kyb_verify_agent

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

No annotations provided. Description mentions verification of identity and authorization, implying a read-only check, but does not disclose side effects, rate limits, or authentication requirements.

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?

Single, well-front-loaded sentence. However, it wastes the opportunity to include parameter details.

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 no output schema or annotations, the description fails to explain return values, prerequisites, or error conditions. A verification tool should describe what happens on success/failure.

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 has 0% description coverage and 2 required string parameters (agent_id, owner_address). Description does not explain what these parameters represent, leaving interpretation to the agent.

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?

Description clearly states the tool's purpose: verifying AI agent identity, ownership proof, and on-chain authorization. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'kyb_verify_business'.

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?

Description implies use for AI agents but lacks explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives (e.g., kyb_verify_business). No 'when not to use' stated.

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