Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.16
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct operation, with clear separation between payment methods (pay_lightning_invoice, send_to_lightning_address, send_payment), wallet management, channel operations, and social media actions. The setup tools are cleanly prefixed with 'setup_' to avoid confusion.
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., create_agent_wallet, post_tweet, get_mentions). Setup tools uniformly use the 'setup_' prefix, and social tools use common verbs like get, search, post.
Tool Count4/526 tools is on the higher side but justified by the server's dual domain (Bitcoin/Lightning and X/Twitter). Each set of tools (setup, payments, wallet, social) has a purposeful number of endpoints. Slight overreach with 7 setup tools, but they streamline onboarding.
Completeness4/5Covers the full lifecycle for wallet management, Lightning payments, and social media interaction. Includes onboarding, diagnostics, and testing. Minor gaps like replying to tweets or managing tweets beyond posting are absent but not critical for the core use case.
Average 3.5/5 across 26 of 26 tools scored. Lowest: 2.9/5.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description is the sole source of behavioral information. It mentions 'automatic Lightning payment' but does not disclose whether the tool is destructive, whether it requires prior setup (e.g., wallet balance), or what happens on payment failure. This is insufficient for a tool involving financial transactions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no redundant words. It is front-loaded with the key action. However, it could benefit from breaking into two sentences for clarity or adding a brief note about payment behavior.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 2 parameters with enums and no output schema. The description explains the core action but omits details like what the endpoint returns, error handling, prerequisites (e.g., node setup), and whether the payment is one-time or per-call. It is adequate for a simple tool but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% as both parameters ('endpoint' and 'symbol') are described. The description does not add any additional parameter-level guidance beyond what the schema provides. The baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema already handles parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool accesses an L402-protected API endpoint and handles Lightning payment automatically. The verb 'access' is somewhat generic but the context of L402 and Lightning makes it specific. It differentiates from siblings like pay_lightning_invoice or create_lightning_invoice by focusing on API access with payment.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it does not mention that this tool is for accessing paid APIs via L402 while pay_lightning_invoice is for manual payments. The description lacks any contextual usage hints.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description should cover behavioral traits like read-only nature and response details. It only mentions 'outbound and inbound liquidity' without confirming safety, side effects, or output format. Insufficient for a tool performing a read operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single concise sentence conveys the core purpose without extra words. However, it could be slightly improved by structuring the information (e.g., splitting outbound and inbound), but overall effective.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description is mostly complete. However, it lacks details on return format and fails to address how this differs from closely related siblings, leaving some ambiguity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are zero parameters, and schema description coverage is 100% (vacuous). The description adds meaning by specifying what is checked (channel balance liquidity), which is adequate for a parameterless tool.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Check available Lightning channel balance (outbound and inbound liquidity)', which clearly identifies the action and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_agent_balance' and 'list_channels' by focusing on channel liquidity, but does not explicitly differentiate.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_agent_balance' or 'list_channels'. The description lacks context about prerequisites or scenarios where this tool is preferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose key behaviors. It only states the tool gets history, but does not mention that it is read-only, what data is returned, or any implications like pagination or rate limits. Minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded and efficiently states the core function.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple retrieval tool with one optional parameter, the description is adequate but could be improved by stating typical return format or that it shows the payment history for the current node. Without an output schema, the description could provide more context about what is returned.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema documents the single parameter (max_payments). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema's 'Maximum number of payments to return', so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it retrieves 'recent Lightning payment history', which is a specific resource and action. It distinguishes from sibling tools like pay_lightning_invoice that perform actions rather than fetching history, but does not explicitly differentiate from other read tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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. No context for when it is appropriate, prerequisites, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only states it 'checks' components. It does not disclose whether the tool modifies state, requires specific permissions, or how it handles failures. For a test tool, this behavioral opacity 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description consists of two concise sentences that immediately state the tool's purpose and scope. Every word adds value, and there is no extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema, annotations, and parameters, the description should provide more context about test results, error handling, or prerequisites. As a diagnostic tool, it is incomplete without clarifying what 'end to end' means or how to interpret outcomes.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description need not explain parameters and does not miss anything. A baseline of 4 is appropriate as the schema already provides all necessary information.