coingecko_category_coins

List coins in a CoinGecko category by slug, with paging, quote currency selection, and metrics like rank, price, changes, volume, and market cap.

Instructions

CoinGecko category coins. Lists the coins in one CoinGecko category, identified by the required slug such as stablecoins. Paged with page (default 1) and limit (default and max 100), priced in vs_currency. Each coin has rank, symbol, price, 1h to 30d changes, 24h volume, market cap and fully diluted valuation.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does well: it discloses the read-listing nature, pagination semantics (page default 1, limit default/max 100), the quoting currency, and the exact fields returned (rank, symbol, price, changes, volume, market cap, FDV). It stops short of rate limits or auth requirements, but nothing about the behavior is misleading.

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?

Three front-loaded sentences with no filler: identity/scope first, then the required identifier, then paging and pricing, then return fields. Every sentence adds information.

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

Completeness5/5

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

No output schema exists, so the description correctly compensates by enumerating the returned fields, and it covers paging and currency selection. For a read-only, four-parameter listing tool with no annotations, nothing an agent needs in order to call it correctly is missing.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all four parameters; the description largely restates the defaults and max that the schema already provides, plus an example slug value. Per calibration, baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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?

States a specific verb (lists) and resource (coins in one CoinGecko category), and the scope ('one category') implicitly distinguishes it from coingecko_categories (which lists categories) and coingecko_coin (a single coin). An agent can tell what it returns without opening the schema.

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?

Usage is implied: it explains the tool needs a category `slug` such as `stablecoins`, which tells the agent when it applies. However, it never names alternatives (e.g. coingecko_categories to discover slugs, coingecko_coin for a single asset) or states any exclusion, so routing is left to inference.

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