Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve 5-minute interval cryptocurrency price data to monitor rapid market movements and analyze short-term trends, enabling informed trading decisions.

Instructions

Analyze short-term price trends with the 5-Minute Interval Cryptocurrency Data API. Access real-time, intraday price data for cryptocurrencies to monitor rapid market movements and optimize trading strategies.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, so the description adds minimal behavioral insight. It mentions 'real-time, intraday' but does not disclose rate limits, pagination, or data availability beyond the annotations.

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?

Two concise sentences with front-loaded purpose. No fluff or redundant content. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

Without an output schema, the description should explain what data is returned (e.g., price, volume, timestamps). It only mentions 'real-time, intraday price data' but omits the response structure, which is a significant gap for a data API.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning to the parameters (symbol, from_date, to) beyond what the schema already provides.

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 explicitly states '5-Minute Interval Cryptocurrency Data' and the action to analyze short-term trends, distinguishing it from sibling tools like 1-minute or 1-hour data. The verb 'Analyze' and context of monitoring rapid movements make the purpose clear.

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 implies usage for short-term trading ('monitor rapid market movements') but does not explicitly compare to alternatives or state when not to use. No exclusion criteria or context for when to choose this over 1-minute or 1-hour data is provided.

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