make_paystack_request

Execute any Paystack API operation by specifying HTTP method, path, and optional request data.

Instructions

Make a Paystack API request using the details of the operation. Be sure to get all operation details including method, path path parameters, query parameters, and request body before making a call.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations provide no safety hints (readOnly/destructive), and the description does not mention side effects, auth requirements, or response behavior. For a tool that can make arbitrary HTTP requests, this lack of transparency is a significant gap.

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?

Two sentences: first states purpose, second gives usage instruction. No fluff, front-loaded, and every sentence adds value.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite being a generic HTTP client with complex nested parameters and no output schema, the description omits key details like expected return value, error handling, base URL, and authentication context. More context is needed for safe and correct use.

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 descriptions cover 0% of parameters, but the description adds context by listing 'method, path path parameters, query parameters, and request body'. However, it does not explain the 'request' wrapper or 'data' structure fully.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states the tool's function as 'Make a Paystack API request', distinguishing it from the sibling tool 'get_paystack_operation' which likely retrieves operation details. The purpose is specific and actionable.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Description advises to 'get all operation details' before making a call, implicitly recommending use of the sibling tool. This provides clear usage context for the intended workflow.

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