Read the edition of a signal

get_edition
Read-onlyIdempotent

The published edition in full: title, lead, the "In 30 seconds" brief when the edition has one, the three vectors, the text blocks with each paragraph labelled FACT, HYPOTHESIS or SCENARIO, the indicators to watch, and the figures recomputed at build time.

B3.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, closed-world behavior, and the description adds useful return-content context: conditional brief inclusion, paragraph labelling, and recomputed figures. It does not discuss error behavior for missing slugs, but it provides substantial detail beyond the safety annotations.

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?

The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no filler, and it immediately states that the full published edition is returned. The dense content list is efficient, though slightly harder to scan than a lightly structured breakdown.

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?

For a simple read-only tool with rich annotations and no output schema, the description adequately covers returned content. However, it omits the required slug parameter's semantics and gives no sibling routing guidance, leaving meaningful gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should explain the single required slug parameter. It never mentions the slug, its format, or its constraints, leaving the schema's pattern and maxLength to carry all parameter meaning.

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 clearly identifies the resource as the published edition of a signal and enumerates its contents, while the title supplies the read verb. It does not explicitly distinguish this from sibling tools such as get_signal or get_export.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. The description only describes what the edition contains, leaving routing decisions to the agent.

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