explain_inscription_listing_security

Analyze Bitcoin inscription listings for snipe resistance by examining PSBT sighash types and mempool vulnerabilities, providing remediation steps for developers and marketplace operators.

Instructions

Explain in plain language whether an ordinals inscription listing is snipe-resistant.

Analyzes the PSBT and returns a human-readable explanation of:

  • Whether the listing can be front-run in the mempool

  • What sighash type each input uses and why it matters

  • Specific remediation steps if the listing is vulnerable

Use this when you need a clear explanation for a developer or marketplace operator rather than raw analysis data.

Args: psbt_hex: Hex-encoded PSBT string (BIP 174 v0)

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It adequately discloses the analysis scope (front-running, sighash types, remediation) but lacks explicit disclosure of safety characteristics (read-only status), authorization requirements, or rate limiting that would be essential for a complete behavioral profile.

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?

Well-structured with front-loaded purpose, followed by specific analytical outputs in a scannable list, and usage guidance. The 'Args:' section is necessary given the schema's lack of descriptions, though slightly formal. No redundant or wasted sentences.

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?

Appropriately complete given the existence of an output schema (which handles return value details). The description covers the domain-specific context (ordinals, snipe-resistance, mempool front-running) necessary to understand the tool's utility without over-exploring implementation details.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Given 0% schema description coverage, the description excellently compensates by specifying the encoding (hex), format (PSBT), and technical standard (BIP 174 v0), providing crucial semantic context entirely absent from the schema's bare 'title' field.

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?

The description clearly states the specific action (explain in plain language) and resource (ordinals inscription listing snipe-resistance) with precise scope. It effectively distinguishes from sibling 'analyze_psbt_security' by emphasizing 'plain language' and 'human-readable' versus technical/raw analysis.

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?

Explicitly states when to use ('when you need a clear explanation for a developer or marketplace operator') and contrasts with alternatives ('rather than raw analysis data'). However, it does not explicitly name the sibling tool (analyze_psbt_security) that provides the raw alternative.

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