get_ticker

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses the tool returns ticker data (price, volume, 24h range), which is sufficient for a simple read operation. No mention of data freshness or limitations, but acceptable for this scope.

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?

Single sentence with a category label, front-loaded. No wasted words, but lacks parameter info.

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?

Minimal description adequate for a simple tool with one parameter, but does not explain output structure, error behavior, or link to plural counterpart.

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?

Schema coverage is 0% and description does not mention the parameter by name or explain its format, default, or allowed values. The phrase 'single pair' implies the parameter is a pair, but no concrete semantic help.

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 states it gets ticker/price for a single pair, listing specific data fields (price, volume, 24h high/low). It distinguishes from sibling 'get_tickers_jpy' by specifying 'single pair'.

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 vs alternatives. The description only implies single-pair usage but does not mention when not to use or provide comparisons to analysis tools.

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