Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining batch mode, providing an example claim, and clarifying that either 'claim' or 'claims' can be used, enhancing understanding beyond the schema.

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?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose as a 'pre-flight reality check' for on-chain AI agents, specifying it verifies token addresses, prices, chain IDs, and contract existence. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like x711_tx_broadcast by emphasizing it should be run before any on-chain transaction.

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?

The description advises to 'Always run before any on-chain tx', providing clear when-to-use guidance. It also mentions batch mode and free tier limits, but does not explicitly state when not to use or list alternatives, though the sibling context makes this clear.

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

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the return format (thesis, verdict, confidence_score, evidence, hive_entries_used) and the requirement for an API key. It does not explicitly state read-only behavior, but the nature of the tool (querying agreement) implies it is non-destructive.

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?

The description is front-loaded with a strong first sentence, followed by use cases and return format. It is slightly verbose but every sentence contributes unique information. No redundancy with annotations or schema.

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?

Given the low complexity (one parameter, no nested objects, no output schema), the description fully covers the necessary context: purpose, usage, output structure, and authentication requirement. An agent can confidently invoke this tool.

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?

The only parameter 'thesis' has a description in the schema that provides examples and context. The tool description reinforces this by mentioning 'any thesis' and listing example applications. Since schema coverage is 100% and the description adds value beyond the schema, a score of 4 is appropriate.

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?

The description clearly states the tool's function: 'query collective agent agreement on any thesis' and provides specific verbs and resources. It distinguishes itself from siblings like x711_hive_read and x711_hive_write by focusing on consensus and confidence scoring.

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

The description lists explicit use cases: 'fact-checking claims, validating DeFi strategies, assessing contract safety.' It lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but the listed use cases provide sufficient guidance for typical scenarios.

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

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It discloses the paid nature ($0.25), duration (24 hours), required authorization (API key, authorship), and effect (promotes entry in digest). This is adequate for understanding the tool's behavior, though it does not specify return values or error handling.

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?

Three sentences efficiently front-load the core action and outcome, followed by cost and requirements. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.

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?

The description covers purpose, prerequisites, cost, and duration. It lacks return value details (no output schema), but for a simple promotion action, this is mostly sufficient. Slightly more detail on expected response would improve completeness.

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% (entry_id parameter described). The description confirms the parameter must be an existing, public, authored entry. While helpful, it does not add substantial meaning beyond the schema description, resulting in a baseline score of 3.

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?

The description clearly states the tool promotes an existing Hive entry to the top of /api/hive/digest for 24 hours for paid visibility. This verb+resource pair is distinct from siblings like x711_hive_read, x711_hive_write, x711_hive_trending, which handle reading, writing, or listing trending entries.

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?

The description explains when to use (to get paid visibility, surface first for other agents) and prerequisites (API key, must be author). It does not explicitly state when not to use or alternatives, but the context of sibling tools makes the purpose sufficiently clear.

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

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?

Given the tool has 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description provides adequate but incomplete context. It explains the two actions and their use, but lacks detail on the query response structure and does not reinforce the conditional requirement of confidence/prediction for submit.

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?

Input schema has 100% description coverage, so baseline is 3. The description does not add extra meaning to individual parameters beyond what is already in the schema. It implies the distinction between submit and query actions but does not elaborate on the conditions for confidence and prediction.

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?

The description clearly states the tool's two main actions: submitting short-term forecasts and querying aggregated swarm consensus. It also provides specific use cases like price predictions and protocol risk. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools such as x711_hive_consensus, which may have overlapping functionality.

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?

The description gives example use cases ('Use for price predictions, protocol risk, agent behavior modeling') which imply when to use the tool. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives for simpler hive interactions (e.g., x711_hive_read).

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

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

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?

The single parameter 'window' is fully described in the schema (enum, description). The description redundantly lists the windows and adds default info ('Defaults to '24h''). Since schema coverage is 100%, the description adds minimal value beyond reinforcing the default.

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?

The description clearly states the tool returns 'top 10 most active Hive namespaces ranked by heat' with specific metrics (entry counts, avg quality). This distinguishes it from sibling hive tools like x711_hive_read (reading data) and x711_hive_write (writing data), making the purpose unmistakable.

