crypto.gas-oracle

Get live gas price estimates for EVM chains including Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Returns slow, standard, and fast tiers based on recent priority-fee percentiles.

Instructions

Live EVM gas oracle. Returns slow/standard/fast tiers derived from priority-fee percentiles over the trailing 4 blocks plus a 21,000-gas transfer cost estimate. Chains: base, ethereum, polygon, arbitrum, optimism.

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses source (priority-fee percentiles over trailing 4 blocks) and includes transfer cost. Could mention read-only nature.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences; front-loaded with purpose and key details. No unnecessary 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?

Given one parameter and no output schema, description covers what is returned and which chains are supported. Could mention it is a read-only operation.

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?

Schema has no descriptions (0% coverage). Description compensates by listing supported chains (base, ethereum, polygon, arbitrum, optimism), adding meaning beyond schema defaults.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Description clearly states the tool is a live EVM gas oracle returning slow/standard/fast tiers and a 21k gas transfer cost, and lists supported chains. It distinguishes from related crypto tools.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Implies usage for gas estimation but does not explicitly state when to use or avoid this tool vs alternatives. Context is clear but lacks explicit guidance.

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