High precision expression calculator

calculate

Evaluate mathematical expressions with configurable high precision, supporting mathjs and LaTeX input formats.

Instructions

Evaluate a mathjs or common LaTeX math expression with configurable high precision.

Input Schema

inputFormatNoInput expression format.auto
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 mentions configurable precision and expression format support, implying a read-only operation, but does not explicitly state lack of side effects, safety, or any other behavioral traits beyond what is implied by 'evaluate'.

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, efficient sentence that conveys the core functionality without extraneous words. Every word serves a 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?

Despite no output schema, the description does not clarify return value format or behavior (e.g., whether it returns a number or string). With 4 parameters and sibling tools, additional context on usage distinctions would be beneficial.

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 each parameter described. The description adds general context about configurability and syntax support but does not enhance individual parameter semantics beyond the schema definitions. 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 evaluates mathjs or LaTeX expressions with configurable high precision. It uses a specific verb 'Evaluate' and identifies the resource, making it distinct from sibling tools like arithmetic or latex_to_expression.

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 provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or specific scenarios where this tool is preferred over siblings like arithmetic or calculus.

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