Costory: Your Finops MCP

run_report_now

Destructive

Execute a saved Costory report and send it to every configured destination now. Use for an explicit request to run and deliver that report. Repeating the call can send duplicate messages; inspect execution outcomes after partial failure. DANGER ZONE: show the report name and complete destination list from get, then ask the user to confirm before calling. Returns canonical execution URLs and statuses. Never use this to recover only failed destinations.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
slugNoOrganization slug. Omit to auto-detect from your account (fails if you belong to multiple orgs).
contextYesA few words on why you are calling this tool, for the server developer's analytics. Describe people and things by role, such as "a customer". Do not quote the user or include names, emails, or other personal details.
reportIdYesReport id to run immediately.
llm_modelNoThe model identifier you are running as, for example "claude-opus-4-8" or "gpt-5.2". Pass "unknown" if you are not certain. Recorded for the server developer's analytics.
conversation_idNoThe conversation_id this server returned earlier in this conversation, unchanged, including after later user messages. Omit it if you have none. Recorded for the server developer's analytics.

  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already flag destructive=true and openWorldHint=true, but the description adds non-obvious behavior the annotations cannot express: repeated calls may send duplicate messages, partial failures need outcome inspection, and delivery fans out to every configured destination. It also discloses the return content ('canonical execution URLs and statuses'), which matters for a tool with no output schema.

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?

Five short sentences, front-loaded with the action and risk, then usage, then the confirmation workflow. Every clause carries operational weight: the duplicate-send warning, the partial-failure note, and the exclusion each prevent a distinct failure mode.

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?

For a destructive, open-world, no-output-schema tool, the description covers the safety gate, idempotency hazard, recovery guidance, and return shape. Nothing an agent needs in order to call this correctly and safely appears to be missing.

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 reportId, slug, context, llm_model and conversation_id are already documented inline, and the baseline is 3. The description adds only indirect context — that the report name and destinations should be pulled via get before calling — without explaining any parameter's format or constraints, so it neither compensates nor detracts.

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 opening sentence gives a specific verb and resource ('Execute a saved Costory report') plus the side effect ('send it to every configured destination now'), so the agent immediately knows this is an immediate run-and-deliver action rather than a lookup. The closing line separates it from a failure-recovery tool ('Never use this to recover only failed destinations'), which is enough to distinguish it from retry/execution siblings.

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 states the positive trigger ('Use for an explicit request to run and deliver that report'), an explicit exclusion ('Never use this to recover only failed destinations'), and a required pre-call protocol (show report name and full destination list from get, then ask for confirmation). The agent has both the when and the when-not, plus the sequencing needed before invocation.

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