thryx_recent_tokens

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

With no annotations, the description carries full behavioral burden. It discloses that no key is required and that results are sorted newest-first, which are useful. However, it does not state whether the operation is read-only, describe response contents beyond a list, or mention any rate limits or pagination behavior, leaving notable transparency gaps.

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 three short, focused fragments: purpose, auth requirement, and sorting. It is immediately clear and every sentence earns its place with no unnecessary filler.

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 covers the core aspects: what is returned, the ordering, and access requirements. It is sufficient for basic use, though a slightly richer explanation of what constitutes a 'token' record could make it fully complete.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, fully defining the optional 'limit' parameter. The description adds no additional parameter-level meaning, so it sits at the baseline of 3 without enhancing or compensating.

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 states the tool returns 'Most recently launched tokens' and explicitly notes the ordering 'Sorted newest-first.' This precisely defines the tool's function and differentiates it from siblings like thryx_trending or thryx_graduating, which are not time-based.

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 description implies usage when you need the newest token launches and adds the practical note 'No key required,' indicating it is a public endpoint. However, it does not explicitly mention alternative tools or situations where a different tool would be more appropriate, so it lacks exclusionary guidance.

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