A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint/openWorldHint annotations, the description discloses the cost ($0.005 USDC) up front and enumerates the returned fields including the 10b5-1 flag, which is genuinely useful payload context. It does not mention rate limits, pagination, or the free-sibling alternative, and payment mechanics are left to the 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?

Three compact clauses: price first, then the triggering question, then the payload contents. Zero filler and the cost — the most decision-critical fact — is front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the field enumeration usefully substitutes for a return spec, and the price disclosure matters for a paid tool. However, three of four parameters remain unexplained and there is no note on what happens for tickers with no Form 4 activity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 25% — API-key auth is documented in the schema, but ticker, limit, and open_market have no descriptions anywhere. The description lists output fields rather than explaining parameters and never clarifies whether open_market filters to open-market purchases or whether limit caps rows.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb-scope ('insiders are buying or selling a stock') and the exact data source (parsed SEC Form 4), plus the concrete fields returned. Scope is clear enough to separate it from broad siblings like stock_filings, though no sibling is named explicitly.

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?

'Use when an agent asks whether insiders are buying or selling a stock' is an explicit, actionable trigger. No when-not conditions or named alternatives (e.g., stock_filings for non-Form-4 filings) are given, so it stops short of a 5.

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