Get loop

get_loop
Read-only

Get metadata and chapter manifest for a loop by slug. Returns loop info and the list of chapter nodes with titles — no chapter content. All active loops are navigable by anyone.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and destructiveHint, so the description adds value by specifying the exact return scope: loop info and chapter node titles, with explicit exclusion of chapter content. It also adds the access rule that any active loop is navigable by anyone.

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?

Two concise sentences deliver the core purpose, return scope, exclusions, and access context. Every sentence earns its place and no information is wasted.

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?

For a simple one-parameter read-only tool with a full input schema and an output schema, the description is complete. It covers what is returned, what is not returned, and who can access it.

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 coverage is 100%, with loop_slug fully described including an example. The description reinforces that the lookup is by slug, but it does not add meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Get metadata and chapter manifest for a loop by slug.' It also clearly differentiates from siblings by explicitly noting that chapter content is not included, which distinguishes it from get_chapter.

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?

The description implies when to use the tool: for loop metadata and chapter titles, not chapter content. It clarifies access ('All active loops are navigable by anyone') but does not explicitly name an alternative for fetching chapter content.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools target clearly distinct resources—regime, liquidity, conditions, prices, ETF profiles, data health—and the three history tools are explicitly separated as price, flow, and judgment. The main ambiguity is get_chapter vs run_chapter, which both return chapter framework content and differ only in usage logging, though the descriptions call this out explicitly.

Naming Consistency4/5

The set follows a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern: get_ for reads, list_ for enumeration, run_ for framework text, and score_ for position drift. The only wrinkle is run_chapter/get_chapter, where 'run' doesn't mean execution but rather 'return framework text and log usage,' making the verb semantics slightly less predictable.

Tool Count4/5

22 tools is on the heavy side but the set is organized into recognizable clusters: macro regime, liquidity/conditions, histories, portfolio drift, ETF/prices, loops/framework, and data health. Each tool appears to earn its place, so the count is slightly high but not bloated.

Completeness4/5

The surface is comprehensive for a read-and-analyze macro/portfolio server: current reads, historical timeseries, data freshness, event calendar, ETF look-through, drift scoring, and loop navigation are all covered. Minor gaps exist—no direct portfolio/position listing tool and non-US central-bank event dates are intentionally not tracked—but these are acknowledged and workable.
