Deal Autopsy

deal_autopsy
Read-onlyIdempotent

Tracked data-center M&A / capex deal flow with the DCPI grid-reality verdict overlaid on each deal market — "what is the real play?". Returns recent deals (buyer, seller, value, market) + each market DCPI verdict and time-to-power; with a paid key, the per-deal autopsy read (long-dated land/power option vs near-term build vs queue gamble). Progressive disclosure to keep the default cheap: by default each read ships only a comparables COUNT (the verdict text is always included); pass comparables="summary" for the top-2 grounding signals, or comparables="full" to expand the complete cited set for a deal you're drilling into. Answers "who is actually buying data centers right now, and are those markets any good", "what is the real play behind this deal". Try: deal_autopsy limit=15.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive and openWorld=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful behaviour beyond that: a cost/verbosity model ('keep the default cheap' via progressive disclosure) and an auth tier gate ('with a paid key, the per-deal autopsy read'), which an agent needs to set expectations. It stops short of stating rate limits or what a free-key caller sees in place of the paid autopsy read.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The core purpose is front-loaded, which is good, but the prose is padded with marketing cadence ('what is the real play?') and the two closing example questions restate the same two intents already covered earlier. Em-dash asides and quoted phrasing make it longer than it needs to be for a 2-parameter read tool.

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 needn't be spelled out, yet the description helpfully names the deal fields (buyer, seller, value, market) plus the DCPI verdict and time-to-power. The progressive-disclosure contract and paid-key gate are both disclosed. The one loose end is that the paid-tier 'per-deal autopsy read' is described only in vague labels (land/power option vs near-term build vs queue gamble) rather than its concrete output.

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 both parameters are already documented in the schema, and the description largely mirrors it (count-only default, top-2 summary, full cited set). It adds only marginal framing ('cheapest', 'escalate only for deals you're drilling into'). Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 verb (track) and resource (data-center M&A / capex deal flow) with a distinctive twist: the DCPI grid-reality verdict overlaid per market. This lets an agent separate it from siblings like list_transactions and hyperscaler_deals, which presumably lack the DCPI overlay. The example questions ('who is actually buying data centers right now', 'what is the real play behind this deal') pin the intended scope.

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?

Clear guidance on the internal escalation lever: default comparables gives only a count, 'summary' gives top-2 grounding signals, 'full' expands the cited set, with the explicit rule 'escalate only for deals you're drilling into.' It gives context for when the tool is the right call (answering deal-flow and market-quality questions) but never names a sibling alternative for when this is the wrong pick over list_transactions or hyperscaler_deals.

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