+}Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses one useful trait (output preserves first-seen order) and hints at a wallet-signing/payment requirement, but omits input handling details (how the array is supplied), duplicate-equality semantics, and behavior on empty or malformed 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?
One tight sentence with the core behavior front-loaded; the trailing emoji/trial note is mildly promotional but short. No wasted exposition.
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 one-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description should at minimum resolve the input format and return shape. It resolves neither, so an agent cannot reliably construct a call from the definition alone.
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?
The single parameter 'values' has no schema description (0% coverage) and the description does not explain its format. Worse, the description implies an array input while the schema declares type 'string', leaving the agent unsure whether to pass "a,b,c" or "[1,2,3]".
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?
Names a specific verb and resource ('Returns the distinct values of an array') and adds a distinguishing semantic detail ('in first-seen order'), which separates it from ordering-agnostic siblings like x402-remove-duplicates or x402-unique-count. It does not, however, explicitly contrast itself with those close siblings.
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 or when-not-to-use guidance at all. The only extra context is a pricing/trial note ('5 free trial calls per signed wallet'), which says nothing about when this tool should be chosen over x402-dedupe, x402-remove-duplicates, or x402-unique-lines.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