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: testing AgenticBTC payments end-to-end by checking API, Lightning, channels, and liquidity. It is a specific verb-resource combination and distinguishes itself from sibling setup tools focused on configuration rather than testing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Siblings include many setup_* tools, but there is no mention of prerequisites, sequence, or contrast with other diagnostic tools like 'setup_diagnose_issues'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavior. It correctly implies a write/mutation operation but lacks details on side effects, persistence, limits, or what happens post-creation. The 'owner access required' note is helpful but insufficient for complete transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 14 words, containing no unnecessary information. It is optimally concise and front-loaded with the core action and constraint.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool (one required parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is bare minimum. It fails to provide any contextual cues about usage, return behavior, or relationship to sibling tools, making it less helpful for an agent navigating a complex toolset.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with the 'agent_name' parameter documented as 'Name for the agent wallet'. The tool description does not add extra meaning beyond this. Per guidelines, baseline is 3 when schema coverage is high, as the description adds no further parameter context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it creates a new Bitcoin wallet for an AI agent, with a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('Bitcoin wallet for an AI agent'), and includes a necessary access note ('owner access required'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'create_lightning_invoice' or 'setup_create_first_wallet' by specifying the agent context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides minimal guidance: it mentions owner access is required but does not explain when to use this tool versus other wallet-related tools (e.g., 'setup_create_first_wallet' for initial setup). No alternatives or prerequisites are discussed, leaving the agent without context for appropriate invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention invoice expiration, payment handling, security considerations, or side effects. Minimal disclosure for a financial tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with clear verb and object, front-loaded and zero waste. Very concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, no annotations. Description fails to explain return value, invoice lifecycle, or usage in context. Incomplete for a financial tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, baseline 3. Description adds no additional meaning beyond schema; parameters are already well-documented in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Create' and the resource 'Lightning Network invoice' with the purpose 'to receive Bitcoin payments', distinguishing it from sibling tools like pay_lightning_invoice.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Lacks context on prerequisites, exclusions, or scenarios. Implicit differentiation from sibling tools is not enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It does not disclose traits like being read-only, authentication needs, or error behavior (e.g., what if agent_id is invalid).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence is efficient for a simple tool. No wasted words, though slightly more detail would improve usefulness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequate for a simple 1-parameter tool with no output schema, but could mention what the response contains (e.g., balance amount). No output schema means description should compensate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so description adds little beyond the parameter description. Baseline 3 is appropriate; no extra semantics (e.g., examples or constraints) are provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the specific resource 'Bitcoin balance for an agent wallet'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like check_channel_balance (channel balance) and list_agent_wallets (wallet listing).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., check_channel_balance or get_node_info). No exclusions or context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description fails to disclose side effects (e.g., irreversible state change) or what happens to ongoing onboarding steps. It mentions returning a summary but does not specify contents or format, leaving agents uncertain about invocation consequences.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no wasted words. Front-loaded purpose and outcome.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple (no params), but without annotations or output schema, the description should provide more behavioral context. It barely meets adequacy by stating the action and return type, but lacks details on state changes or dependencies.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters and schema coverage is 100%, so the description adds no parameter-specific meaning. Baseline is 4 for no parameters, and the description does not detract from this.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'mark onboarding as complete' and the resource 'onboarding', distinguishing it from other setup_* tools like setup_check_status or setup_configure_lightning. However, it does not explain what specific actions 'complete' entails, leaving minor ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 siblings, such as prerequisites or ordering relative to other setup tools. There is no mention of when not to use it or alternatives, which is a significant gap given the onboarding context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries burden. It discloses default limits (1000 sat per-tx, 10000 sat daily), but does not mention idempotency, error conditions, or whether it overwrites existing wallets.