A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true), so the description's added value is the credit cost (6 credits) and a preview of the returned fields plus derived analytics. It does not disclose how far back "recent" extends or whether results are paginated, which limits it to a 4.

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?

Content is front-loaded and dense with useful specifics in a single sentence. The redundant "SEC Filings: SEC Filings returns" prefix wastes space and slightly hurts readability.

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?

With an output schema present and full annotation coverage, the description only needs to convey scope and returned content, which it does. The remaining gap is the undefined lookback window behind "recent" and any pagination behavior, minor against the rich structured data.

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 the ticker, form, and limit parameters are already fully documented in the schema. The description reinforces the ticker scoping and enumerates form types but adds no format or default details beyond what the schema provides; baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description uses a specific verb+resource ("returns the recent EDGAR filing history") and enumerates the concrete content returned (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Form 4, S-1 with filing date, form type, document link). It does not explicitly differentiate itself from overlapping siblings such as InsiderTrading, EarningsReport, or TickerNews, which keeps it from a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied: the tool applies to "a US public company by ticker," which scopes applicability but never states when to prefer this over sibling tools or when not to use it. No alternatives or exclusions are named, so the agent must infer routing.

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