get_stablecoin_health

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

With no annotations, the description carries transparency burden. It discloses the monetary cost ($0.001 USDC) and indicates live monitoring, but does not reveal data freshness, update rates, what 'depeg check' entails, or the exact response structure.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence that includes the core purpose and the cost. No wasted words; all information is relevant and immediately scannable.

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?

No output schema exists, so the description should clarify return values. It gives a high-level summary (peg status + top 10 list) but lacks details on how the data is presented, what 'health' metrics are included, or whether alerts are returned. Still adequate for basic selection.

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 tool has zero parameters and schema coverage is 100%, so no parameter explanation is needed. The description adds context by naming specific stablecoins (USDC, DAI) and the top-10 by market cap, going beyond the empty schema.

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 a specific verb and resource: 'Get stablecoin peg monitoring' plus 'top 10 stablecoins by market cap.' It distinguishes itself from sibling market-data tools by focusing on stablecoin-specific health and depeg checks.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The cost and stablecoin focus imply a use case, but the description does not state exclusions or compare to siblings like get_crypto_prices or get_market_overview.

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