no output schema. For a search tool, it should clarify whether results are paginated, what a typical response looks like, etc.
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 already described ('Organization name', '2-letter state code'). The tool description adds 'Revenue, expenses, exec comp' which hints at available data but does not enhance parameter meaning beyond the schema. 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 action (Search), resource (nonprofit IRS 990 filings), and source (ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer). It also lists key data fields (Revenue, expenses, exec comp) which distinguish it from sibling tools like edgar_filings or federal_contracts.
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?

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, description must carry the behavioral burden. It mentions API version and fallback, but does not explicitly state the tool is read-only, whether authentication is required, or rate limits. The read-only nature is implied but not confirmed.
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 concise but includes unclear phrases like 'Env / health / geo pulse' and 'For PM market disclaimers' that may confuse agents. A clearer structure identifying output would improve it.
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, description should hint at return structure. It mentions 'lastUpdated' but not other fields or format. For a simple tool, it is adequate but leaves gaps about what the agent can expect.
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. Description adds context about filtering by city/country but does not add significant meaning beyond the schema. 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?
Description clearly states the tool retrieves air quality data (PM2.5/PM10/NO2/O3) by city/country with lastUpdated field, and specifies API version. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tool 'air_quality_index' despite being in a similar domain.
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?

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 listing tool with two optional parameters and no output schema, the description covers caching, data source, and purpose. It does not detail output format or pagination, but given the low complexity and high schema coverage, it is nearly complete. A 4 is reasonable.
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 the two parameters (limit, min_context). The description adds overall context but does not enhance parameter meaning beyond what the schema provides. 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 lists models from OpenRouter with specific fields (id, name, context_length, pricing, created). It distinguishes itself from diverse sibling tools by focusing on the model catalog, making its purpose unambiguous.
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?

