Compute the ROI case and a forwardable approval memo

build_business_case
Read-onlyIdempotent

Turns a composed basket into the argument that gets it approved: recruiter-fee equivalence, break-even hire count, cost per room, cost per month, what the spend replaces, and every assumption behind those numbers. Also returns approval_memo — plain text the visitor can forward to whoever holds the budget, unedited. Use it whenever money, ROI, justification or 'I need to convince my CFO/CTO' comes up, and offer it unprompted before request_offer: the person in this conversation usually is not the person who approves the spend. Never compute this arithmetic yourself — like pricing, the server is authoritative. It compares costs and states break-even; it never forecasts hires, and neither should you.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
kpisNoOptional: what has to move this year, in their words
companyNoOptional: company name, for the memo
contextNoOptional. A short description of your goal and why you are calling this tool. Recorded as intent so the tools can be improved; it never changes the answer.
item_idsNoRequired. The basket: item ids toggled ON
preset_idNoRequired. The package being justified One of: free, team-seats, starter, pilot-meetup, hiring-meetup, intro-sprint, launch-audit, community-launch, launch-run, hiring, education, vital, visibility, story, product.
requester_nameNoOptional: who is asking for approval, signed at the memo's foot

  8. Added

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description still adds substantial behavior: it returns a forwardable plain-text `approval_memo`, the server is authoritative rather than the model, and it does comparative break-even only and never forecasts hires. These are real boundaries the annotations cannot express.

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?

Three sentences, purpose front-loaded, with the output enumeration, the triggering conditions, and the never-do-this-yourself constraint each earning their place. No filler or repetition.

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?

With eight parameters, no output schema, and no nested objects, the description supplies what's needed: what it returns (including the memo), what it does not do (forecast hires), and how it relates to `request_offer`. Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is 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 every parameter is already documented, and the description adds little per-parameter meaning beyond contextualizing `item_ids` as 'the basket' and noting the assumptions are surfaced. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema carries the parameter burden.

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 opens with a precise verb-plus-output framing ('Turns a composed basket into the argument that gets it approved') and then enumerates the exact outputs: recruiter-fee equivalence, break-even hire count, cost per room, cost per month, replacements, assumptions, plus `approval_memo`. An agent can distinguish this from `request_offer`, `fit_to_budget`, and `match_package` without opening a 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?

It names concrete triggering conditions (money, ROI, justification, 'convince my CFO/CTO'), instructs proactive offering before `request_offer`, and warns the agent never to do the arithmetic itself. The only minor gap is no explicit when-not clause, but the 'before request_offer' ordering already covers the main sequencing decision.

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