See what's moving in your market

get_market_signals
Read-only

Use this when the person asks what's changing in their market or their buyers' markets, or needs a reason a buyer might act now. Returns relevance-ranked signals (trends, buyer pain, moves by the alternatives buyers weigh, regulatory and tech shifts, hiring and funding), each with its impact on buyers and a recommended action. Signals come from Market Pulse; if the account has no Market Pulse yet, it says so.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations cover read-only and open-world status, and the description adds meaningful context beyond that: the data source (Market Pulse), the graceful-failure behavior when no Market Pulse exists, and the shape of each signal (impact + recommended action). It doesn't cover latency, freshness, or what relevance ranking is based on, but it goes well past the annotation baseline.

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 usage condition is front-loaded, followed by output shape and the fallback case. Three sentences, all contributing; only the enumerated category list borders on restating the enum.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the return-value burden and does so: it describes ranking, per-signal fields, and the empty-state message. An agent can call this and interpret results without further documentation.

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 coverage is 100%, so all five parameters including the signalType enum and defaults are already documented. The description confirms the signals are relevance-ranked and category-filterable but adds no syntax or format detail the schema lacks.

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 resource (relevance-ranked market signals) and enumerates the signal categories returned, which is more than a restatement of the name. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from near-neighbors like get_disqualification_signals or get_competitive_positioning, which also surface market/competitive intelligence.

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?

Gives a clear triggering condition: the person asks what's changing in their market or buyers' markets, or needs a reason a buyer might act now. No explicit when-not or named alternative, so it stops short of full routing guidance.

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