A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, destructiveHint=false), and the description adds genuinely useful non-schema context: API-key requirement and the specific failure mode (anonymous calls return subscription_required with a subscribe link). It also discloses output form (plain-text table/raw rows) and history depth (multi-year daily central-bank rates), which goes beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose is front-loaded and clear, but the description is bloated by re-listing all 23 supported currencies and 20 indicator slugs that already appear verbatim in the schema. Those duplicated enumerations dilute the otherwise efficient prose.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, and the description still covers the essentials an agent needs: auth requirements, granularity, history depth, output format, and extended-parameter values. Complete enough for correct invocation; only the absence of explicit sibling routing keeps it short of 5.

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%, so the schema already documents all five parameters, including the currency and indicator lists. The description's own currency and indicator lists duplicate the schema rather than adding syntax, format, or defaulting detail, so it lands at the baseline 3.

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 and resource ('Get raw historical FX spot-rate rows for a currency pair') with concrete examples, and clarifies it returns data only, without chart metadata, which implicitly separates it from the visual-artifact sibling. It does not name a sibling tool outright, so an agent must infer the boundary against forex_visual_artifact or fx_intraday_reference_rates.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage context is implied rather than stated: 'Returns data only, without chart metadata' and 'Daily granularity' suggest when to pick this over a chart or intraday tool, but no explicit when-to-use/when-not guidance or named alternative is given. Adequate but leaves routing to inference.

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