Implementation Reference

  • Core handler function that executes the swap of EDU for tokens on SailFish DEX using Uniswap V3 SwapRouter. Handles both direct and multi-hop routes.

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 offers minimal behavioral insight. It implies a financial transaction but doesn't disclose critical traits like whether it's irreversible, requires network fees, has rate limits, returns transaction hash, or involves on-chain execution. For a swap tool with sensitive parameters like privateKey, this 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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that immediately conveys the core action without any wasted words. It's appropriately sized for the tool's complexity and front-loads the essential information.

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?

For a financial swap tool with 5 parameters (including sensitive privateKey) and no annotations or output schema, the description is insufficient. It lacks information about transaction behavior, error conditions, return values, security implications, and how it differs from sibling swap tools, leaving critical gaps for agent understanding.

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 itself. The description adds no additional parameter context beyond implying the swap direction (EDU→tokens), which aligns with parameter names but doesn't enhance semantics. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

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?

The description clearly states the action ('Swap') and resources involved ('EDU for tokens on SailFish DEX'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'swap_tokens' or 'swap_tokens_for_edu', which would require mentioning the specific direction (EDU→tokens) to achieve full distinction.

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?

No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description doesn't mention prerequisites (like needing EDU balance), compare with 'swap_tokens' or 'swap_tokens_for_edu', or indicate appropriate contexts (e.g., trading vs. checking quotes). This leaves the agent without usage direction.

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