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, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose two behavioral facts: the result is a boolean and calls are metered (5 free per signed wallet). It still omits error behavior for non-integer or negative input and any hint that the wallet/trial constraint gates invocation, so the disclosure is partial.
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?
Front-loaded with the operation and a compact definition, with no wasted preamble. The trailing emoji pricing banner is promotional noise rather than task-relevant content, but it is brief.
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?
For a tool with no annotations, no output schema, and a completely undocumented parameter, the description is too thin. It also fails to route the agent among the three overlapping perfect-number siblings, leaving the core selection decision unresolved.
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% and the single 'value' parameter has no description, so the description is the only source of meaning. It implies the input is an integer, which is useful, but it does not explain the string-typed schema, accepted formats, or ranges, leaving a gap between the stated type and the declared 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?
States a concrete verb and resource ('Checks whether an integer equals the sum of its proper divisors') and even names the return type, so the mathematical operation is unambiguous. However, it does nothing to distinguish itself from the near-identical siblings x402-is-perfect-num, x402-is-perfect-number, and x402-perfect-numbers, which an agent must disambiguate by name 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?
There is no when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no mention of the three sibling tools that perform the same check. The only conditional text ('5 free trial calls per signed wallet') concerns pricing, not task selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
