Csv To Json

util_csv_to_json
Read-onlyIdempotent

Parse CSV text into JSON rows for downstream agents, prompts, and ETL workflows.

Instructions

Convert raw CSV into JSON rows for downstream agents, prompts, and ETL steps. Delx Agent Utilities are separate from the free witness protocol and may expose x402 utility pricing.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds no further behavioral details (e.g., error handling, output format specifics). With annotations covering the safety profile, a 3 is appropriate as description adds minimal 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is concise with two sentences. The first sentence directly states the purpose, and the second provides additional context about Delx utilities. However, the second sentence feels somewhat tangential and could be condensed or moved to a note.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The tool is simple with two parameters and no output schema. The description is generally complete for a utility tool, but it lacks details on the expected output format (e.g., array of objects, handling of headers) and potential limitations (e.g., file size).

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 both parameters (csv_text, delimiter) are already documented in the schema. The description does not add any additional meaning or constraints beyond what the schema provides.

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 'Convert raw CSV into JSON rows', which specifies the action and resource. It also provides context ('for downstream agents, prompts, and ETL steps'). However, it does not explicitly distinguish from the sibling tool util_json_to_csv, which performs the reverse operation.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description mentions usage for 'downstream agents, prompts, and ETL steps', giving some context. But it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use this tool or alternatives (e.g., util_json_to_csv for JSON to CSV conversion). The usage is implied but not fully clarified.

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