kronos_risk

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior itself. It reveals the $0.001 USDC cost via x402, but says nothing about what the tool actually does, what data it accesses, or what the output contains.

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

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

The description is short and front-loaded, but the first clause is mostly a repetition of the tool name. It is concise but not substantively efficient.

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

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

This appears to be a paid market-intelligence tool with no output schema, no annotations, and a generic params container. The description provides only cost and a vague category, leaving the agent without information needed to invoke or interpret the tool correctly.

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

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

The input schema has only a generic 'params' object, and the description adds no details about required fields or accepted keys. Schema coverage is nominally 100% but the description offers no extra meaning, so it stays at the baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with 'kronos risk — Kronos Market Intel tool,' which largely restates the tool name and gives only a broad category. It lacks a specific verb or resource, and does not distinguish kronos_risk from sibling tools like kronos_signals or kronos_forecast.

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

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

No usage conditions or alternatives are given. The only additional information is the cost and payment method, which does not explain when to choose this tool over other Kronos tools.

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