Balance and usage

get_balance
Read-onlyIdempotent

Check your Tapra account balance in TND, total spent, and the 10 most recent charges for the current API key. Use it to monitor usage and spending at no cost.

Instructions

Show the Tapra balance (TND), total spent, and the 10 most recent charges for this API key. Free.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior, so the description only needs supplementary context. It adds real value: the result is scoped to 'this API key', the charge list is capped at 10, currency is TND, and the call is 'Free' — meaningful when sibling tools presumably consume credits.

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?

One sentence, front-loaded with the primary resource and followed by the secondary outputs. Every clause adds information an agent would otherwise have to guess at; nothing is redundant.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of describing returns, and it does so by enumerating the three result components. The only gap is that it doesn't say what happens beyond the 10-charge cap (truncation vs. pagination), which an agent might wonder about.

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 no parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate beyond what the empty schema already conveys. The baseline of 4 applies; the description correctly does not waste space restating a parameter list.

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?

A specific verb ('Show') paired with concrete resources: balance (in TND), total spent, and the 10 most recent charges. It is clear what the tool retrieves, though it does not differentiate itself from the sibling 'tapra_status', which an agent might plausibly reach for when looking for account state.

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?

Usage is only implied: an agent can infer it is the tool for checking account funds and recent spend. There is no explicit statement of when to prefer it over 'tapra_status', nor any prerequisite or exclusion noted.

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