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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does meaningful work: it enumerates the bundled checks (honeypot/sellability simulation, owner-renounced, mint/pause/blacklist/fee-setter/proxy checks, Uniswap v3 WETH liquidity) and discloses the payment/auth requirement ('$0.01 USDC per call via x402'). It omits rate limits or any note on data freshness, keeping it just short of a 5.

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?

Front-loaded with the core purpose in the first clause, then the output verdict, then the bundled checks and cost. It is dense and somewhat run-on, but every clause carries information an agent needs (verdict vocabulary, risk scale, payment model).

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 specifies the return shape (verdict enum, 0-100 risk_score, reasons, liquidity in USD) and the cost model. For a single-param read tool with no annotations, that covers what an agent needs to invoke and interpret it 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 100% for the single 'token' parameter, so the schema already documents the 0x address format. The description only reinforces the chain constraint ('Base ERC-20'), adding little beyond structured data — the baseline 3 for a well-covered single-param tool.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Token security check (honeypot detector + rug-pull risk score) for a Base ERC-20') and even names the deliverable ('SAFE | CAUTION | AVOID plus risk_score'). It does not, however, differentiate itself from the near-identical sibling chain_token_security (and the *_preview variants), leaving ambiguity about which contract-security tool to pick.

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?

'Replaces many RPC calls and prevents a bad trade' implies the use case (pre-trade safety screening) but never states explicitly when to call this versus chain_token_security or the preview siblings. No exclusions, prerequisites, or alternatives are given, so usage is inferred rather than stated.

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