switch_signal

The real-time factor-SWITCH lead feed — the edge RigDig's static annual UCC buckets cannot show. PRIMARY = VIRGIN: a fresh authority with NO factor UCC-1 lien on record yet — the populated everyday flow, first factor to call wins (no factor yet — live). SECONDARY = TERMINATED: a UCC-3 termination just hit the carrier's factor lien (carrier now factor-free — highest-value lead). UCC-3 terminations are genuinely RARE — surfaced when they occur; an empty terminated list is honest, not a dead feed. Omit type to get the default (leads with primary=virgin, carries secondary=terminated). UCC coverage is partial and marked HONESTLY per state (uccCoverage); a carrier in a non-covered state is never labelled 'virgin'. Filter by type and state.

C2.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Since annotations are absent, the description carries the full burden and discloses key behaviors: partial UCC coverage marked honestly, empty terminated list is truthful, default type behavior, and the rarity of UCC-3 terminations. This adds significant context beyond the schema.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is verbose, dense with domain jargon, and lacks clear structure. It uses stream-of-consciousness style (e.g., 'PRIMARY = VIRGIN: a fresh authority...') rather than concise, front-loaded sentences.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description covers type, state, default behavior, and data honesty, but does not explain the output format (no output schema) or the role of the 'limit' parameter. For a tool with 3 params and no annotations, this is adequate but not complete.

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 67% (type and state described). The description explains the meaning of 'virgin' and 'terminated' and the default when type is omitted, adding value beyond schema. However, the 'limit' parameter is not mentioned at all.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description states the tool is a 'real-time factor-SWITCH lead feed' but does not use a clear verb like 'list' or 'get'. The purpose is implied but obscured by jargon, making it less accessible for an AI agent.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus sibling tools (e.g., new_authority_feed, search_carriers). The description contrasts with 'static annual UCC buckets' but does not mention alternatives or exclusion criteria.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but carrier_risk_lookup and safety_screen are nearly identical risk screening tools, and new_authority_feed and new_carriers are explicitly aliases, creating redundancy that could confuse an agent.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming conventions are inconsistent: most use snake_case but pattern varies (noun_verb, verb_noun, noun_noun), and new_authority_feed mixes camelCase. No consistent verb_noun pattern.

Tool Count5/5

9 tools is well-scoped for a freight intelligence server, covering lookup, risk, search, chameleon detection, and switch signals without being overwhelming.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers core workflows: carrier lookup, risk screening, chameleon checks, new carrier leads, search, and factor switch detection. Minor gap: no direct tool for individual inspection details, but those are embedded in risk screens.
