Describe Treasury Dataframes

treasury_dataframe_describe
Read-onlyIdempotent

List DataCanvas dataframes materialized by treasury_query_dataset, treasury_get_debt, treasury_get_interest_rates, and treasury_get_exchange_rates. Each entry surfaces source tool, query parameters, creation/expiry timestamps, row count, and column schema. Use this tool before treasury_dataframe_query to discover table names and column types. Requires CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE=duckdb.

Input Schema

Output Schema

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, so the base safety profile is covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral context: the list includes source tool, query parameters, timestamps, row count, and schema, and the tool requires a specific DuckDB provider. No contradictions.

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, each earning its place: action/resource, returned entry fields, and usage direction plus prerequisite. Information is front-loaded and there is no redundant wording or fluff.

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?

The tool has an output schema, so return values need not be spelled out. The description covers scope, entry contents, usage ordering, and environment requirement, while annotations handle safety. 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% for the single optional 'name' parameter, so the schema already carries the semantic weight. The top-level description does not add parameter-level detail beyond what the schema states, matching the baseline for full coverage.

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 uses a specific verb ('List') and uniquely identifies the resource: DataCanvas dataframes materialized by four named source tools. It further distinguishes itself from treasury_dataframe_query by framing the tool as metadata discovery rather than data query.

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?

Explicitly states when to use the tool: 'Use this tool before treasury_dataframe_query to discover table names and column types.' It also gives a prerequisite (CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE=duckdb). However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling treasury_list_datasets, leaving a minor gap in alternative differentiation.

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