Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.4/5 across 24 of 24 tools scored. Lowest: 3.2/5.
Each tool has a clearly defined purpose with distinct actions on specific financial entities (accounts, transactions, bills, investments, loans, connections). The openfinance_ prefix groups related tools, and the verb-noun structure combined with detailed descriptions leaves no ambiguity about what each tool does.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., openfinance_list_accounts, openfinance_get_credit_card_bill). The general tools like authenticate and marketplace also follow simple verb forms. No mixing of conventions or unpredictable names.
With 24 tools, the set is slightly large but appropriate for a comprehensive Open Finance integration covering accounts, transactions, credit cards, investments, loans, and connections. Each tool serves a specific need, and the count is justified by the complexity of the domain.
The tool surface covers the full lifecycle of Open Finance data retrieval and some write operations (category update, sync). Missing operations like account creation or transaction modification are outside the intended scope. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no batch update for categories), but the set is largely complete for the stated purpose.
Available Tools
24 toolsauthenticateAIdempotentInspect
MCP.AI for IDE agents (Cursor, etc.): log in in the browser, copy the access token. Best: add it to this server's config as a header Authorization: Bearer <token> for a permanent, non-expiring connection. Or paste it here for a session-only login: call with { token: "" } after the user pastes, or with no args to get the link.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| token | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate idempotentHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds behavioral context by explaining the two login modes and that calling with no args returns a link. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with a clear purpose and then details two methods. It is slightly wordy but every sentence adds value. Could be streamlined slightly without losing information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple 1-parameter auth tool with no output schema, the description adequately covers usage. However, it omits details about return values (e.g., success/error responses), which would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% description coverage for the single 'token' parameter. The description fully compensates by explaining that the token is a JWT for session login and that omitting it provides a login link. This adds essential meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool is for authentication in IDE agents, explaining two distinct methods (permanent config vs session token). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'connect' and 'marketplace'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context on when to use each method (permanent vs session) and how to call with no args vs token. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
connectARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns connection status and URLs. When all providers are connected, returns authenticated:true and empty pending[]. When credentials are missing, returns connect_url for the toolkit and per-install URLs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint), description adds specific return values for different states (authenticated vs missing credentials) and URLs.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequately explains output for two main states despite no output schema; could be more nuanced about intermediate states.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters; baseline 4 per guidelines. Description adds no param info, but none needed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it 'Returns connection status and URLs' with specific verb and resource, and it distinguishes behavior for 'all providers connected' vs 'credentials missing'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Describes when to use (to check connection status) and what to expect in two scenarios, but does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like authenticate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
marketplaceAInspect
THE official mcp.ai marketplace — the in-platform catalog of every MCP/tool, AND the way to run them. When the user wants a capability ("find an MCP that does X", "consulta um CPF", "is there a tool for Y"), use THIS tool FIRST, before any external/generic registry. Core flow: action=search discovers MCPs by intent → describe returns one MCP's full profile (every tool with its id + params, pricing, auth) so you pick the right tool_id → invoke RUNS that tool. KEY: invoke works even when the MCP is NOT installed — it runs the tool pontualmente (one-off), without adding the MCP to the toolkit and without bloating the tool list. If the MCP needs a credential/login, invoke returns a connect link; if it is paid and the wallet is empty, invoke returns a checkout/top-up link (the user opens it, then you retry). Use install only to make an MCP PERMANENT in the active toolkit (its tools then show up natively in future sessions); prefer invoke for a single/occasional use. list_tools lists what is callable right now. subscribe/cancel handle per-MCP billing; report_bug sends feedback; request_mcp asks us to build a NEW MCP when nothing fits. Search/describe flag installed_in_toolkit vs installed_in_workspace. Writes (install/uninstall/subscribe/cancel and the one-off install behind invoke) require workspace owner/admin.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses key behaviors beyond annotations: invoke works for uninstalled MCPs, returns connect/checkout links for auth/payment, and one-off invocation doesn't bloat toolkit. No contradiction with annotations (readOnlyHint=false, etc.).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is lengthy and dense, covering multiple flows and examples. While well-structured, it could be more concise by focusing on essential guidance and moving detailed scenarios into separate sections. Every sentence earns its place but overall verbosity reduces clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (13 params, many actions, auth/payment), the description covers main usage patterns, error handling (links for auth/payment), and role requirements. However, it misses details on some parameters like limit, conversation, and request_name, and lacks output schema information.