Implementation Reference

  • Generic execution handler for all API tools, including evm_getnftsaleprices. Constructs and sends HTTP request to Moralis EVM API endpoint, handles auth with MORALIS_API_KEY, validates input with Zod from JSON schema, formats JSON response.

    },
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states what metrics are returned (last/lowest/highest sale, average, total trades). It doesn't disclose behavioral traits like rate limits, authentication needs, error conditions, data freshness, or whether it's a read-only operation. The description is functional but lacks operational context.

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?

The description is perfectly concise with two sentences: one stating the purpose and parameters, another listing the returned metrics. Every word earns its place with zero waste, and information is front-loaded appropriately.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a tool with 4 parameters, 100% schema coverage, but no annotations or output schema, the description adequately covers the basic purpose and return metrics. However, it lacks context about the tool's behavior, error handling, and practical usage scenarios that would be helpful given the complexity of NFT price data.

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 parameters are well-documented in the schema. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema by implying the 'days' parameter affects the aggregation period, but doesn't explain parameter interactions or provide additional context. 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?

The description clearly states the specific action ('Fetch sale prices'), target resource ('for a specific NFT'), and scope ('over a specified number of days'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'evm_getnftcollectionstats' (collection-level) and 'evm_getnfttrades' (raw trades) by focusing on aggregated price metrics for a single NFT.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'evm_getnftcontractsaleprices' (contract-level) or 'evm_getnfttrades' (transaction-level). It mentions the time period parameter but doesn't explain use cases, prerequisites, or comparisons with sibling tools.

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