get_public_holidays

FREE. Official public-holiday calendar for a supported country, including gazetted movable holidays, with the official government source cited. Some countries also carry sub-national calendars (e.g. the German Laender): the subdivisions field lists them, and passing subdivision (ISO 3166-2, e.g. 'DE-BY') returns the national calendar merged with that region's statutory days.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool is free, official, includes movable holidays, cites government sources, and handles sub-national calendars with merging and tagging. This provides adequate transparency about the tool's behavior.

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 well-structured with the core purpose front-loaded. It is concise but includes necessary detail about subdivisions. The word 'FREE.' could be considered extraneous, but overall it is efficient.

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 the tool's simplicity and full schema coverage, the description is complete. It explains the main function and the subdivision option. Without an output schema, it could benefit from mentioning return format, but the description of merged/tagged calendar suffices.

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 input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The description adds value by explaining the 'subdivisions' field and that passing 'subdivision' returns a merged, tagged calendar, which enhances meaning beyond the schema.

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 retrieves official public holiday calendars for supported countries, including movable holidays and government source citation. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools (e.g., count_working_days, settlement_date) by focusing solely on holiday data.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description explains when to use the tool (retrieve public holidays) and provides context for sub-national calendars via the subdivision parameter. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or compare it to alternatives, though siblings are distinct.

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

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct operation: minimum wage, income tax, VAT, working days, holidays, series data, and settlement dates. No overlap in purpose.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., check_minimum_wage, compute_income_tax, get_public_holidays, list_series). Only 'settlement_date' is a noun phrase but still clear.

Tool Count5/5

10 tools cover a well-scoped domain of economic reference data without bloat. The count feels appropriate for the server's purpose.

Completeness4/5

Covers core areas: wage, tax, VAT, holidays, series, settlement dates. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no social security or currency data), but the scope is clearly defined and noted.
