Fetch one sealed forecast by its id (e.g. 'IA-RU-008', 'LA-011', 'IA-MKT-002'). Returns the full record incl. verbatim claim, grade, outcome, sources, and seal hash.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description transparently discloses that the tool returns a full record including verbatim claim, grade, outcome, sources, and seal hash. It does not mention error handling or rate limits, but such omissions are minor for a simple fetch operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences efficiently convey the action, parameter, and return content. The first sentence front-loads the purpose, and the second lists return fields without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple one-parameter input and no output schema, the description fully compensates by detailing return fields. It provides sufficient information for an agent to understand the tool's inputs and outputs without missing context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema already describes the 'id' parameter, but the description adds meaningful context by providing example formats and explaining that the id refers to a 'sealed forecast'. This additional semantic information improves parameter understanding beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Fetch' and the resource 'one sealed forecast', with specific id format examples (e.g., 'IA-RU-008'). This distinctively identifies the tool's purpose versus siblings like search_sealed_forecasts or get_map.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives. For instance, it doesn't mention that if you don't have an advisory id, you should use search_sealed_forecasts first. The description implies usage only when an id is available.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes (fetch one forecast vs. list open calls vs. search), but neural_search and search_sealed_forecasts both retrieve from the same corpus, and ask_the_record overlaps slightly with neural_search for site-copy questions. Descriptions mitigate ambiguity, but a few boundaries require careful reading.
The dominant pattern is get_<noun> (get_advisory, get_map, get_luck_test), with list_open_calls, search_sealed_forecasts, ask_the_record, and neural_search as deviations. All names are lowercase snake_case and readable, but the verb prefixes are not perfectly uniform.
With 13 tools, the server is well-scoped for a specialized sealed-forecast corpus. Each tool addresses a distinct analytical or retrieval need, and the count fits comfortably in the ideal range without feeling bloated or thin.
The tool surface covers the full lifecycle of interacting with the corpus: search, retrieve, list, inspect stats, verify integrity, regrade, visualize, and ask questions. The append-only nature means no update/delete tools are needed, so the set is complete for its stated purpose.
