Security deposit rules for a state (and city)

deposit_settlement_rules
Read-onlyIdempotent

Looks up the security deposit rules (deposits only) for one US state, with a covered city's deposit ordinance (Chicago, San Francisco, Berkeley, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Saint Paul). Inputs: state (two-letter code); optional city. Returns the deposit return deadline and what starts it, itemization and documentation duties, allowed deductions and depreciation, deposit interest, penalties, the deposit cap and recent changes, with citations. Not for: settling a specific move-out (deposit_settlement_settle does that), evictions, unpaid-rent collection, rent increases or rent control, lease renewal or notice periods, legal advice. Deterministic and source-cited: the same input gives the same result.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cityNoOptional city for its overlay (e.g. 'Chicago').
as_ofNoOptional date (YYYY-MM-DD): show the law in force on that day, for a past move-out the day the tenancy ended. Omitted: the current law.
auditNoAlso return the run record and input/result hashes (an audit trail). Default false.
stateYesUS state, 2-letter code or name (e.g. 'TX').
serve_pinnedNoOptional, with expect_ruleset. True asks us to answer under the ruleset version you named even when the rules have changed since, from that version's signed bundle; the result says so in served_from_bundle. We refuse a version older than 12 months, one a later correction or law change replaced for your state, or one we have no bundle for. Default false: the call fails whenever the rules have changed.
expect_rulesetNoOptional. The ruleset version you built against, as results carry it in provenance.ruleset_version (e.g. 'sd-2026.11.14'), or its sha256: hash. If the rules have changed since, the call fails (nothing computed, nothing charged) and says what is in force now, so you upgrade on your own schedule. Leave it out to answer under the current rules.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the safety profile is free; the description adds genuinely new traits: deterministic and source-cited results, plus the fact that a failed pre-check computes and charges nothing. It does not surface the ruleset-pinning/upgrade failure mode, though the schema covers that thoroughly.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, covered cities, inputs, then exclusions — a sensible order. Slightly dense and mildly redundant ("with citations" then "source-cited"), but nearly every clause carries information.

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?

Return contents, scope, exclusions and determinism are covered, and an output schema exists so return values need not be spelled out. The historical "as_of" capability and ruleset-pinning behavior go unmentioned in prose, but the schema documents both in detail.

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 100%, so the baseline applies. The description restates state and city but is silent on as_of, audit, expect_ruleset and serve_pinned, so it adds little semantic value beyond the schema's own descriptions.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ("Looks up the security deposit rules ... for one US state") and bounds scope immediately with "(deposits only)", plus enumerates the covered city ordinances. The agent can distinguish it from deposit_settlement_settle without opening either schema.

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?

Explicit "Not for:" list rules out move-out settlement, evictions, rent collection, rent control, lease renewal and legal advice, and names the alternative sibling (deposit_settlement_settle) with the condition that selects it. Both when-to-use and when-not-to-use are covered.

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