Get Current Price (G7 FX quote)

get_quote
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the latest price for a G7 FX pair — a quick "what's it at now" check.

Useful for context before deploying a strategy. The price is the close of
the most recent 1-minute bar from the platform's market feed (not a raw
live tick); FX markets close on weekends, so the `stale` flag marks a bar
that is more than 15 minutes old.

Args:
  symbol: G7 pair — one of EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD, AUDUSD,
    NZDUSD. Default EURUSD.

Returns:
  dict with: symbol, price (latest close), time (bar timestamp, UTC),
  change + change_pct (vs the prior 1-min bar), stale (bool).

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses that price is from close of most recent 1-minute bar (not raw live tick), explains the stale flag (15 min threshold), and notes FX market weekend closures. This goes beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint) by detailing the data source and staleness behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Well-structured with a summary line, context paragraph, and explicit Args/Returns sections. Slightly wordy but every sentence adds value. Could be more concise but remains clear.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (1 optional param, no required params) and the presence of an output schema (implied by return description), the description covers all necessary aspects: input, behavior, output fields. No gaps for an agent to understand invocation and results.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description fully explains the 'symbol' parameter: lists all valid G7 pairs, states default EURUSD, and implies it's optional. This completely compensates for the schema gap.

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 it gets the latest price for a G7 FX pair as a 'quick check'. Distinguishes from siblings like get_deploy_result or get_strategy_code which serve different purposes.

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 says 'Useful for context before deploying a strategy', providing a clear use case. Does not mention alternatives or when to avoid, but given the tool's simplicity, this is adequate.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, though browse_community, find_strategy, and one_shot (community_id) are related and could cause confusion if descriptions are not read carefully. Overall well-differentiated.

Naming Consistency4/5

Overwhelmingly follows a verb_noun pattern (browse_community, find_strategy, generate_strategy, get_deploy_result, etc.). A few exceptions like 'one_shot' and 'top_up' break the pattern but are still clear and memorable.

Tool Count4/5

13 tools cover the major functions of a trading strategy platform (discover, generate, deploy, monitor, account management). The count feels appropriate, though 'stream_test' is diagnotic and may not be needed in all contexts.

Completeness3/5

Covers core workflows well—browse, find, generate, deploy, and get results. However, lacks tools to update or stop a deployed model, and there's no way to edit an existing strategy, leaving some lifecycle gaps.
