v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It adds value by specifying the return fields (name, ID, sequence, unit), implying a read-only list operation. However, it does not mention authentication requirements, rate limits, or potential errors, leaving gaps in full transparency.
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 a single, concise sentence that is front-loaded with the verb and resource. Every word earns its place; no filler or redundancy.
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 tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description adequately explains the purpose and return fields. It might benefit from noting any prerequisites or whether it requires authentication, but given the simplicity, it is sufficiently complete for an agent to invoke correctly.
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 input schema has zero parameters, and the baseline for no parameters is 4. The description does not need to add parameter details because there are none, and schema coverage is effectively 100%.
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 action ('Retrieve') and the resource ('a list of available mining algorithms'), and lists the specific fields included ('name, ID, sequence, and unit'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like BinanceAcquiringCoinName, which focuses on coin names.
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 one needs mining algorithm information, but it does not explicitly state when to use this over alternatives or provide exclusions. The context among mining-related siblings suggests a niche purpose, yet no direct guidance is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