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded with action and defaults. No superfluous content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description adequately explains purpose and key defaults. Missing details like error handling or idempotency but acceptable given simplicity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%; the single parameter 'wallet_name' is described in schema with a default. Description adds no additional meaning beyond what schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (create) and resource (first agent wallet) with sensible defaults, distinguishing it from generic wallet creation by emphasizing 'first'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings like 'create_agent_wallet' or other setup tools. The agent receives no context on prerequisites or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It states it lists all agent wallets (with balances and status) but only for the agent's own wallet. It does not disclose authentication requirements, rate limits, side effects, or that it is a read-only operation. Basic behavior is described but significant gaps remain.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that directly states the purpose and scope without any unnecessary words. It is efficiently front-loaded and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has no parameters and no output schema, the description provides adequate context: it lists agent wallets with balances and status, scoped to own wallet only. It could mention that the output is a list or that it may be empty, but overall it is complete for a simple list operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides. It implicitly conveys that no filtering or input is needed, which is sufficient.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists agent wallets with balances and status, and adds a scope limitation ('agent key: own wallet only'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'get_agent_balance' which retrieves a single wallet's balance. However, it could be more explicit about the distinction from other wallet-related tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies it is for listing own wallets, but does not mention when to use 'get_agent_balance' for individual wallet details or other wallet operations. Agents would need to infer appropriate usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It mentions automatic detection and optimal routing but lacks details on failure behavior, idempotency, reversibility, balance checks, or permissions. This is minimal transparency for a financial mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the action, and includes specific examples. Every word contributes value, and it efficiently covers the key points without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool complexity (5 params, 1 required, no output schema, no annotations), the description covers recipient types and routing but misses error handling, success indication, and prerequisites. It is adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% so baseline is 3. The description adds the concept of 'optimal payment rail' but otherwise repeats the recipient type info already in the schema. It does not provide format constraints or usage hints beyond the schema, so no extra value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (send a payment), the resource (any recipient), and specifies the recipient types with examples. It distinguishes from sibling tools by being the general payment router that auto-detects recipient type and routes optimally.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies this is the universal payment tool but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use it versus the specialized sibling tools like pay_lightning_invoice or send_to_lightning_address. No when-not-to-use or alternative guidance is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description implies a read operation ('Get') but does not explicitly state that it is non-destructive or safe. No annotations are provided to clarify. The description is adequate but lacks explicit 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no wasted words, front-loaded with the action and object.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description provides the tool's purpose but does not elaborate on what specific info is returned. Given no output schema, the agent may need more detail about the return value.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. Baseline 4 is appropriate as the description adds no parameter info, but none is needed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves Lightning node connection status and info, specifying the verb 'Get' and the resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools that perform actions like payments or setup, but 'info' is somewhat vague.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like get_agent_balance or list_channels. No context about prerequisites or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as fund usage limits, failure handling, or reversibility, which is insufficient for a payment tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no waste, conveying the essential function efficiently.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple 3-parameter tool with no output schema, the description adequately conveys the primary action but lacks depth to ensure safe and correct usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional context to parameters beyond what the schema already states.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'Pay' and resource 'Lightning Network invoice', clearly differentiating from sibling tools like create_lightning_invoice or send_to_lightning_address.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for paying a BOLT11 invoice but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance compared to alternatives like send_payment or send_to_lightning_address.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states the protocol and action, omitting details like error handling if the address is invalid, whether the operation is reversible, or if spending policies apply (the 'agent' parameter hints at this but is not explained).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence that is precise and front-loaded. No redundant information; every word serves a purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, the description should ideally mention what the tool returns (e.g., success confirmation or payment hash) or potential errors. It lacks this context, but the simplicity of the action partially mitigates the need.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so parameter semantics are already adequate. The description does not add extra context beyond what the schema provides (e.g., the format of 'address' is already in the schema description).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the action: sending sats to a Lightning address using LNURL-pay protocol. It distinguishes from sibling tools like pay_lightning_invoice (BOLT11) and create_lightning_invoice by specifying the protocol and address format.