Monster drops

get_drops
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a monster's drop table with quantities, rarities, live Grand Exchange values, shared rare drops, and expected gp per kill for OSRS profit planning.

Instructions

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, non-destructive). The description adds valuable output context—what data is returned—which is especially useful since there is no output schema. It omits any mention of pagination or cursor behavior, but the schema documents the cursor parameter.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every item in the list earns its place by clarifying the scope of returned data.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the absence of an output schema, the description does a good job of specifying the return contents. Combined with annotations covering safety and the schema documenting parameters, it is nearly complete, though a brief note about pagination or cursor usage would make it fully self-contained.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already fully documents all three parameters. The description adds no additional meaning or format details for monster, version, or cursor beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific resource (monster drops) and enumerates the exact data returned (quantities, rarities, live GE prices, shared tables, expected gp per kill). It clearly distinguishes this from a generic monster stats tool, but it never names any sibling tool to explicitly differentiate, so it stops short of a 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase 'Use for...' provides implied usage context, but there is no explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over get_monster, find_item_sources, or other siblings. No when-not conditions or alternatives are given.

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