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations present, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'metadata' without specifying what fields are returned, whether the operation is read-only, any rate limits, or error handling. The description is insufficient for an agent to understand the tool's behavior beyond the basic intent.
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 extremely short (one phrase), but it is underspecified rather than concise. It lacks crucial context and fails to earn its place because it does not convey enough information to guide agent behavior. A good concise description would pack more meaning into fewer words.
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 that the tool has one required parameter, no annotations, and no output schema, the description should provide enough context about input and output. It does not describe what 'metadata' includes, return format, or error cases. It is incomplete for an agent to use correctly.
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 0%, and the description does not explain the 'paperId' parameter at all. It does not specify the format (e.g., Semantic Scholar ID, URL, DOI) or any constraints. The agent is left with no additional meaning beyond the raw schema, which is just a string type.
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 'Paper metadata via Semantic Scholar.' clearly indicates the tool retrieves metadata for a specific paper using Semantic Scholar as the source. The verb is implied (get/retrieve), and the resource is a paper. While it does not explicitly distinguish from siblings like search_papers, the purpose is clear enough for an agent to understand it provides detailed metadata for a given paper ID.
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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not mention when to use this tool over alternatives such as search_papers or citation_graph. An agent would have to infer from the tool name and sibling context that it is for fetching details of a known paper, but there is no explicit guidance.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Despite empty annotations, description clarifies it is non-destructive and intelligence-focused. Warns about verification steps, offering behavioral context beyond the annotation defaults.
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 concise sentences front-load the main action. Every word is purposeful, zero 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?
Adequately describes purpose, usage constraints, and parameter context. Lacks output format details, but for a scanning tool this is acceptable given no output schema.
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. Description adds no additional parameter-level meaning beyond the schema's comments. It provides overall context but does not enhance individual parameter understanding.
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 explicitly states specific verb 'Scan', resource 'live Polymarket negRisk event', and targeted analysis 'fee-adjusted outcome-sum violations'. It clearly distinguishes from siblings like 'polymarket_market_scan'.
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 'Intelligence only' (read-only, not actionable) and instructs to 'verify CLOB depth and resolution rules before acting', providing clear when-not and necessary follow-up.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single 12-word sentence that starts with the verb 'Validate' and directly states the resource and scope. Every word is informative and no redundancy; it is the model of conciseness.
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 one-parameter tool without an output schema, the description adequately covers purpose but misses return behavior (e.g., does it return boolean, errors, or a validation report?). Given low complexity, a 3 is appropriate—functional but not 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?
The schema has 100% coverage with a single parameter described as 'agent manifest as a JSON string'. The description adds meaning by listing the specific fields being validated (identity, endpoint, tools, pricing, payment), which helps the agent understand the parameter's content beyond a generic string.
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 validates an agent manifest, specifying five concrete fields (identity, endpoint, tools, pricing, payment). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like `check_agent_policy` or `find_agent_resource`, which serve different purposes.
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 this tool versus alternatives, nor when not to use it. Siblings like `check_agent_policy` might be related, but no comparison is provided. The description assumes the agent knows the context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vehicle_recallsBInspect
Search NHTSA vehicle recalls by make, model, or VIN. Campaign numbers, defect descriptions.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| vin | No | 17-char VIN | |
| make | No | e.g. Toyota | |
| model | No | e.g. Camry |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions 'search' suggests a read operation, but fails to elaborate on idempotency, side effects, or any constraints. The lack of detail on expected behavior (e.g., pagination, number of results) leaves significant gaps.
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, well-structured sentence that immediately conveys the core functionality. Every word serves a purpose, avoiding unnecessary detail while remaining clear. It is front-loaded and perfectly concise.
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 partially addresses return values with 'Campaign numbers, defect descriptions,' but this is vague. The tool's simplicity is offset by the lack of behavioral context (e.g., rate limits, data freshness). Overall, it covers the basics without being comprehensive.
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 (e.g., '17-char VIN', 'e.g. Toyota'). The tool description adds 'by make, model, or VIN' which mirrors the schema, and 'Campaign numbers, defect descriptions' hints at output but not parameter semantics. Since the schema is already informative, the description adds marginal value, 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 the tool's purpose: 'Search NHTSA vehicle recalls by make, model, or VIN.' It identifies the specific resource (NHTSA vehicle recalls) and the action (search), but it could better distinguish from sibling tools like product_recalls or drug_recalls by emphasizing vehicle specificity.
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 offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as product_recalls or drug_recalls. There is no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or preferred search strategies, leaving the AI agent without context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
water_levelsAInspect
Real-time USGS river/stream flow and flood data. Gauge height, discharge, percentiles by state.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| state | No | 2-letter state code | |
| parameter_code | No | USGS param code, default 00060 |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description is the sole source of behavior. It describes the tool as returning real-time data, which implies a read operation, but does not disclose rate limits, data freshness, or whether the data is cached. This is adequate for a simple query 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 a single concise sentence that includes the source (USGS), data types (gauge height, discharge, percentiles), and scope (by state). No unnecessary words.
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 query tool with two parameters and no output schema, the description adequately explains the return values (gauge height, discharge, percentiles). It could mention the response format or if filtering by state is mandatory, but overall it is sufficient.
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 parameters are already documented. The description adds 'by state' which aligns with the state parameter but does not elaborate on parameter_code or provide additional 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 states it provides real-time USGS river/stream flow data including gauge height, discharge, and percentiles by state. It distinguishes itself from siblings like tide_data or marine_conditions by specifying 'river/stream' data.
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 explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives like tide_data or weather_alerts. The description implies a context (USGS water data by state), but lacks when-not or alternative tool suggestions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
weather_alertsAInspect
Active NOAA NWS severe weather alerts — watches, warnings, advisories by state or zone.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| zone | No | NWS zone ID | |
| state | No | 2-letter state code e.g. CA |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It indicates a read operation (retrieving active alerts) but omits details like data freshness, rate limits, or response format. Adequate for a simple tool but not fully transparent.
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, well-structured sentence with no verbose or redundant phrasing. Every element 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 list tool with two optional parameters and no output schema, the description covers the core purpose and filtering scope. However, it could clarify the return format or alert types to be fully self-contained.
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% (zone and state have descriptions). The tool description paraphrases the parameter purpose ('by state or zone') but adds no new meaning beyond the schema. 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 retrieves active NOAA NWS severe weather alerts (watches, warnings, advisories) and specifies filtering by state or zone. This distinguishes it from sibling weather tools like weather_current_global or weather_forecast_grid.
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 fetching severe weather alerts but provides no explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternative sibling tools (e.g., weather_forecast_grid, weather_bias). No when-not-to-use or prerequisite info.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
weather_biasCInspect
Weather bias vs recent mean — uses Open-Meteo archive+forecast and ticker mapping for Kalshi HIGH* fade edge.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | Yes | NYC|CHI|MIA|LAX or lat,lon = NYC default | |
| model | No | Model name for provenance | |
| days_back | No | Days back for anomaly, default 7 |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are empty, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions data sources but fails to explain whether the tool is read-only, requires authentication, or what side effects exist. The output format is not described.
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, making it concise, but it is not well-structured. It begins with the concept 'Weather bias vs recent mean' rather than a clear action statement, and the jargon reduces clarity.
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 three parameters, no output schema, and empty annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not specify what the tool returns, how the bias is computed, or any prerequisites, leaving an agent guessing about the tool's full behavior.
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 adequate descriptions for all three parameters. The description adds context about the data sources and purpose, but does not significantly enhance the parameter explanations 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 hints at computing weather bias vs recent mean using Open-Meteo data and a ticker mapping for Kalshi, but it lacks a clear action verb and relies on domain jargon ('HIGH* fade edge'). It is vague and does not clearly differentiate from sibling weather 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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like weather_current_global or weather_forecast_grid. The description does not mention any specific use cases or exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
weather_current_globalCInspect

