Server Quality Checklist

Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

Latest release: v1.2.9
Disambiguation3/5
Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is some overlap and ambiguity. For example, 'fund_agent', 'transfer_to_agent', and 'sweep_agent' all involve moving funds between operator and agent, which could confuse an agent about which to use. Additionally, 'pay_invoice', 'pay_lightning_address', and 'keysend' are all payment methods with subtle distinctions that might not be immediately clear from the names alone.
Naming Consistency4/5
The naming is mostly consistent with a verb_noun pattern (e.g., 'create_invoice', 'get_balance', 'list_agents'), but there are minor deviations like 'whoami' (which is a common command but breaks the pattern) and 'lnurl_auth' (which uses an abbreviation inconsistently). Overall, the conventions are readable and predictable, with only a few outliers.
Tool Count2/5
With 43 tools, the count is excessive for a Lightning wallet server, making it feel heavy and potentially overwhelming. A typical wallet might have 10-20 tools for core operations; this includes many niche or administrative functions (e.g., multiple board tools, webhook management, agent lifecycle) that could be consolidated or omitted without losing essential functionality.
Completeness5/5
The tool surface is highly complete for the domain, covering all core Lightning wallet operations (e.g., payments, invoices, balance checks) and extensive administrative features (e.g., agent management, webhooks, Nostr integration). There are no obvious gaps; it supports CRUD/lifecycle for agents, payments, and integrations, ensuring agents can handle most workflows without dead ends.
Average 3.7/5 across 43 of 43 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?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the requirement for an agent key but does not mention side effects (e.g., if the link is consumed, if funds are transferred, or any other behavioral traits).
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 (two short sentences) and front-loaded with the action. However, the requirement could be integrated into the first sentence to reduce repetition.
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 a single parameter and no output schema, the description should explain outcome, side effects, and potential errors. It only states the action and a prerequisite, leaving out critical context like fund destination or link usability.
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% (single parameter with description). The description repeats the parameter's purpose ('LNURL-withdraw link') without adding new details like format, validation, or examples. Baseline is acceptable.
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 tool's action ('Claim funds from an LNURL-withdraw link') with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'create_withdraw_link' and 'lnurl_auth' by naming the specific action, but it 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 Guidelines2/5
Does 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 'pay_invoice' or 'lnurl_auth'. The only usage hint is 'REQUIRES AGENT KEY', which is a prerequisite, not a usage guideline.
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?
With no annotations, the description correctly indicates a creation action (mutation) and links it to funding the balance. However, it omits details such as idempotency, rate limits, or side effects beyond creation.
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?
Two sentences front-loaded with the core action. Efficient and to the point, though the naming mismatch slightly detracts.
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?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description gives the essential purpose. However, it does not mention what the response contains (the invoice object) or clarify the difference from 'create_invoice', leaving the tool context incomplete.
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 schema already documents the amount_sats parameter. The description adds no extra meaning beyond implying the invoice is for depositing sats. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose3/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it creates an invoice to fund the operator account, but the name 'get_deposit_invoice' misleadingly suggests retrieval rather than creation. It does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'create_invoice', which may cause confusion.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'create_invoice' or when not to use it. The agent lacks context to make an informed selection.
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 says it returns both incoming/outgoing payments. It does not disclose that it is read-only, requires authentication, or handles pagination.
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 a single short sentence, concise and to the point. However, it could be structured to include more context without being verbose.
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?
For a simple list tool with two parameters, the description is minimally adequate. It lacks mention of read-only nature, authentication, and output format, but given no output schema, it is somewhat incomplete.
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 the parameters are already well-documented. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema 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 clearly states 'Get the agent transaction history' and specifies it returns both incoming and outgoing payments. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like check_balance or get_invoice_status.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Among many payment-related siblings, there is no mention of when to choose this over others.
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 of behavioral disclosure. It only states the need for an agent key, but does not describe side effects, success/failure conditions, or return behavior. 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.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is only two sentences with no wasted words. However, it could include more useful information in the same space without becoming verbose.
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?
For a simple 1-parameter tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description is minimally adequate to convey basic purpose and a requirement. However, it lacks crucial behavioral context like success/failure signals or next steps.
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% as the only parameter 'lnurl' has a description. The description adds 'LNURL-auth string' which is redundant with the schema, and 'REQUIRES AGENT KEY' is a precondition not parameter detail. Minimal added value beyond schema.
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 clearly states the verb 'authenticate' and the resource 'using LNURL-auth protocol'. It is specific and distinct from sibling tools, with no ambiguity about its function.
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 mentions 'REQUIRES AGENT KEY' as a prerequisite but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusion criteria. It lacks context for decision-making.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden. It discloses the requirement for an agent key but does not explain other behavioral aspects like idempotency, error handling, or state changes (spending funds).
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 extremely concise with two sentences, front-loading the purpose and a key requirement. No wasted words.
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?
For a payment tool with no output schema, the description fails to explain the result of payment, confirmation behavior, or error conditions, leaving significant gaps.
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?
Input schema coverage is 100%, and the schema already describes all parameters. The description adds no extra parameter-level information beyond the schema.
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 action 'Pay to a Lightning address' and specifies the format. Among siblings, it is distinct from other payment tools like pay_invoice or keysend, though it 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 Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description only mentions a prerequisite (REQUIRES AGENT KEY) but provides no guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives like pay_invoice or keysend.
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 carries full burden. Mentions 'keysend/spontaneous payment' and agent key requirement but fails to disclose that sending funds is irreversible, rate limits, or failure scenarios. Lacks critical behavioral context 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence plus mandatory note; no wasted words. Front-loaded with clear action and method.
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?
No output schema; description does not explain return value or confirmation. Complexity is moderate (payment), but missing post-action info makes it adequate rather than complete.
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 covers 100% of parameter descriptions, so baseline is 3. The tool description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond what schema provides; the note about agent key is a prerequisite, not a parameter detail.
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?
Clearly states verb 'send', resource 'payment to a node', and method 'keysend/spontaneous payment'. Distinguishes from siblings like pay_invoice and pay_lightning_address by specifying no invoice required.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like pay_invoice or pay_lightning_address. Only mentions prerequisite 'REQUIRES AGENT KEY' but no contextual cues for selection.
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 are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It states the action is permanent, that remaining balance is returned, and that an operator key is required. However, it does not mention other side effects, such as whether the agent ID becomes reusable or what happens to related resources, missing some transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, with two sentences that cover purpose, side effect, and requirement. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's destructive nature and lack of annotations or output schema, the description provides essential context: permanence, balance return, and authorization. It could elaborate on irreversibility and effects on other agent configurations, but it is still fairly complete.
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 input schema has 100% parameter description coverage, with 'agent_id' and 'confirm' already described. The tool description adds no additional parameter-level information, so it meets the baseline.
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 'Permanently delete an agent' which is a specific verb and resource. The phrase 'permanently' distinguishes it from deactivation tools like deactivate_agent or reactivate_agent. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools for temporary disabling.
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 mentions the operator key requirement, which is a usage prerequisite, but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., deactivate_agent) 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?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only states delete action and key requirement, without mentioning irreversibility, side effects, or what happens on success/failure. 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no wasted words. The requirement note is upfront. Efficiently conveys essential info.
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?
With no output schema and no annotations, the description lacks return value info, error conditions, and deletion semantics. For a 1-param tool, it is incomplete.
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% and the description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's 'ID of the webhook to delete'. Baseline is 3.
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 clearly states 'Delete a registered webhook', which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_webhooks and register_webhook by implying the delete action.
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 requirement 'REQUIRES AGENT KEY' gives a precondition, but no explicit when-to-use vs alternatives or exclusions. The context is implied but not fully guided.
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 mentions returning preimage as proof and requires agent key, but does not disclose that payment reduces balance, is irreversible, or potential failure modes.
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?
Two sentences conveying the core action, requirement, and return value. No fluff, but could be slightly more structured with explicit sections.
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?
Lacks output schema, so description should explain return values more thoroughly. Mentions preimage but not format, and does not clarify behavior of max_fee_sats parameter or failure scenarios.
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% with clear parameter descriptions. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Only mentions the requirement of an agent key but does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like pay_lightning_address or keysend, nor 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 provided, so description carries full burden. Only discloses the operator key requirement. Does not mention side effects, destructiveness, reversibility, or failure conditions. 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise single sentence plus a key requirement. No unnecessary words, well-structured.
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?
Missing information on return values, potential errors, and implications of sweeping funds (e.g., irreversibility, audit trail). For a fund-moving tool, more context is needed.
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 already covers both parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema, so baseline of 3 is appropriate.
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 clearly states the action ('Sweep funds') and the resource ('from agent back to operator balance'), with a critical requirement noted. It distinguishes from sibling tools like transfer_to_agent or fund_agent.
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

