a9n9_research_quoteQuote Deep ResearchA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Analyze a deep-research objective and return the exact current price, limits, planned start URLs, request hash, expiry, payment requirements, and cloud-browser capabilities without charging or starting a job. targetUrl is optional: omit it and the quote derives and binds a bounded plan of public start URLs from the objective.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
job_keyYesjob_key identifies a research session. Reuse it with a new objective to run a follow-up iteration that references the session's prior results (each iteration is a separate paid job); an identical request retries idempotently. Sessions are referenceable for 7 days, then results are cleared.
objectiveYes
targetUrlNoOptional public HTTPS focus hint; when omitted the service plans up to 5 public start URLs from the objective and binds them into the quote.
payer_addressNoOptional Tempo payer address for loyalty pricing: 10% off after $2.00 of reconciliation-confirmed on-chain spend from that address. Settlement must then come from it.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already mark this as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds meaningful behavior beyond annotations: no charge is incurred, no job is started, and omitting targetUrl causes the service to derive and bind a bounded plan of public start URLs from the objective.

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 with front-loaded purpose and no filler. Each clause contributes either output details, side-effect guarantees, or targetUrl behavior, making the description efficient and well-structured.

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?

Given the rich schema, annotations, output schema, and sibling tool names, the description is complete: it enumerates the quote's returned fields, clarifies the optional targetUrl behavior, and leaves no major ambiguity about the tool's role.

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 description coverage is 75% and the schema already details job_key, targetUrl, and payer_address. The description adds value by explaining that targetUrl is optional and that omitting it triggers plan derivation/binding, which enriches the schema's format-only definition.

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 uses a specific verb and resource ('Analyze a deep-research objective and return...') and lists concrete outputs: price, limits, planned start URLs, request hash, expiry, payment requirements, cloud-browser capabilities. It also distinguishes itself from siblings with 'without charging or starting a job.'

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 clearly establishes the quoting/planning use case and explains what happens when targetUrl is omitted. It does not explicitly name sibling alternatives or state when not to use it, but the 'without charging or starting a job' phrasing implies pre-flight use before research_start.

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

a9n9_research_startStart Paid Deep ResearchA
Idempotent
Inspect

Start bounded paid research in a real remotely hosted Browserbase Chromium session with JavaScript rendering, DOM interaction, scrolling, and dynamic-content extraction, followed by gpt-5.6-luna synthesis. targetUrl is optional; without it the quoted plan of public start URLs derived from the objective is executed. Call a9n9_research_quote first when price visibility is needed. The service does not bypass CAPTCHAs, logins, paywalls, access controls, or site terms.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
job_keyYesjob_key identifies a research session. Reuse it with a new objective to run a follow-up iteration that references the session's prior results (each iteration is a separate paid job); an identical request retries idempotently.

objectiveYes
targetUrlNoOptional public HTTPS focus hint; when omitted the service plans up to 5 public start URLs from the objective and binds them into the quote.
notify_emailNoOptional: email the completed report to this address from a9n9@agentmail.to. Delivery preference only; not part of the payment-bound request hash.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds behavioral context beyond annotations by specifying 'bounded paid research' and stating it does not bypass CAPTCHAs, logins, paywalls, access controls, or site terms. No contradiction with annotations; idempotency and open-world hints align with description.

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?

The description is concise (two sentences) and front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by key behavioral notes. Every word contributes, with no unnecessary detail.

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?

Covers the tool's purpose, key parameters, prerequisite (quote), and limitations, while relying on the output schema for return details. Sufficient for a complex paid research 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?

Description clarifies targetUrl's optional behavior and gives context to the objective parameter, which lacks a schema description. Adds meaning beyond the schema's per-parameter notes, compensating for the 80% coverage gap.

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 clearly states the action (start bounded paid research), the environment (real Browserbase Chromium session), and the process (interaction, extraction, synthesis). It distinguishes itself from siblings by naming quote as a prerequisite and implying a deeper scope than quick_search.

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?

Explicitly instructs to call a9n9_research_quote first for price visibility and explains the optional targetUrl behavior. Does not explicitly compare to all siblings, but the 'deep research' label and quote guidance provide sufficient context.

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

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds context about returning 'milestone progress' (indicating work in progress) and 'final result,' which is useful. However, it does not disclose behavior for invalid tracker codes, rate limits, or authentication requirements, which would be valuable.

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?

The description is a single sentence, front-loaded with the verb 'return' and the resource. Every word is necessary; there is no redundancy or fluff. It is optimally concise.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, output schema exists), the description covers the basic return content. However, it lacks usage context (when to call, prerequisites) and does not explain edge cases like pending results or errors. The output schema is present, so return structure details are not required, but the description is still incomplete for a new user.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%—no description for the trackerCode parameter. The description's phrase 'opaque tracker code' provides minimal semantics (it's a non-human-readable identifier) but does not explain how to obtain it or its format beyond the pattern. This is insufficient to fully compensate for the lack of parameter documentation.

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 clearly states the tool returns 'milestone progress and the final result for an opaque tracker code.' The verb 'return' and resource are specific, and the purpose is distinct from siblings like a9n9_research_start (starts research) and a9n9_research_submit_payment (payment).

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, such as needing a tracker code from a9n9_research_start, nor does it exclude misuse (e.g., before research is started). Usage is only implied by the tool name and sibling context.

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

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description reveals that the tool verifies an externally broadcast payment (not initiated by this tool) and continues a job, adding context beyond the annotations. The annotations already indicate idempotency (idempotentHint: true) and non-destructive (destructiveHint: false). The description does not contradict annotations and adds useful behavioral nuance about the separate broadcast step.

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?

The description is two sentences: the first states the purpose, the second provides instructions on what to provide. Both are front-loaded with essential information. No superfluous words, and every sentence adds value.

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?

Given the tool has 5 parameters (4 required, one nested object) and an output schema exists, the description covers the main inputs and prerequisite. However, it does not explain error handling, what happens if verification fails, or the overall flow beyond the immediate step. The confusing mention of 'walletPayment' (not in schema) also detracts. Adequate but not thorough.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is only 40% (2 of 5 params have descriptions). The description adds meaning for three parameters: job_key ('same job_key' implies matching the quote), payer_address (from broadcast), and transaction_hash (from broadcast). It does not mention notify_email, and there is a confusing mention of 'walletPayment' which is not in the input schema. The description partially compensates for low schema coverage but is incomplete.

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 clearly states the specific action: verifying a separately broadcast Tempo mainnet push-mode payment and continuing the quoted research job. It references the prerequisite tool (a9n9_research_quote) and lists the required inputs (transaction hash, payer address, job key). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like a9n9_research_quote or a9n9_research_start, which are different steps in the workflow.

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 explicitly tells the agent to use the paymentChallenge and walletPayment from a9n9_research_quote, establishing a clear prerequisite. It implies this tool should be used after quoting and before continuing the job. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives, which would make it stronger.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool serves a distinct purpose: free search, quote generation, paid research initiation, status tracking, and payment submission. No two tools overlap in functionality, and descriptions clearly differentiate their roles.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools share the 'a9n9_' prefix and use snake_case. However, the pattern varies slightly: 'quick_search' uses adjective_noun, while others mix noun_noun and verb_noun constructions. The inconsistency is minor and does not hinder readability.

Tool Count5/5

Five tools cover the essential stages of the research service (free search, quoting, payment, start, status) without unnecessary redundancy. The count is well-scoped for the domain.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers the main workflow end-to-end. A minor gap is the lack of a tool to list or cancel past research jobs, but the core lifecycle (quote, pay, start, status) is fully represented.
