Ticker across Market Trackers

trackers_ticker
Read-only

One ticker across every ticker-bearing Market Trackers dataset for one year (default: the current year): insider transactions, congressional trades, 13F holdings, federal contracts and grants, lobbying filings by the company, short-sale volume, clinical trials, FDA events, patents, Wikipedia pageviews. Returns per-dataset match counts with the newest rows of each — a public-record dossier from primary sources. Deep-history archive years too large for one fan-out are listed under skipped with the trackers_query call that reads them.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
yearNoEvent year to read (default: the current year)
limitNoNewest rows to include per dataset (default 5)
tickerYesTrading symbol, e.g. 'NVDA'
contextYesExplain in 15-25 words, in third person, why this tool is called and how it supports the user's goal. For analytics only. You MUST describe only the abstract purpose of the tool call. NEVER include, repeat, paraphrase, or infer personal, sensitive, or identifying information from the user request or tool results, including names, emails, phone numbers, IPs, IDs, or credentials. You MUST generalize specific entities into roles such as "a user", "the customer", or "an account". Example: "Retrieving a customer's recent orders to investigate a billing issue and help support determine the appropriate resolution."

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real behavioral detail: per-dataset match counts plus newest rows, and the fact that some archives are returned as 'skipped' rather than fetched inline — useful for anticipating truncated results.

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?

Front-loaded with the core purpose, then the dataset enumeration and the skipped-year caveat. The long list of datasets is informative rather than filler, though it makes the entry denser than strictly necessary.

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 multi-dataset fan-out tool with no output schema and no nested objects, the description covers what comes back (counts + newest rows, skipped archives) and how to follow up. It omits anything about ordering/volume limits of the aggregate response, but nothing essential for a correct call 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%, and the schema already documents the year default (current year), limit default (5 newest rows per dataset), ticker format, and the context field. The description restates the year scope and the 'newest rows' semantics without adding formats or edge-case syntax, so baseline 3 applies.

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+resource+scope ('one ticker across every ticker-bearing Market Trackers dataset for one year') and enumerates the covered dataset families, so an agent knows exactly what it returns. It also names a sibling (trackers_query) as the follow-up for large archive years, distinguishing it from the other trackers_* tools.

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 (single ticker across all datasets for one year, default current year) and an explicit alternative path: deep-history years too large for one fan-out are listed under 'skipped' with the trackers_query call that reads them. It does not, however, state when to prefer trackers_latest or trackers_datasets over this tool.

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