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.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world). The description adds real behavioral context: result vs releases payload split, coverage semantics, that empty coverage means stories have not arrived yet and should be polled, schedule_status for postponements, and that cursors/selection/order 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?

Front-loads the identity and ranking rule, then layers operational guidance. It is dense and every clause carries information, but the mid-paragraph run of coverage/polling/schedule caveats is packed tightly enough that readability suffers slightly.

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?

An output schema exists, yet the description still usefully sketches the result/releases shape and polling semantics for an agent deciding whether to call now or later. Nothing an agent needs to invoke this correctly, or to interpret an empty response, 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 the baseline is 3, but the description adds semantics not in the schema: dedupe=false keeps reprints while deduped items carry story_id and distinct-source counts, min_relevance 7+ keeps release-day events, and detail='compact' enumerates exactly what is returned. That is genuine added meaning over the schema text.

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?

States a specific resource and scope immediately: market-wide central-bank, inflation/jobs, commodity and geopolitical news, ranked novelty-first. It distinguishes itself from siblings by naming alphai_calendar and alphai_article as adjacent tools and by noting 'Macro stories often have no tickers', which separates it from ticker-scoped feeds.

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 concrete when-to-use routing: use releases for 'did the jobs report come out', use alphai_calendar for dates beyond 24h, use alphai_article to expand uids, and poll later when coverage is empty. It lacks an explicit when-NOT-to-use against nearby siblings like alphai_news_search or alphai_stories, so it stops short of the top band.

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