get_connections

Retrieve Coordination Connections (CCs) — the typed, directional relationships WEO records between events — optionally filtered by event (as source or target), type (1–7), or confidence (CC-V / CC-E / CC-A). For a single CC by its identifier, use get_connection_by_id. Each CC carries its id, source/target event IDs, type name + number, confidence, and direction; full tier — and either tier when an endpoint is a sample event — adds the evidence summary, evidence detail, and verification history.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations and no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining behavior, and it does so well by listing the returned fields and the tier-dependent addition of evidence summary, evidence detail, and verification history. It does not mention pagination or result-size behavior, which keeps it from a 5.

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 appropriately sized for a filtered list operation and front-loads purpose before details. It is dense but not padded; only the tier-dependent clause adds moderate complexity, but it is relevant and earns its place.

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?

Given no output schema, the description does a strong job covering what results contain and how tier changes the payload. It does not explicitly state default behavior when no filters are supplied or whether results are paginated, so an agent still has minor uncertainty.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the input schema already documents all three parameters. The description reinforces the semantic role of each filter but adds little beyond what the schema states, meriting the baseline score.

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 uses a specific verb ('Retrieve') with a precise resource ('Coordination Connections') and immediately distinguishes the list-oriented query from the single-record sibling, get_connection_by_id. It also names the entity relationship and optional filters, making the tool's scope unmistakable.

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?

It explicitly states when to use the single-record alternative ('For a single CC by its identifier, use get_connection_by_id'), which is clear routing guidance. It also enumerates the optional filter dimensions, giving an agent enough context to decide whether this tool fits a request.

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
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct data slice or operation. For example, `get_actors` retrieves full actor profiles while `query_scp` offers pivoting and comparison; `search_events` finds event IDs and `get_event` retrieves a full record; `get_threads` provides material links separate from `traverse_coordination` for lineage walks. There is no overlap in purpose.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent `verb_noun` pattern with underscore separators. Most use `get_` for retrieval, with `query_scp`, `search_events`, and `traverse_coordination` using different verbs that accurately reflect their distinct actions. The naming is predictable and intuitive.

Tool Count5/5

16 tools is well-scoped for the complexity of an observation platform that covers actors, blocs, events, connections, topology, vocabulary, statistics, and material links. Each tool earns its place by covering a necessary query pattern without unnecessary fragmentation.

Completeness5/5

The tool set provides comprehensive coverage of the domain: actor retrieval and querying (profiles, comparisons, watch), bloc membership, event discovery and full records, connection traversal and filtering, structural topology, material links, vocabulary lookups, and summary statistics. No obvious gaps in read access are present.
