Read-onlyIdempotent

Use this when reviewing RetailHardHat store-development budgets, category cost breakdowns, or recorded actual-versus-estimated overruns. Returns source-separated category totals and unknown-actual warnings. Do not use for personal finance, new estimates, forecasts, or committed-cost accounting.

A4.7/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

While annotations confirm this is a read-only operation (safe), the description adds crucial behavioral details about the output format: it 'Returns source-separated category totals and unknown-actual warnings.' This context is invaluable for the AI to handle the results.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely lean and efficient. It front-loads the core usage instruction and immediately follows with constraints and output behavior, achieving maximum information density without being wordy.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the complexity of budget and finance tools, the description is highly complete. It scopes the domain (RetailHardHat), defines the boundaries (no forecasting/personal finance), and clarifies the expected output detail (totals and warnings). No major gaps exist.

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?

The schema coverage is 100%, establishing a baseline of 3. The description improves this by providing domain context—the `siteId` is used to inspect specific 'RetailHardHat' organizational records, which provides semantic weight to the single optional parameter.

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?

The description clearly states the function is to summarize budget overruns, specifically relating it to 'RetailHardHat store-development budgets, category cost breakdowns, or recorded actual-versus-estimated overruns.' It is highly specific.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

This dimension is handled perfectly. The tool provides clear guidance on both when to use it ('review budgets') and, critically, when not to use it ('Do not use for personal finance, new estimates, forecasts, or committed-cost accounting').

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