Read-only

Retrieve all asset transfers occurring in a specific block, with optional filtering by token address and pagination support.

Instructions

Query VeWorld Indexer /api/v1/transfers/forBlock for all transfers in a block. Required 'blockNumber'. Optional 'tokenAddress' to scope to a specific VIP‑180/721 contract and pagination. Use for 'transfers in block' or 'block activity'.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. Description adds the external API source (VeWorld Indexer) but does not disclose rate limits, latency, or idempotency beyond annotations. Adequate given annotation coverage.

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?

Three efficient sentences; front-loaded with purpose and key parameters. No redundant or superfluous content.

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

Completeness5/5

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

All necessary context provided: required parameter, optional filtering, use cases. Output schema exists to detail return structure, so description does not need to cover that.

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 baseline 3. Description merely restates that blockNumber is required and tokenAddress/pagination are optional without adding new semantics beyond the schema's own descriptions.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Clearly states action (query transfers), resource (block), and endpoint. Distinguishes from siblings by specifying block-based filtering with optional tokenAddress and pagination.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly states when to use: 'for transfers in block' or 'block activity'. Does not mention when not to use or contrast with alternative tools like getTransfersOfAccount, but the positive guidance is clear.

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