No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses nothing about the computation's behavior: no output format (probability value?), no constraints (k ≤ n, 0 ≤ p ≤ 1), no handling of invalid input. The trial-call note is the only behavioral/access detail offered.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence naming the tool and its inputs, with zero padding. The appended free-trial note is the only non-essential content.
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 simple three-input math function with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the inputs adequately but omits the return value and any input validation rules. It is minimally viable rather than complete.
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%, so the description must compensate, and it partially does: it labels n as trials, k as successes, and p as success probability, giving real semantic meaning to otherwise bare string fields. However it adds no format or range information (values are typed as strings, and no bounds are stated).
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 ('Computes') and resource ('binomial probability mass') with the three inputs named. It is clear what it does, but it does not distinguish itself from near-siblings like x402-binomial, x402-binomial-coefficient, or x402-poisson-pmf, leaving an agent to infer the difference.
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 guidance on when to use this versus the many other binomial/probability tools in the catalog. The only extra sentence is a pricing note ('5 free trial calls per signed wallet'), which is access info, not usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
