GPU Economy - cloud GPU prices

What a provider is and how it is read

provider_info
Read-only

One provider: its type (hyperscaler, specialist GPU cloud or marketplace), the regions or tiers it names, how GPU Economy reads its prices (pricing page, API or rendered page), how many GPU models and live quotes it has, a one-line note for a reader, its cheapest on-demand rate per card, and what it bills beyond the GPU-hour where read (what the rate includes, data out, storage, stopped instances, billing step). Links its GPU Economy page.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds modestly useful context by disclosing data provenance ('how GPU Economy reads its prices (pricing page, API or rendered page)') and the 'where read' qualifier implying fields may be absent, but says nothing about unknown-provider handling or freshness.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

One dense but front-loaded sentence that enumerates the returned content with no filler; the profile contents come first and the trailing externally-hosted page link is the only extra. It is long but every clause maps to a field an agent would care about.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a one-parameter read tool with an output schema and read-only annotations, this is largely complete — and it even pre-describes return fields the output schema already covers. Only the routing against sibling provider tools is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the single `provider` parameter is already documented with format examples in the schema. The description adds no syntax or matching guidance beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description plus title make clear this returns a profile of a single provider — its type, coverage, pricing-read method, model/quote counts, cheapest rate and extra billing items. It is a specific resource with a clear scope, but it never distinguishes itself from siblings like compare_providers or provider_prices, so an agent must infer the boundary.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use statement, and no alternatives are named. The agent is left to infer that this is the single-provider detail lookup and that compare_providers/provider_prices cover the multi-provider and price-only cases.

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