AlphAI

Macro tape (market-wide)

alphai_macro

Read-onlyIdempotent

Market-wide central-bank, inflation/jobs, commodity and geopolitical news, ranked novelty-first. Macro stories often have no tickers. Filter categories or min_relevance; dedupe=false keeps reprints, otherwise items carry story_id and distinct-source counts. result contains stories; releases contains scheduled US releases in the same window and the next 24h, with coverage. For 'did the jobs report come out', inspect releases first. Elapsed with empty coverage means stories have not arrived yet: poll later, and check schedule_status for postponements. Use alphai_calendar for future dates beyond 24h. AI-generated context, not investment advice. Use detail='compact' for headlines, sources, times, tickers, scores and story/search metadata without summary, analysis or SEC detail blocks. Expand uids with alphai_article. detail='full' is default; selection, order, cursors and page metadata are identical.

A4.8/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world, so the safety bar is met; the description then adds genuinely new behavior: dedupe=false preserves reprints vs deduped items carrying story_id and distinct-source counts, and the elapsed/empty-coverage condition means stories have not arrived yet. It also explains schedule_status for postponements and that selection, order and cursors are identical across detail modes.

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?

Dense but front-loaded: purpose first, then filtering, then the releases/stories split, then polling guidance, then detail modes. A couple of clauses duplicate the schema almost verbatim (the compact/full explanation), and the sentence count is high, but nothing is pure filler.

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 and rich annotations, so the description needn't explain return values; instead it spends its budget on the non-obvious parts: that result holds stories while releases holds scheduled US releases in-window plus next 24h, and what an empty coverage with elapsed time means. 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.

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description still adds meaning: dedupe=false keeps reprints while default collapses coverage by story, and detail='compact' is spelled out as headlines/sources/times/tickers/scores and metadata without summary or analysis. That is a modest but real lift above the schema text, which largely repeats the same content.

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?

Opens with a specific verb-and-resource framing: market-wide central-bank, inflation/jobs, commodity and geopolitical news, ranked novelty-first. It distinguishes itself from ticker-scoped siblings by noting macro stories often have no tickers, and explicitly routes article expansion to alphai_article.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives concrete routing rules: use releases first for 'did the jobs report come out', use alphai_calendar for dates beyond 24h, poll later when coverage is empty. It also names the filter knobs (categories, min_relevance) and the dedupe trade-off, so the agent knows when to reach for each.

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