wait_a_moment

Pauses execution for a specified duration, up to 10 seconds, to synchronize processes or manage timing in blockchain operations within the Armor Crypto MCP environment.

Instructions

Wait for some short amount of time, no more than 10 seconds

Implementation Reference

  • The handler function decorated with @mcp.tool() that implements the wait_a_moment tool. It pauses execution for the given number of seconds using asyncio.sleep and returns a confirmation dictionary.
    @mcp.tool()
    async def wait_a_moment(seconds:float):
        """Wait for some short amount of time, no more than 10 seconds"""
        await asyncio.sleep(seconds)
        return {"waited": seconds}
  • The @mcp.tool() decorator registers the wait_a_moment function as an MCP tool.
    @mcp.tool()
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool waits for a short time with a maximum limit, but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like whether it blocks execution, handles errors, or returns any output. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, 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 with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core action and includes a crucial constraint, making it appropriately sized for its purpose.

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?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and low schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what happens after the wait, potential errors, or return values, which is inadequate for a tool that controls execution flow.

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?

The schema description coverage is 0%, but the description adds meaning by implying the 'seconds' parameter should be a short duration (≤10 seconds). However, it doesn't specify units, default values, or constraints beyond the maximum, leaving some ambiguity. With one parameter, the baseline is 4, but the incomplete guidance reduces it to 3.

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 verb ('Wait') and the resource ('some short amount of time'), specifying a maximum duration ('no more than 10 seconds'). It's not tautological with the name 'wait_a_moment', but it doesn't distinguish from siblings since this is the only time-based tool in the list.

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. It doesn't mention any specific scenarios, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage from context alone.

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