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 explains the graduation concept but does not disclose the return format, sorting behavior, or any safety implications. The agent is left without clear information about pagination or how results are ordered.

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 two sentences long, front-loaded with the core purpose. The second sentence adds interpretive context but is concise. Every word serves a purpose, though the phrase 'high-conviction late-stage curve plays' is somewhat redundant.

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?

For a simple list tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description provides adequate context explaining what 'graduation' means. It does not explicitly state it returns a list or mention the limit parameter, but the schema compensates. Lacks explicit guidance on output structure or sort order, keeping it at minimum viable.

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 schema covers the single 'limit' parameter fully (description, range, default), so the baseline is 3. The description does not add any parameter-specific information, but the schema is sufficiently self-explanatory.

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 clearly identifies the tool returns tokens closest to graduation, with the specific threshold of 250M THRYX raised. It distinguishes itself from siblings like thryx_trending or thryx_recent_tokens by focusing on graduation, though it lacks an explicit verb like 'list' or 'get'.

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?

The phrase 'high-conviction late-stage curve plays' implies a use case for users interested in late-stage Curve tokens near migration. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives or any exclusion criteria, leaving the usage context implied rather than stated.

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