Mentions that operator key is required but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like transfer_to_agent or withdraw. The context is implied by name but not explicit.
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 discloses 'REQUIRES OPERATOR KEY' but omits other behavioral traits such as side effects, error handling, or whether the operation is reversible. No return value info is given.
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 sentence plus a brief requirement statement. Every word is functional, no fluff, and front-loaded.
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?
The tool has 3 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations. The description covers the basic purpose and a key requirement but lacks details about return values, error conditions, or verification steps. It feels incomplete for a money-transfer action.
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% (all parameters have descriptions). The tool description does not add new parameter information beyond what is in the schema, but the baseline of 3 is appropriate given the high coverage.
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 clearly states: 'Transfer sats between agents or from operator to agent.' This is a specific verb+resource combination that distinguishes it from sibling tools like pay_invoice or keysend, which handle external payments.
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 internal agent-to-agent transfers but does not explicitly differentiate from alternatives (e.g., pay_invoice, keysend). It mentions a prerequisite (operator key) but lacks when-not-to-use guidance.
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 must carry the burden. It mentions creation and return of API key but omits side effects (e.g., budgeting, activation state) or async behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with two clear clauses, no wasted words, and effectively communicates core purpose.
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?
Minimal but sufficient for a simple creation tool. Lacks return format details, but given no output schema, the description is reasonably complete.
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 has 100% coverage with descriptions for each parameter. The description adds no additional meaning; baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 clearly states the tool creates a new agent and returns the API key, using specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like deactivate_agent, delete_agent, list_agents.

Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like fund_agent or list_agents. Prerequisites (operator account) are implied but not stated.
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 are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral burden. It states the transfer action but does not disclose side effects (e.g., transaction creation, error handling for insufficient balance). It is minimally adequate but lacks depth.
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?
A single sentence that is clear and front-loaded with the core action. No wasted words, efficient communication.
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?
Given only two required parameters and no output schema, the description is somewhat complete. However, it does not explain the return value or error conditions, leaving some gaps for an agent to fully understand the tool's behavior.
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 the schema already documents both parameters. The description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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?

Usage Guidelines2/5
Does 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 'transfer_to_agent'. No prerequisites (e.g., agent must exist, operator has sufficient balance) are mentioned. The description lacks contextual hints for appropriate 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?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits like whether this operation is destructive (overwrites existing identity), irreversible, or requires specific permissions. It only states that it stores the key, leaving important side effects unspecified.
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 concise: two sentences, no fluff. The first sentence states the purpose, the second adds a critical requirement. Every word is earned.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity and lack of output schema or annotations, the description provides the core functionality but omits return value information (e.g., whether it returns the public key) and whether the operation is idempotent. It is minimally adequate but not fully complete.
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 input schema already provides a clear description for the single parameter 'private_key'. The tool description adds the context that the key is stored and used to derive the public key, but this does not significantly enhance the schema's clarity, earning a baseline score of 3.
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 clearly states the action ('Set a Nostr identity'), the resource ('for the agent'), and what it does ('Stores the private key and derives the public key'). This effectively distinguishes it from the sibling 'get_nostr_identity' which reads the identity.
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 a prerequisite ('REQUIRES AGENT KEY') but does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to set vs update), nor does it explain the consequences of calling it multiple times.
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 carries the full burden. It identifies this as a read operation ('get'), but does not disclose whether this call itself consumes rate limit, or if any authentication is required. Minimal behavioral details beyond the action.
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?
One short sentence that front-loads the action and key outputs. Every word earns its place; no unnecessary information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no parameters and no output schema, the description adequately conveys the purpose and what the agent can expect (rate limit status with remaining and reset time). Could benefit from specifying the format of reset time, but for a minimal tool this is sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters defined in the input schema. With 0 parameters, the description does not need to add parameter meaning beyond schema, which is already complete (100% coverage). Baseline score 4 is appropriate.
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 clearly states 'Get current rate limit status' with specific outputs 'requests remaining and reset time'. It is a specific verb+resource combination: 'get' + 'rate limit status'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'get_info' or 'get_invoice_status'.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool or when not to. No alternatives mentioned. For a simple status check, it might be self-explanatory, but the dimension expects explicit usage 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?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses that the returned credentials cannot be retrieved later, which is critical. However, it omits details like whether registration requires existing credentials, account limits, or if this creates a top-level or sub-account.
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 sentences, front-loaded with the action and critical warning. Every word earns its place, no fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a registration tool with no output schema, the description adequately explains return values and provides a crucial warning. Some missing context about account relationships is acceptable given the clear purpose.
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% with both parameters having descriptions. The description adds no additional parameter details beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 clearly states the action ('Register a new operator account') and the outputs ('Returns API key and recovery code'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'recover_account' which is for recovery, not registration.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites or context about when registration is appropriate. The warning about saving credentials is helpful but does not constitute usage guidelines.
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 are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the output fields (limit, spent, remaining) and key type requirements, but does not mention idempotency, rate limits, or error conditions. The 'get' verb implies read-only, but this is not explicitly stated.
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 two sentences, front-loading the purpose and then adding usage context. Every sentence is necessary and there is no redundant or vague wording.
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?
For a simple tool with no required parameters and no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and who can use it. However, it does not describe the return format or behavior when agent_id is omitted, which leaves some gaps.
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%, with agent_id described as 'Agent ID (operators only, omit for current agent)'. The description adds 'Works with operator or agent keys', which reinforces the schema but does not provide additional semantic value beyond what the schema already states. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 clearly states the tool retrieves budget status (limit, spent, remaining) for an agent, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'check_balance' and 'set_budget' by focusing on budget rather than balance or modification.
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 it works with operator or agent keys, implying who can use it, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., check_balance) or when not to use it. Guidance is implied but not explicit.
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 of disclosure. It adds that the tool 'REQUIRES AGENT KEY' (authentication context) and implies it is a read operation, but it does not disclose pagination, rate limits, or the behavior when no webhooks exist.
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, short sentence (12 words) with no filler. It is front-loaded and efficiently conveys the essential purpose and auth requirement.
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?
Given the simplicity of the tool (no parameters, no output schema), the description covers the core action and auth. However, it lacks any mention of the return format or expected output, which would help an agent understand what to expect from the call.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has no parameters, and the schema coverage is 100% (vacuously). Per instructions, a 0-parameter tool warrants a baseline of 4. The description adds no parameter information, but none is needed.
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 clearly states 'List all registered webhooks for the current agent,' which includes a specific verb ('list'), resource ('webhooks'), and scope ('for the current agent'). This effectively distinguishes it from sibling tools like register_webhook, delete_webhook, and test_webhook.
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?
No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is given. The purpose is straightforward, so usage context is implied, but there is no mention of alternatives or conditions under which this tool should be chosen over others.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It transparently states the key invalidation, generation, and cooldown triggers. It also clarifies the optional parameter's role. No contradictions; the behavioral impact is well-disclosed.
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 sentences, front-loaded with the core action, then specific cooldown details. Every word is necessary and earns its place. No fluff.
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?
Given no output schema, the description should ideally mention what the tool returns (e.g., the new key). It describes the action and cooldowns but omits any response format or confirmation, leaving a gap for agent decision-making.
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 the input schema already explains the parameter. The tool description adds cooldown context but does not enhance understanding of the parameter itself. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 tool generates a new API key and invalidates the old one. It differentiates between operator and agent cooldowns, but does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like 'set_operator_key' which might set a key without rotation.
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 provides implicit usage context by detailing cooldown durations for operators vs agents, and the parameter description notes 'operators only' for agent_id. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, and does not state 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 provided. Description lacks details on side effects, idempotency, session persistence, or error behavior, which are critical for understanding the tool's full impact.

