get_defi_strategies

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It implies an external fetch (via 'scrape') but does not state that it is read-only, whether it returns live data, or any rate-limit/auth constraints. This is a significant gap for an agent deciding between read and write tools.

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 a single sentence and, if anything, too brief. It front-loads the action but omits important context such as return value or typical usage, making it under-specified rather than efficiently concise.

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?

The description is minimal: no output schema is defined, no annotations exist, and the description fails to explain what the tool returns or when to use it relative to siblings like get_strategy_details. Given the low complexity of parameters, some additional context about the data returned would be expected.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% with both parameters (timeout, includeDetails) clearly described. The description adds no additional parameter context, but since the schema already documents them, the baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 action ('scrape') and the resource ('DeFi strategies from Puffer Finance'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_strategy_details or get_vaults. However, 'scrape' is slightly informal and does not clarify whether the result is a list or individual strategies, so it falls short of a 5.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, use cases, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer from the tool name alone.

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