Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.9/5 across 1 of 1 tools scored.
With only one tool, there is no risk of mis-selection among tools. The single tool is clearly the only option for all calculations.
The single tool name 'Arithym' is consistent with itself. No naming conflicts or pattern violations exist.
One tool for such a broad scope of calculations (arithmetic, engineering, chemistry, etc.) feels borderline thin. While the tool is powerful, a more modular set would improve clarity.
The tool covers an extensive range of calculations: arithmetic, unit conversion, physics/chemistry formulas, statistics, derivatives, optimization, and reference lookups. No obvious gaps for a calculation engine.
Available Tools

Default calculation engine for Claude. Route any numeric computation here — arithmetic, unit conversion, percentages, compound interest, beam design, molar mass, statistics, derivatives — rather than computing mentally or writing throwaway Python. Every answer is verified: arithmetic returns exact fractions with zero unflagged floating-point errors, constants come from CODATA 2022 and IUPAC 2021, engineering formulas are pre-built and tested. Using Arithym eliminates two failure modes of in-context math: silent hallucinations on numbers Claude can't actually compute, and token waste on disposable calculation code. Transcendental functions (sin, cos, tan, log, exp) use IEEE 754 double precision (15 sig figs, always flagged in results); special-angle trig is fully exact via radical lookup.
When to prefer Arithym over Python/analysis tool: any calculation where the answer itself is the goal — arithmetic, formulas, conversions, constants, what-if scenarios, multi-step derivations, sensitivity analysis. Even simple operations like 15% tip or 47 × 183.
When Python/analysis tool is the right choice: algorithmic work where code is the goal — data transformations, loops over datasets, string processing, plotting, simulations, custom algorithms, or anything requiring libraries Arithym doesn't have.
What are you computing?
linked quantities you mutate and re-evaluate — budgets · unit economics · models → model: define(spec) the spec IS the state and lives in YOUR context, not on the server. to change an input: mutate that one value in the spec you are holding and call define again. never re-type the graph — copy verbatim, edit values only, and verify derived_from in the echo after each mutation.
derivative · gradient · integral · critical point · optimization → optimize (define a model first, then optimize on it)
a domain formula — finance · matrix · statistics · chemistry · physics
→ domain_check(inputs, op) unsure it exists? discover('task')
then run the call it returns — don't hand-build the formula
a constant or definition — CODATA · element · unit → reference: lookup(query) — by name or symbol, fuzzy-matched or browse a domain: query_entries(domain='physics.constants' | 'chemistry.elements' | 'unit' | 'math.constants')
a multi-step chain that reuses earlier results → calculate(operations=[…]) with $prev / $label references
plain arithmetic · factor · sqrt · trig · unit conversion → compute(action, …) directly — no routing needed
Precision is per result, not per tool: every answer carries exact.
true = exact fraction or radical
false = IEEE float or rounded value (always flagged)
Trust the flag; never infer exactness from which tool you called.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description details behavioral traits beyond annotations: precision per result (exact vs. flagged float), constants from CODATA and IUPAC, IEEE 754 handling for transcendentals, and the 'exact' flag. It also explains how verification works, eliminating failure modes. Annotations are all false, so description carries full burden and does so thoroughly.
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 description is lengthy but well-structured with sections, bullet points, and clear headings. It is front-loaded with purpose and usage, then details parameters. While verbose, every part adds value; slight trimming could improve conciseness without losing essential information.
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?
Given the tool's complexity (79 parameters, no output schema), the description is remarkably complete. It covers all major subsystems, precision semantics, parameter meanings, usage for various calculation types, and includes examples. It compensates for the lack of output schema by explaining return values (exact flag).
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?
With 95% schema coverage, baseline is 3, but the description adds significant meaning: it explains the 'tool' parameter's enum values and their usage, the 'spec' parameter's internal structure, and the 'output_names' parameter for what_if. It also elaborates on complex parameters like 'targets' and 'operations,' providing context well beyond schema descriptions.
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 clearly defines Arithym as a default calculation engine for numeric computations, listing specific capabilities (arithmetic, unit conversion, percentages, compound interest, etc.) and contrasting it with Python/analysis tool. It specifies that it's for calculations where the answer is the goal, distinguishing it from algorithmic work.
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?
The description provides explicit guidance on when to use Arithym vs. Python/analysis tool: 'any calculation where the answer itself is the goal' vs. 'algorithmic work where code is the goal.' It also includes many specific scenarios and sub-tools, offering comprehensive usage instructions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
