Get Verification Balance

metrx_get_balance
Read-onlyIdempotent

Check how many verifications remain for your organization before verify_switch, so you can tell if a purchase is needed. Requires an API key with read scope.

Instructions

Check how many verifications your organization has remaining. Free to call. Use before verify_switch to know whether a purchase is needed first. Requires an API key with the 'read' scope.

Tool call template

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so the bar is low. The description still adds two things annotations cannot express: the call is free of charge and it requires an API key with the 'read' scope -- both useful operational facts.

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?

Three short sentences with zero filler: purpose first, then usage sequencing, then prerequisites. Every sentence carries distinct information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter read tool with full annotation coverage and no output schema, the description supplies everything needed to call it correctly: what it returns conceptually (remaining verification count), when to call it, its cost, and its auth requirement.

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 takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4; there is no parameter semantics to add. The description correctly says nothing about inputs, avoiding noise.

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?

States a specific verb and resource -- checking remaining verifications for the organization -- and the scope (organization-level) is explicit. It is readily distinguishable from metrx_buy_verification, which consumes verifications rather than reporting the count.

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?

Gives concrete sequencing guidance: call this before verify_switch to determine whether a purchase is needed. That effectively routes the agent between checking and buying, though it does not state a when-not condition or explicitly name metrx_buy_verification as the follow-up.

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