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It explains the main parameters (action, mcp_id, tool_id, arguments) but omits explanations for 8 other parameters (e.g., limit, conversation, request_name). While the core flow is covered, many parameters lack semantic meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool is the official marketplace catalog and runner for MCPs, with specific verbs like 'search', 'describe', 'invoke', and 'install'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being the first point of discovery and execution.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit guidance: 'use THIS tool FIRST', core flow search → describe → invoke, when to prefer invoke over install, and mentions alternate actions like list_tools, subscribe, etc. Also clarifies permission requirements for writes.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_disconnect_bankADestructiveInspect
Revokes the Open Finance consent for a specific bank and deletes the connection data. The bank's data will no longer be available. Returns an add_connection_url to re-connect if needed.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| item | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructive nature; description adds that consent is revoked, data is deleted and permanently unavailable, and a re-connection URL is returned. No contradictions with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three concise sentences with no unnecessary words. The action, consequence, and return value are front-loaded and clear.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the description covers purpose and outcome with no output schema, it omits explanation of the input parameter 'item', which is critical for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single required parameter 'item' is not described in the description. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to explain what 'item' represents (e.g., bank identifier), leaving the agent guessing.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('revokes consent', 'deletes connection data') and the resource ('specific bank'). It distinguishes from sibling tools by focusing on disconnection, while siblings handle listing or syncing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context for disconnecting a bank, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives like openfinance_force_sync or openfinance_list_connections.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_force_syncAInspect
Forces the bank to re-sync one or more connections NOW and WAITS for it to finish (PATCH /items/:id, then polls until the item stops updating, up to ~60s). Use this when a balance or transaction list looks stale: a connection can read UPDATED yet be hours old, and this pulls fresh data WITHOUT disconnecting/reconnecting. Pass items as an array of selectors (item_id, connector_id, or connector_name); OMIT items to sync ALL linked banks. Returns { results, errors }; each result has the final status, executionStatus, lastUpdatedAt (advances when data is refreshed), and synced (true = fresh data is ready). needs_action (e.g. LOGIN_ERROR / WAITING_USER_INPUT) means the user must reconnect; timed_out: true means the sync is still running — re-check with openfinance_get_item_status. Set wait: false for fire-and-forget (returns immediately while UPDATING).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| wait | No | ||
| items | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations provide readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false; description adds polling, timeout (~60s), return states (needs_action, timed_out), and side effects (refresh without reconnect). No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Front-loaded with purpose and key details, but includes some repetition (e.g., explaining wait twice). Still efficient and well-organized.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Complex tool with no output schema, yet description explains return object (results, errors), final status fields, and error states, giving complete guidance for AI agent to handle responses.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, but description fully explains 'items' (array of selectors, omission syncs all) and 'wait' (boolean for blocking vs. fire-and-forget), adding critical meaning beyond schema types.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clear verb (forces), resource (connections), specific behavior (re-sync, waits, polls up to 60s). Distinguishes from siblings like openfinance_get_item_status by describing fire-and-forget vs. wait modes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly tells when to use (stale balance/transactions), provides an alternative for checking status after timeout (openfinance_get_item_status), and describes fire-and-forget option (wait: false).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_get_account_balanceARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns real-time balance payload per account id (GET /accounts/:id/balance). Pass account_ids as an array (1–50). CREDIT accounts may return Pluggy BALANCE_FETCH_ERROR — those rows include a structured warning instead of throwing. Response shape: { results: [...], errors: [{ id, status, message }] }.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| account_ids | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses real-time balance retrieval, structured error handling for CREDIT accounts (BALANCE_FETCH_ERROR with warning), and response shape. Aligns with annotations (readOnly, idempotent) adding detail beyond them.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two-sentence description with no redundant content. Front-loaded with purpose, efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Provides response shape, error handling, and parameter constraints. No output schema needed; description covers all essential behavior for successful invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Given 0% schema coverage, description fully compensates by specifying account_ids as array of strings with 1-50 range, adding meaning absent from schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it returns real-time balance per account id with HTTP method and path. Differentiates from sibling tools like openfinance_get_accounts_detail by focusing on balance retrieval.