Farcaster Kit

farcaster_kit
Idempotent

Farcaster from zero: first casts, frame spec, launch checklist in one fill-in template with a signed receipt. On Nostr instead: nostr_kit. agent_wallet optional, on the receipt. POST to paid_url with an x402 v2 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header. See https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402 Paid tool — $0.25, USDC on Base or Arbitrum One. Paid URL: https://aemb.pro/v1/kits/farcaster.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idempotency_keyYesClient-generated UUID v4, one per logical request. Replaying the same key on the same tool returns the original receipt.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
howYesHow to pay: POST the tool inputs as JSON to paid_url with an x402 v2 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header
toolYesTool name, e.g. check_url_custom
assetYesSettlement asset
priceYesExact price, e.g. "$0.25"
networksYesEVM CAIP-2 network ids accepted
paid_urlYesx402-paid HTTPS URL to POST the tool inputs to
facilitatorYesx402 facilitator
payment_requiredYesAlways true: this MCP tool is a payment pointer; the tool itself is monetized via x402.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare the mutation/idempotency profile, and the description adds genuinely new context: this is a metered paid call at a fixed $0.25 price, requires an x402 payment-signature header, and names the concrete endpoint. That payment/auth requirement is the kind of trait annotations cannot express. It does not describe what the signed receipt contains or what happens if payment fails, which keeps it at 4.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The endpoint, price, and payment header are front-loaded and useful, but the prose reads as stacked fragments ('agent_wallet optional, on the receipt') inserted in an awkward position, and a docs URL plus a repeated paid URL both appear. Every element is relevant, but the ordering makes the payment mechanics harder to parse than necessary.

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

Completeness3/5

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 not be explained, and the payment path is covered. What remains unclear is the actual artifact — whether the agent receives a document body, a link, or a template ID — and the mention of agent_wallet muddies the contract. Adequate to invoke, thin on what the caller should expect.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The only real parameter, idempotency_key, is fully documented in the schema (100% coverage), so the baseline would be 3. But the description instead introduces 'agent_wallet optional, on the receipt' — a field that does not exist in the schema, which sets additionalProperties false. That reference is at best confusing and at worst misleading about what the agent should send.

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 states the deliverable concretely: a fill-in template covering first casts, frame spec, and a launch checklist, delivered with a signed receipt. It also names the sibling it substitutes for (nostr_kit), so an agent can pick between the two Farcaster/Nostr kits. The verb is implicit (you buy/fetch a kit rather than perform an action), which keeps it short of a 5.

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?

It routes explicitly to the alternative: 'On Nostr instead: nostr_kit'. It also gives the practical precondition for calling — POST to the paid URL with an x402 v2 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header, $0.25 USDC on Base or Arbitrum One. It stops short of saying when a Farcaster kit is the right purchase versus research_paper or trust_report, so no exclusion guidance beyond the Nostr swap.

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