get_crypto_loan_collateral_data

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

With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits, but it only states it's a read operation. It fails to mention authentication needs, rate limits, or what happens with invalid currency inputs.

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 extremely concise, comprising a single clear sentence and a small args section. Every word serves a purpose, with no redundancy or unnecessary detail.

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 simplicity (one optional param, no output schema), the description is minimally adequate. It specifies the returned data (LTV ratios, limits) and the filter, but lacks format details and error handling info.

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?

The description adds minimal meaning beyond the schema by describing the currency parameter as an optional filter. However, with 0% schema coverage, it only partially compensates; deeper semantics about filtering behavior are missing.

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 states the function is to get collateral coin data, specifying LTV ratios and limits. It uses a specific verb and resource, but does not explicitly differentiate among similar sibling tools like get_new_crypto_loan_collateral_data.

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?

No guidelines are provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_crypto_loan_loanable_data or other crypto loan tools. The description lacks context for usage, making it hard for an agent to choose appropriately.

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