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| lat | Yes | ||
| lon | Yes | ||
| variables | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only states the basic purpose with no behavioral details beyond what annotations provide (which are empty). No mention of data sources, update frequency, or any limitations.
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?
A single concise sentence that front-loads the core purpose with no redundant information. Every word is necessary.
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 lack of output schema, zero parameter descriptions, and empty annotations, the tool is underspecified. The minimal description does not adequately prepare an agent to use the tool correctly.
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 input schema has 0% description coverage for its three parameters. The description adds no meaning to lat, lon, or variables, leaving the agent to infer all parameter semantics from type 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 'Current weather for any global coordinate.' clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb and resource, and it distinguishes from siblings like weather_alerts and weather_forecast_grid by focusing on current weather at a point.
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 this tool versus alternatives. Despite numerous sibling tools (e.g., weather_alerts, weather_forecast_grid), the description provides no contextual hints for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
weather_forecast_gridCInspect
Detailed NWS 7-day forecast for US lat/lon.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| lat | Yes | ||
| lon | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description bears the full burden of behavioral disclosure. While 'forecast' implies a read operation, no statements confirm non-destructiveness, rate limits, or caching behavior. The description is insufficient for an agent to assess safety implications.
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, concise sentence with essential keywords front-loaded. However, brevity sacrifices necessary detail (e.g., coordinate constraints). It earns a 4 for efficiency but could incorporate more information without becoming verbose.
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 simple tool (2 params, no annotations, no output schema), the description should be self-sufficient. It lacks parameter semantics, usage guidance, and behavioral details. Agent cannot reliably use it without external knowledge, especially among many weather-related siblings.
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 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions 'US lat/lon' but does not define valid ranges (e.g., latitude 25-50, longitude -125 to -65) or format expectations. The schema only declares type: number; the description adds minimal practical meaning.
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 a 'Detailed NWS 7-day forecast for US lat/lon', specifying the source (NWS), duration (7-day), and geographic scope (US). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like weather_alerts (alerts), weather_bias (bias analysis), and weather_current_global (current conditions globally).
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 explicit guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it does not differentiate from weather_current_global for current conditions or weather_alerts for warnings. The agent is left to infer context from sibling names.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
wildfiresCInspect

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max results, default 50 | |
| region | No | e.g. us-west, california |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions data source and fields but omits update frequency, rate limits, pagination, or read-only nature. Does not contradict annotations (which are empty).
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 is concise and front-loaded with the essential purpose. No wasted words, though could marginally benefit from more structure.
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, and description lists fields but does not explain output structure (e.g., units, format). Region parameter usage is vague. Adequately covers basic needs but lacks depth.
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 descriptions for both parameters. Description adds no new semantic information beyond what schema provides, so baseline 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?
Description clearly states it provides active wildfire detections from NASA FIRMS satellites, listing key data fields. It is specific about the resource and source, though does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like weather or earthquake 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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., other environmental tools). Lacks context on prerequisites or typical use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
x402_market_radarCInspect

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query_limit | No | Search results per tracked query, default 15 |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose whether the tool is read-only, any side effects, or access requirements. It only lists output components but does not clarify if it uses external APIs, requires authentication, or has rate limits. The behavioral context is insufficient.
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 effectively front-loads the tool's purpose and key output items. It is concise with no wasted words, though it could be slightly more structured with bullet points.
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 lack of output schema and annotations, the description should explain what the tool returns (e.g., format, structure). It lists output components but does not specify how they are presented or how to interpret results. The tool also fails to differentiate from many sibling tools.
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% for the single parameter 'query_limit', which is fully defined with min, max, and default. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, so a 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 states the tool is a 'CDP Bazaar radar' that provides 'live catalog size, AgentToll ranks, keyword gaps, vertical competition, price samples, and next actions.' This clearly indicates the purpose is market intelligence for x402 builders, but it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'x402_rank_audit', which likely overlaps.
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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like x402_rank_audit. There is no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or context where this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| keywords | No | ||
| resource | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With empty annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention mutability (implied read-only for an audit), authentication requirements, rate limits, or side effects. It only lists outputs, which is insufficient for full transparency.
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?
A single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the key action and resource, followed by a clear list of outputs. No wasted words.
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 has 3 parameters, no output schema, and empty annotations, the description provides a high-level understanding but lacks details on input format, parameter ranges, return structure, and behavioral constraints. It is adequate for a simple tool but not 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?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains that 'resource' refers to the x402 resource and 'keywords' are the buyer keywords, giving them semantic meaning beyond raw schema. However, 'limit' is not explained at all, leaving its purpose ambiguous.
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 ('Audit'), the specific resource ('x402 resource'), the context ('across buyer keywords'), and the outputs (Bazaar rank, competitors, defects, fixes). This differentiates it from sibling tools like x402_market_radar which likely provides market-level insights rather than per-resource audit.
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 this tool vs alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, when it is appropriate, or when to choose another tool like x402_market_radar. The description is purely functional.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
