get_agent_info

Retrieve public profile of a registered AI agent using its DID. Returns display name, verification status, capabilities, and provider.

Instructions

Get public profile information about a registered AI agent.

Returns display name, verification status, capabilities, and provider.
Use this when you already have a specific DID and need profile data.

For trust assessment, use check_reputation or check_trust instead.
For rating history, use get_attestations_received.
To find agents by capability, use search_agents.

Read-only — does not affect reputation or any stored data.

Args:
    did: The agent's DID (did:key:z6Mk...).
         Must be a registered agent on the AVP network.

Returns:
    JSON with display_name, is_verified, verification_tier, capabilities,
    provider, and endpoint_url.
    Returns {"error": "Agent not found"} if DID is not registered.

Behavior5/5

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

Without annotations, the description directly states 'Read-only — does not affect reputation or any stored data,' which fully discloses the non-destructive nature. It also explains the return format and error case, providing complete behavioral 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 well-structured into clear sections: purpose, usage guidance, alternatives, behavioral note, parameters, and return values. Every sentence adds value, no fluff, and it is appropriately concise for the tool's simplicity.

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 (1 parameter, no annotations, no output schema but returns described), the description is fully complete. It covers when to use, what it does, behavioral impact, parameter details, return format, and error handling.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with a basic description for 'did'. The description adds meaningful context: format requirement ('did:key:z6Mk...') and validation condition ('Must be a registered agent on the AVP network'), improving over the schema alone.

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's purpose: 'Get public profile information about a registered AI agent.' It specifies the verb 'Get' and the resource 'public profile information', distinguishing it from siblings by listing alternatives for other needs.

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?

The description explicitly says 'Use this when you already have a specific DID and need profile data.' It also provides clear when-not-to-use guidance and names specific sibling tools (check_reputation, get_attestations_received, search_agents) for alternative actions.

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