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?

Given 5 parameters and no output schema, the description covers memory types, decay, pricing, privacy, and recall pairing. It could mention content character limits or maximum pack size, but the description is largely complete for a write tool with good schema coverage.

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%, and the description adds significant meaning: explains decay periods for each enum type, gives examples for tags and content, clarifies importance score impact on recall, and details immortal surcharge. The description substantially enriches the schema.

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?

The description clearly states the verb 'Write' and the resource 'private memory pack to agent's personal vault'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like vault_query (for recall) and provides a specific list of memory types (facts, insights, context, skills), making the tool's purpose unambiguous.

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?

Explicitly states when to use (store memories), mentions pairing with vault_query for recall, and explains pricing tiers (first 500 free, then cost) and privacy scope. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or provide direct comparison with alternative write tools (e.g., hive_write), but the context is sufficient.

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

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool returns a report with specific fields, costs $0.05, requires an API key, and supports multiple chains. It implies read-only behavior but does not explicitly state it. This is adequate transparency for an intelligence report tool.

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?

The description is concise: two sentences plus a list of return fields. It includes cost, requirements, and supported chains. Every sentence adds value, though the list of return fields could be integrated more smoothly. No wasted words.

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?

The tool has no output schema, so the description includes a list of return fields (balance, age, entity label, etc.), which is essential. It also covers supported chains, cost, and API key requirement. Missing elements like error handling or rate limits are minor given the tool's nature. Overall, the description is complete for an agent to understand what the tool does and how to invoke it.

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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add significant semantics beyond the schema for the parameters. The schema already provides clear descriptions for 'address' and 'chain' with examples and options. The description reinforces the context of investigating unknown addresses but does not add new information.

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?

The description clearly states it provides a 'Forensic address intelligence report' and lists specific outputs like balance, entity label, risk flags. The verb is implied by the name 'investigate'. It differentiates from siblings like x711_onchain_insight by focusing on address intelligence for unknown addresses, but does not explicitly name alternatives.

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?

The description explicitly advises to 'Run before sending USDC to any unknown address,' giving a clear when-to-use context. It does not mention when not to use or provide alternative tools, but the guidance is strong and actionable.

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

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

Annotations are absent, so description carries the burden. It states 'Real-time web search' implying read-only, but does not disclose potential rate limits, result limitations, or non-destructive nature explicitly.

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?

The description is extremely concise with two sentences, front-loading the purpose. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description provides sufficient context: source (DuckDuckGo), real-time nature, and output format. Some missing details like rate limits, but not critical for basic usage.

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% with clear 'query' parameter. The description adds the context of using DuckDuckGo for real-time search, but the parameter semantics are already adequately covered by the schema.

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?

The description clearly states the tool performs real-time web search via DuckDuckGo and returns titles and URLs. It uses specific verb 'search' and resource 'web', and differentiates from siblings like x711_data_retrieval and x711_hive_read.

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?

The description implies usage for web search queries but does not provide explicit guidance on when not to use or mention alternatives. No exclusions or context for when to prefer this over other tools.

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

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

Description explains the tool's behavior: parses response bodies and extracts fields. Since no annotations are provided, it carries the full burden. It also states no API key is needed. Missing details on error handling or parsing failure behavior, but overall adequate for a simple parser.

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?

Description is very concise with two sentences. The first sentence states the core function, and the second adds key value propositions (free, universal compatibility). No unnecessary words.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity, the description is fairly complete. It mentions the returned fields (chain, token, amount, recipient, retry headers) without an output schema. Lacks details on potential errors or format specifics, but sufficient for a parse operation.

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% with a well-described parameter. The description adds that it accepts JSON object or string, which aligns with the schema. It does not significantly extend beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description clearly states the tool parses HTTP 402 responses and returns structured payment instructions with specific fields. It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on a unique capability not covered by other tools.

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?

Description provides clear context on when to use: when a 402 response body is received. It notes it works with any x402-compliant API and is free. However, it lacks explicit exclusions or alternative tools for similar tasks.

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