catalog_list

Read-onlyIdempotent

USE THIS BEFORE calling simulate_bond to discover available bonds, or to disambiguate a user's reference (e.g. 'IPCA+ 2050' → which exact maturityDate?). Lists every Tesouro Direto bond currently in the official catalog, grouped by family.

Each product includes launchDate and maturityDate; Renda+/Educa+ also include conversionDate and installments (240 monthly payments for Renda+, 60 for Educa+). The year field meaning depends on family:

  • prefixado / IPCA+: catalog maturity-year key (e.g. 2031 → maturity in 2031).

  • Renda+ / Educa+: the conversion year shown on the label (e.g. Renda+ 2065 → conversion on 15 Jan 2065, NOT redemption year). Final redemption is ~20 years later for Renda+ and ~5 years later for Educa+.

Note: simulate_bond accepts bonds outside this catalog too (older maturities for historical simulation) — those calls succeed with a SYNTHESIZED_BOND warning in meta.warnings[] indicating the product was synthesized.

Returns: array of { type, label, products: [{ year, maturityDate, launchDate, conversionDate?, installments? }] }.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds substantial behavioral context beyond the annotations. It explains the meaning of the 'year' field varies by bond family, discloses that Renda+/Educa+ have conversion dates distinct from redemption, and warns that simulate_bond may synthesize bonds outside the catalog with a warning in meta.warnings[]. These details are not inferable from the annotations and provide critical operational knowledge.

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 well-structured with clear sections: usage, list scope, product fields, and family-specific year semantics. It is front-loaded with the most actionable instruction ('USE THIS BEFORE...'), and every sentence contributes necessary information without redundancy. Though lengthy, the complexity of the domain justifies the detail.

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?

The description is fully self-contained for a zero-parameter read-only tool. It covers the output shape, field semantics, special cases for Renda+/Educa+, and the relationship with simulate_bond. Given the output schema exists and the tool has no inputs, this is complete and leaves no critical ambiguity.

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?

With zero parameters, the input schema is empty, so the description does not need to clarify parameter meaning. The baseline for 0 params is 4, and the description focuses instead on the output structure and semantics, which is appropriate. No parameter-related gaps exist.

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 tool 'Lists every Tesouro Direto bond currently in the official catalog, grouped by family.' This is a specific verb+resource with scope, and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools like simulate_bond and price_history_lookup by focusing on catalog discovery. The use-case examples ('IPCA+ 2050' → maturityDate) further clarify its purpose.

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 guidance is provided: 'USE THIS BEFORE calling simulate_bond to discover available bonds, or to disambiguate a user's reference.' It also notes that simulate_bond accepts bonds outside the catalog, which helps agents decide when not to use this tool. This clearly differentiates when to use catalog_list versus alternatives.

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

A4.6/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes: catalog_list for discovery, live_quotes_lookup for real-time quotes, price_history_lookup for specific-date lookups, price_history_series for time series, price_history_ranking for cross-bond comparisons, and simulate_* for simulations. The overlap among the four quote/history tools is real but mitigated by detailed descriptions clarifying when each should be used.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tool names use lowercase snake_case with descriptive words, but the pattern is slightly mixed: catalog_list, live_quotes_lookup, and price_history_* follow an object+verb structure, while simulate_bond and simulate_redemption follow a verb+object structure. Though not perfectly uniform, the naming remains predictable and readable.

Tool Count5/5

With 8 tools, the server is well-scoped for its domain—covering catalog discovery, live and historical quotes, rankings, indicators, and simulations. No tool feels redundant or extraneous, and the count is well within the ideal 3-15 range.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers the core lifecycle: discover bonds, fetch live/historical rates, simulate pricing, and simulate redemption with tax details. A minor gap is that indicator_history currently supports only 'selic-target' despite implying broader coverage, but this does not undermine the server's primary purpose.