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like pay_lightning_invoice. The phrase 'using LNURL-pay protocol' implies usage for LNURL addresses, but does not describe when not to use it or mention prerequisites (e.g., wallet setup).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Validates before saving is disclosed, but without annotations, more detail is needed: what 'saves' means (persistent?), overwriting behavior, validation failure consequences, and required permissions. The description is minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no redundant words. Efficiently conveys core functionality.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequate for a configuration tool with clear schema, but no output schema or return value explanation. Lacks details on what happens after validation (e.g., success confirmation). Minimum viable for completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The description adds that lndconnect URL is an alternative to host+macaroon, but this doesn't significantly extend schema information, hence baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it configures a Lightning node connection, lists accepted inputs (lndconnect URL or host+macaroon), and mentions validation. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like setup_check_status or setup_validate_credentials.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It implies it's the main configuration tool but doesn't mention prerequisites or exclusions like already-configured nodes.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It only mentions 'recent' but lacks details on rate limits, authentication, output content, or pagination behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no unnecessary words, action first, efficient and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Simple tool with one parameter and no output schema; description covers purpose and usage hint but omits return value format.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description does not add any extra parameter meaning beyond the schema's 'recent' and limit details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool retrieves recent @mentions and replies for a specific account, distinguishing it from siblings like get_own_timeline or search_x.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Description provides a concrete use case ('monitor engagement and find conversations to join') but does not explicitly exclude alternative tools or mention when not to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavioral traits. It states 'Search recent X posts', implying read-only, but lacks details on authentication needs, rate limits, return format, or ordering. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, more transparency is needed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with zero waste. Front-loaded: first sentence states action and resource, second sentence gives concrete examples. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Tool has 2 parameters, no output schema, no annotations. Description is minimal and lacks details on pagination, result structure, or ordering of results. While simple, it could better explain what 'recent' means and how results are returned.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The description adds example values for 'query', which aids understanding but does not add semantics beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states verb (search), resource (X posts), and scope (recent, by keyword). Distinguishes from siblings like get_mentions or get_own_timeline by focusing on keyword search across recent posts. Includes example topics to illustrate usage.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says 'Use to find conversations about...' with examples, providing clear context for use. However, does not mention when to avoid this tool (e.g., for timeline or mentions) or compare directly to siblings, though the purpose is differentiated enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It states the tool 'returns' diagnostic information, suggesting read-only behavior, but does not confirm it is non-destructive, require permissions, or have side effects. Information about the output format and scope of checks is missing.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: two sentences with no redundancy. It front-loads the purpose and immediately conveys the value (error messages with fix instructions). Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple (no params, no output schema), but the description lacks details about the return format (e.g., is it a list of errors, a single string, structured data?). It mentions 'specific error messages with fix instructions' but does not specify structure, pagination, or error cases. A bit more detail would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are no parameters (0 params), so schema coverage is 100% trivially. According to guidelines, 0 params baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter info because none exist.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool diagnoses configuration problems and returns error messages with fix instructions. The verb 'diagnose' and resource 'AgenticBTC configuration problems' are specific and distinguish it from sibling setup tools like setup_check_status or setup_validate_credentials.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for diagnosing configuration problems but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not state when not to use it or mention other tools that might be more appropriate for status checks or validation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description states it returns a prompt, implying no side effects, but does not explicitly confirm idempotency, safety, or other behavioral traits. For a tool with no annotations, more behavioral context is needed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no fluff, efficiently communicates purpose. Ideal conciseness for a simple tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no parameters, no output schema, and a straightforward return type (prompt), the description is largely complete. It could briefly hint at the prompt's content (e.g., 'includes steps for wallet creation and channel setup'), but current level is adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters, so baseline is 4. Description adds no parameter info, but that is acceptable since there are no parameters to document.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it returns a conversational prompt for guiding user through setup. The verb 'returns' and resource 'conversational prompt' is specific. It distinguishes itself from sibling setup tools like setup_check_status by focusing on providing a prompt for step-by-step guidance.
