Get Overdue Promises

get_overdue_promises

List commitments that have passed their stated target deadline without verified delivery or resolution. Includes calculated delay severity (days overdue) and original executive quotes.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

  "id": 1,

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNo
tickerNoStock ticker symbol, e.g. INTC

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
noticeNoFree-tier upgrade notice; only when results are masked/delayed.
resultsYesTool result payload (read-only evidence). Shape varies by tool; scoring weights are never exposed.
history_limitNoPresent when the license limits history depth: earliest_allowed date, history_days and how many older items were removed.
deprecated_fieldsNoPresent only while a renamed key is still returned next to its replacement: field (old key), replacement (new key, same value), removal (ISO date after which the old key is gone).

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The description frames this as a 'List' operation (read-only), while annotations declare readOnlyHint=false — an inconsistency an agent could trip over. On the positive side, it does disclose return content (calculated delay severity and original executive quotes) that the annotations don't cover, which keeps it above the floor.

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?

Two tight sentences, front-loaded with the defining condition (missed deadline, no verified delivery) followed by what the caller gets back. No filler.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-shape details are covered elsewhere, and the tool takes only optional params. But the read-only conflict with annotations and the unexplained filtering/limit behavior leave gaps an agent must guess at.

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 50% (ticker is documented, limit is not), and the description says nothing about either parameter — no mention of ticker scoping or the default/maximum record limit. It adds no meaning beyond the schema.

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?

Specific verb+resource+scope: 'List commitments that have passed their stated target deadline without verified delivery or resolution.' That clearly separates overdue promises from open ones, but it never names siblings like get_open_promises or search_management_promises to reinforce the boundary.

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?

The definition of 'overdue' implies the use case (accountability checks on missed deadlines), but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no mention of when to prefer get_open_promises or search_management_promises, and no stated prerequisites.

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