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?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the need for an operator key and a cooldown period, but does not mention return values, failure modes, or that it is a destructive action (funds leave the operator account).
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 efficient sentences: first defines the action, second adds critical constraints. No superfluous words.
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?
For a simple one-parameter tool, the description covers purpose and a key constraint, but lacks information on return values, error conditions, or behavior on success/failure. Some completeness is provided by the 'security cooldown' hint.
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% for the single parameter 'invoice', which is already well-described as 'BOLT11 invoice to pay out to'. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema.

Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'Create a Lightning invoice to receive payment' – specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from sibling tools like get_invoice_status and decode_invoice.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly suggests using get_invoice_status to check payment, but does not specify when to use this tool versus other payment-related siblings like pay_invoice or keysend. However, the purpose is implied.
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 only states 'Check if ... paid' without indicating whether the operation is read-only, has side effects, or any error conditions. This is insufficient for a tool with no 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 sentences, no wasted words. The purpose is stated first, followed by a clear instruction on how to obtain the input. Every sentence contributes meaning.
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?
With no output schema, the description should explain what the tool returns (e.g., a boolean or status). It only says 'Check if ... paid', leaving the return format ambiguous. For a simple tool this is minimally adequate but not complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage for the single parameter, but the description adds valuable context by specifying that the payment hash comes from create_invoice. This helps an agent understand the parameter's origin, going beyond the schema's generic description.
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 clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Check if a created invoice has been paid.' It includes the specific resource ('invoice status') and verb ('check'), and mentions the required input ('payment_hash from create_invoice'), which helps distinguish it from siblings like create_invoice or decode_invoice.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly tells when to use the tool: after creating an invoice, using the 'payment_hash' from create_invoice. This provides clear context, though it does not elaborate on when not to use it or list alternative tools.
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 full burden. Discloses automatic payment detection, protocol support, and agent key requirement, but omits details on error handling, max_payment_sats behavior, return value, or side effects on balance.
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 sentences with a note, front-loaded with main purpose, no redundancy. Each sentence adds value.
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?
Covers core functionality but lacks return value description (no output schema), error scenarios, and payment deduction details. Adequate but not fully comprehensive for a payment-related tool.
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 description adds minimal extra meaning. Mentions max_payment_sats implicitly but provides no additional parameter-level context beyond what's in the schema.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit requirement 'REQUIRES AGENT KEY' provides clear context for when to use. No explicit mention of alternatives, but the requirement is a strong guideline.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
