Jito tip floor

get_jito_tips
Read-onlyIdempotent

Jito tips sampled on-chain: p25 to p99 in SOL of the newest transfers into Jito's tip accounts, what landed bundles actually paid, refreshed every 5 minutes, with a landing recommendation. Costs 0.005 USDC per call (x402, USDC on Solana, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Arc).

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare this is a safe, idempotent read, so the bar is lower, yet the description still adds two behaviors annotations cannot express: a 5-minute refresh cadence (data staleness) and a 0.005 USDC per-call charge via x402 on five named chains (payment/auth requirement). Both are decision-relevant before an agent commits to calling.

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?

One sentence, front-loaded with the data content (percentile range, unit, source, cadence) and only then the cost clause. No filler and nothing redundant with the schema or annotations.

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

Completeness5/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation, and the description supplies the non-obvious operational facts an agent needs: freshness window and payment requirement. Nothing material is missing for a zero-parameter read tool.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate and the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly spends no words on inputs.

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?

The description states a specific resource and scope: 'Jito tips sampled on-chain: p25 to p99 in SOL of the newest transfers into Jito's tip accounts.' It also distinguishes the data source from a generic fee feed by specifying 'what landed bundles actually paid' and a refresh cadence, which is enough to separate it from siblings like get_priority_fees.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied rather than stated: the mention of 'a landing recommendation' signals the tool is for sizing tips to land bundles, but there is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance and no sibling is named as an alternative. The agent must infer the context from the resource itself.

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