rank_paste

Read-onlyIdempotent

Computes the SigRank yield cascade from token counts. Parses input, runs cascade math locally, and returns key efficiency metrics for ranking.

Instructions

Computes the SigRank yield cascade from a paste of token counts. Parses the input, runs the full cascade math locally (no network calls), and returns: Υ Yield (the headline efficiency metric, Υ = Cache Reads × Output / Input²), SNR (signal-to-noise ratio), Leverage ratio (Cr/I = cache reads divided by input), Velocity (O/I = output divided by input), 10xDEV score, operator class tier (Burner / Builder / 10xer), and a deterministic prose "card" summarizing the result in plain English. Accepts two input formats: (1) JSON object {"input":N,"output":N,"cacheCreate":N,"cacheRead":N} or (2) four whitespace-separated numbers in order: input output cacheCreate cacheRead. Returns an error if the input is malformed or has negative values. Use this for a quick one-off ranking without submitting to the board. Do NOT use this to submit your score — use submit_paste instead, which both ranks and publishes. Do NOT use this if you want to rank all four time windows at once — use rank_windows for that. After calling this, use submit_paste to publish the result if you want to appear on the leaderboard.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
textYesToken counts to rank. Two formats accepted: (1) JSON object {"input":N,"output":N,"cacheCreate":N,"cacheRead":N} where all values are non-negative integers, or (2) four whitespace-separated numbers in order: input output cacheCreate cacheRead. Get these from `ccusage` output, the Claude Max usage dashboard, tokscale, or any token reader. Example valid input: {"input":1000000,"output":500000,"cacheCreate":50000,"cacheRead":800000}

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds that it runs locally with no network calls, returns error on malformed input, and details the output format. This supplements annotations well.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is long but every sentence contributes valuable information: purpose, outputs, input formats, error handling, and usage guidance. It is front-loaded and well-structured, though could be slightly more concise.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (read-only, idempotent, one parameter with full schema, existing output schema), the description covers input, output, error handling, and usage context completely. No gaps identified.

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% and the parameter description already explains the two input formats with an example. The tool description mostly reiterates this, adding little new semantic value beyond what the schema provides.

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 tool computes the SigRank yield cascade from a paste of token counts, and lists specific output metrics. It distinguishes from siblings like submit_paste and rank_windows by explaining what this tool does not do.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says when to use ('quick one-off ranking without submitting') and when not to (use submit_paste for submission, use rank_windows for all time windows). Provides clear alternatives.

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