Input schema / properties / value / descriptionRemoved value: -"Value to process"Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full burden; it does add real behavioral context by disclosing the pricing/auth model ("5 free trial calls per signed wallet"). However, it never states the return shape (boolean true/false versus a numeric result), how single-digit or palindromic primes (2, 11) are treated, or what happens on invalid input.
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 core definition is front-loaded in one sentence and wastes no words. The trailing "Provide value" fragment and the emoji pricing tag are slightly noisy but short enough not to detract materially.
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?
With no annotations, no output schema, and an undocumented parameter, the description should cover return format and input constraints — neither is present. An agent can guess this returns a boolean verdict, but nothing in the definition confirms it or bounds the accepted input.
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 0% for the single `value` parameter, so the description must compensate and it does not: "Provide value" conveys nothing about expected format (string-encoded integer?), sign, magnitude limits, or leading zeros. The domain definition of emirp implies the number must be a positive integer, but that must be inferred rather than read.
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 gives a specific verb and resource and even defines the mathematical property precisely ("a prime whose reversal is also a different prime"), so an agent knows exactly what is being tested. It does not distinguish itself from close siblings such as x402-is-emirp-number, x402-is-prime, or x402-is-palindromic-prime, which is the only thing keeping it below a 5.
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?
There is no guidance on when to pick this tool over the many adjacent primality tools in the catalog, and no stated prerequisites or exclusions. The only call-to-action is "Provide value," which is an instruction about the parameter, not about usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
