Resolve a company name to a DFX entity

resolve_organization
Read-onlyIdempotent

Turn an owner, manager, lender or servicer name into canonical DFX entity ids. A name is treated as a blocking key and never as an identity, so all candidates are returned rather than a guess. Free. Person lookup is deliberately not offered.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesCompany name as written anywhere: owner, manager, lender or servicer, for example 'KeyBank'. It is matched as a blocking key, so a partial or differently punctuated name returns several candidates rather than one chosen match.
limitNoMax 50. Every candidate is returned rather than a best guess, so a common name spends this whole budget.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover safety (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world). The description adds value beyond them: it is free, it returns all candidates rather than a best guess, and it declines person lookup. Return-shape behavior is disclosed even without an 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?

Four short sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, then the key semantic caveat, then cost and scope. No filler or repetition.

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?

For a read-only 2-param resolver with no output schema, the description covers purpose, semantics, cost, and scope exclusions adequately. It leaves slight ambiguity about how it relates to search_entities for the same name-to-id task.

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 coverage is 100% and both parameters are fully documented in the schema, so the baseline is 3. The description's blocking-key explanation largely restates what the schema already states for both 'name' and 'limit'.

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?

States a specific verb (resolve), resource (organization name), and output (canonical DFX entity ids), and explicitly distinguishes itself from person lookup. An agent can tell it apart from search_entities/get_entity without opening any schema.

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?

Gives clear context for use (owner, manager, lender or servicer names) and an explicit exclusion ('Person lookup is deliberately not offered'), which implicitly routes to search_people. It does not explicitly name when to prefer this over search_entities or get_entity, so it stops short of full when/when-not guidance.

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