Input schema / properties / value / descriptionRemoved value: -"Value to process"Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations at all, the description carries the full behavioral burden; it does disclose the concrete validation semantics (numeric range -90 to 90 inclusive, NaN rejected), which is genuinely useful. It stops short of stating the return shape (presumably boolean) or how non-numeric/non-string input is handled.
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 validation rule is front-loaded and tight, but the trailing '🆓 5 free trial calls per signed wallet' is promotional padding unrelated to correct invocation, diluting an otherwise efficient sentence.
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?
There are no annotations and no output schema, so the description should carry everything; it covers the validation rule but omits return type, error behavior for malformed input, and any distinction from the near-identical sibling x402-is-latitude. Adequate but with clear gaps.
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 0% - the single 'value' parameter is typed as string with no description - so the description must compensate, and it partially does by clarifying the value is treated as a number in a bounded range. It does not resolve the string-vs-number mismatch or specify expected input formats.
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?
States a specific verb ('Validates') and resource ('latitude'), and even specifies the accepted range -90 to 90 inclusive with NaN rejection. However, it does not distinguish itself from close siblings like x402-is-latitude and x402-is-longitude-valid, so the agent cannot be fully certain which to pick from the description alone.
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?
No when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no reference to the overlapping sibling x402-is-latitude. The only context is the validation rule itself, leaving the agent to infer the routing decision unaided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
