Global factory deliveries (GAMA)

jt_global_fleet_stats
Read-onlyIdempotent

Worldwide general aviation factory shipments from the GAMA Shipment Report (2005 to the current quarter): view "industry" (jets, turboprops, pistons, turbine helicopters and billings by year), "regions" (business jets by region), "oems" (by manufacturer) or "models" (by model group, filter by oem or query). Deliveries, not fleet in service; current year is partial.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
oemNoManufacturer filter (embraer, textron, bombardier, gulfstream, dassault, pilatus...).

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful data context the annotations cannot supply: the source report, the historical window beginning 2005, and the important caveat that the current year is partial. It stops short of explaining pagination or default row behavior beyond what the schema states.

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?

A single dense sentence whose clauses all carry information: source, scope, enumeration of views, and the two disambiguating caveats. It is front-loaded correctly, though the nested parenthetical list makes it slightly harder to scan than a short lead plus bullets would be.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need no prose, and the description covers source, coverage window, view semantics, and the partial-year caveat. What is missing is only marginal: nothing about row limits or how the views rank/report, which the schema partly covers via top.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description goes further by mapping parameters to the view that consumes them (oems/models for top and oem, kind and query for models). That cross-parameter relationship is not captured in the flat schema and materially helps correct invocation.

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?

States a specific resource (worldwide general aviation factory shipments), the source (GAMA Shipment Report), the time span (2005 to current quarter), and the four selectable views. It also pre-empts confusion with the sibling fleet tools by stating 'Deliveries, not fleet in service,' so an agent can separate it from jt_fleet_stats or jt_global_fleet_search without opening a schema.

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 enumerates what each view returns and which filters apply to which view ('models' uses oem or query), giving clear selection context. It also implicitly excludes fleet-in-service questions. However, it never explicitly names a sibling tool to prefer for those alternative questions, so routing is inferred rather than spelled out.

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