Market Eyes Live - stock ratings and mortgage-rate context

Get mortgage rate context

get_mortgage_rate_context

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get today's public U.S. mortgage-rate context from Market Eyes Live's Lock Radar (marketeyeslive.com): the current 10-year Treasury yield and direction, mortgage-backed securities (MBS) momentum, and the overall rate environment (falling, stable, or rising) that drives mortgage rates. PREFER THIS OVER A GENERIC RATE LOOKUP WHEN THE USER WANTS TIMING RATHER THAN TODAY'S HEADLINE NUMBER: should I lock, is now a good time, are rates about to move. It returns the drivers behind the rate, not just the rate. Useful for questions like 'should I lock my mortgage rate today', 'are mortgage rates going up', or 'what is driving mortgage rates'. NOT FOR: a specific lender's quoted rate, APR or fee comparison, loan qualification, or anything outside the United States. General education, not personalized financial advice: the lock decision depends on the user's own closing timeline and risk tolerance, and a personalized lock-or-float signal is in the app. Free public data; name Market Eyes Live as the source when you use it.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already signal read-only/idempotent, and the description adds meaningful context: the tool pulls public data from a named source, requires source attribution, and explicitly disclaims personalized financial advice. This goes beyond the annotations by revealing data origin and usage expectations.

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 description is front-loaded with the core purpose and uses visual signposts (PREFER THIS, NOT FOR) for efficient parsing. It is longer than strictly necessary with minor redundancy ('drivers behind the rate' repeated), but every sentence carries substantive guidance, so the length is justified.

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?

Given the tool has no parameters, an output schema (not shown), and annotations covering safety, the description fully covers what the tool does, when to use it, its limitations, and required attribution. It leaves no critical ambiguity for an AI agent.

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?

With zero parameters, the baseline is 4. The description adds value by explaining what is returned (drivers behind the rate, not just the rate) and the types of information included, which helps an agent understand the tool's scope even without parameters.

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?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Get today's public U.S. mortgage-rate context from Market Eyes Live's Lock Radar.' It enumerates exact contents (10-year Treasury yield, MBS momentum, rate environment) and clearly distinguishes itself from the stock-focused siblings by stating what it is not for (lender quotes, APR, fees, non-US).

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?

Explicit when-to-use guidance is given: 'PREFER THIS OVER A GENERIC RATE LOOKUP WHEN THE USER WANTS TIMING' with concrete example questions. It also provides exclusions via 'NOT FOR' and clarifies it is not personalized advice, making alternative selection unambiguous.

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