US Market Status

GetMarketStatus
Read-only

Get the current US equity market status (NYSE/Nasdaq), evaluated in America/New_York: whether the market is open, the current session (pre-market, regular, after-hours, or closed), whether today is a full-day holiday or a 1:00 p.m. ET early close, today's regular and extended (pre-market/after-hours) trading hours, and the next open and next close. Backed by the exchange's curated holiday and early-close calendar, not a heuristic.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, but the description adds valuable context: it is based on the exchange's curated holiday/early-close calendar rather than heuristics, and specifies timezone evaluation. This goes beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

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?

The description is a single sentence that is information-dense, enumerating all output fields without verbose embellishment. It is front-loaded with the main purpose and every clause provides useful detail, though the long list of outputs makes it slightly dense rather than crisp.

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?

Despite lacking an output schema, the description explicitly enumerates the return fields: open status, current session, holiday/early-close indicator, trading hours, and next open/close. This fully sets expectations for a parameterless, read-only tool, making it self-contained and complete.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Tool has 0 parameters, so schema coverage is complete and the description adds no parameter-level information. The baseline for 0 params is 4, and nothing in the description reduces this, though it also doesn't need to add semantics for nonexistent parameters.

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 clearly states the tool gets current US equity market status, listing specific attributes like session, holiday/early close, and trading hours. It uses a specific verb and resource, and clearly distinguishes from siblings like GetMarketCalendar or GetLiveQuote.

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?

The description implies usage context by detailing the exact information returned (open status, session, hours), making it obvious when to use this tool for current market state. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions, so it stops short of full guidance.

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

B3.4/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, with detailed descriptions that cross-reference related alternatives. A few near-duplicate names could cause misselection, notably SearchDocument versus SearchDocuments and GetCftcPositioning versus GetLatestCftcPositioning.

Naming Consistency5/5

Tool names consistently follow a VerbNoun camelCase pattern: Get for retrievals, Search for discovery, List/Read for document access, and Add/Close/Remove/Update/Watch/Create/Delete for portfolio mutations. Despite the large count, there is no mixing of naming conventions or unpredictable verb styles.

Tool Count1/5

108 tools is an extreme surface area, far beyond the 3-15 well-scoped range and well past the 25+ threshold. Even for a broad financial data platform, this creates a heavy selection burden and substantial context overhead for agents.

Completeness4/5

The server covers an unusually wide domain: prices, fundamentals, SEC filings, options, insider activity, 13F holdings, short interest, macro data, funds, IPOs, and full portfolio lifecycle management. Notable gaps remain, such as a basic company profile/ticker-resolution tool, dividend history, and analyst estimates, so it is not a perfect 5.
