Social Stats

social_stats
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch social media stats for a coin by CoinDesk Data (formerly CryptoCompare) coinId: Twitter followers, Reddit subscribers, Facebook likes, GitHub activity. Requires your own CoinDesk Data API key.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
coinIdYes
_apiKeyYesYour own CoinDesk Data (formerly CryptoCompare) API key — required, Pipeworx does not supply one for this pack. Free signup: https://developers.coindesk.com/. Without a key, use the `crypto` pack (get_crypto_price) for prices/daily history or `crypto-feeds` for news instead.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world behavior, so safety is covered. The description adds genuinely useful disclosure beyond that: the operation requires the caller's own third-party API key and the data is sourced from CoinDesk Data (formerly CryptoCompare), which explains identity and auth expectations. No rate limits or error behavior are mentioned, but that is a minor gap given annotation coverage.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences, zero filler, front-loaded with the verb and resource before the supporting detail. The return-field enumeration and the API-key prerequisite are both dense with information an agent needs.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value documentation is not required, yet the description still previews the metrics. For a two-parameter read tool with full annotation coverage, the remaining gaps — how to obtain a coinId, behavior on invalid ids or missing key — are small.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 50%: _apiKey is well documented but coinId is bare. The description compensates for exactly that gap by pinning coinId to the CoinDesk Data/CryptoCompare namespace, steering the agent away from CoinGecko-style ids. It still doesn't state the id's format or where to look one up (e.g., all_coins), so compensation is partial.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Specific verb ('Fetch') plus a precisely scoped resource ('social media stats for a coin'), and it enumerates the returned metrics (Twitter followers, Reddit subscribers, Facebook likes, GitHub activity). The CoinDesk Data/CryptoCompare coinId qualifier and the social-data subject cleanly separate it from price, histo_*, and news siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description establishes clear context and a hard prerequisite: an agent-supplied CoinDesk Data API key, which prevents a failed attempt at a keyless call. It stops short of naming alternatives or exclusions within the description itself (the fallback to the `crypto`/`crypto-feeds` packs lives in the schema's _apiKey text).

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