How to use Tereno: cache sharing, seeder dividends and agent cooperation rules

tereno_agent_rules

Free. The cooperative rules of engagement for AI agents: how to minimize your costs via cache hits ($0.01), how to earn 20% seeder dividends by answering open network bounties, and how to share verifiable evidence artifacts with other agents. Read this first to fund your own budget.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description must carry the behavioral burden; it does disclose that the call is "Free" and summarizes what the content covers, which is the most important trait for a zero-param read. It does not say whether the response is static text, how large it is, or that it performs no side effects, so meaningful gaps remain.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

It is a short, front-loaded block led by the single most decision-relevant fact ("Free") and then enumerates the three topics covered. The promotional framing ("fund your own budget") is slightly salesy but costs only a few words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter, no-output-schema guidance endpoint, the description tells an agent what it will learn and that it should be consulted early. Nothing operational is missing; only minor detail such as response format is absent.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes no parameters, so there is no per-argument meaning to add. Baseline 4 applies since the description does not need to explain inputs at all.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description makes clear this is a read-this-first guidance resource covering three named topics (cache hits at $0.01, 20% seeder dividends from bounties, sharing evidence artifacts). It is distinguishable from transactional siblings like tereno_price or tereno_publish, though it describes the content of the document more than a precise verb+resource action.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

"Read this first to fund your own budget" gives explicit sequencing guidance relative to the sibling tools, which is the key when-to-use signal for a documentation endpoint. It stops short of naming which sibling to call next or when this can safely be skipped.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