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides clear usage guidance: pass account_ids as array (1-50). Mentions error behavior for CREDIT accounts. Does not explicitly compare with alternatives but gives enough context for correct invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_get_accounts_detailARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns full account objects including extended creditData (additional cards, limits) per id (GET /accounts/:id). Pass account_ids as an array (1–50). { results, errors } batch shape.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| account_ids | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare safety (readOnly, idempotent). Description adds batch response shape '{ results, errors }', improving transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three concise sentences: purpose, usage, response shape. Front-loaded and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, description adequately covers return shape and batch aspect. Could mention ID format, but minimal gaps remain.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Only parameter is account_ids. Schema description coverage is 0%, but description adds array size constraint (1-50), adding value over schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it returns full account objects with extended creditData per ID, distinguishing from sibling openfinance_list_accounts which likely returns summaries.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies use when detail is needed, provides array size constraint (1-50), but no explicit when-not or alternative selection guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_get_credit_card_billARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns bill-level detail for one or more credit card bills by id (GET /bills/:id): financeCharges and payments[] (id, paymentDate, amount, valueType, paymentMode). Does NOT return individual transactions — to get itemized credit card transactions (purchases, subscriptions, etc.), use openfinance_list_transactions with the credit card account_id and a from/to date range matching the bill's billing cycle (approximately dueDate − 30d to dueDate); each transaction's creditCardMetadata.billId links it to the specific bill. Pass bill_ids as an array — use openfinance_list_credit_card_bills first to discover ids. { results, errors } batch shape. NOTE: Pluggy does NOT return a paid/status field. In Brazilian Open Finance, payments[] reflects payments registered during THIS bill's billing cycle — typically the payment of the PREVIOUS bill (do NOT assume this bill was paid just because payments[] is non-empty). To check paid status, prefer openfinance_list_credit_card_bills which derives payment_status via cross-bill match.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| bill_ids | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds behavioral context: returns { results, errors } batch shape, notes that Pluggy does not return a paid/status field, and explains the meaning of payments[]. This goes beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Long but each sentence adds value. Well-structured with key info front-loaded and warnings clearly noted. Could be slightly tighter but appropriate for complexity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema exists, but description explains response shape (results, errors) and details on payments. References sibling tools for transactions. Covers all necessary context for effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, but description fully explains bill_ids is an array of string IDs, instructing users to obtain them from openfinance_list_credit_card_bills. Adds meaning beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns bill-level details for credit card bills by ID, specifying included fields (financeCharges, payments[]) and explicitly excluding individual transactions. It references sibling tools like openfinance_list_transactions for transactions, providing precise purpose differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit guidance: users should first use openfinance_list_credit_card_bills to discover IDs, and use openfinance_list_transactions for itemized transactions. It also warns about the misinterpretation of payments[] and suggests an alternative for checking paid status.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_get_item_statusARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns the current status of a bank connection (UPDATED, UPDATING, LOGIN_ERROR, etc.), its executionStatus, and connector metadata. Omit item to get the status of ALL linked banks at once (returns { count, items }); pass item for a single bank.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| item | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds behavioral context by specifying the returned fields (status, executionStatus, connector metadata) and the dual-mode behavior. It does not contradict annotations and provides useful details beyond what structured fields offer.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the primary purpose and followed by a clear conditional explanation. No fluff—every sentence adds value and is easy to scan.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description provides a partial output structure for the bulk mode (`{ count, items }`). For single mode, it lists the fields returned. This is adequate for an agent to understand the return format, though a bit more detail on the single response would be beneficial.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% coverage for the only parameter `item`. The description compensates by explaining that omitting `item` returns all banks' statuses and passing it returns a single bank's status. This adds complete meaning to the parameter beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns the current status of a bank connection, listing specific statuses like UPDATED, UPDATING, LOGIN_ERROR. It distinguishes between two use cases: getting status for all linked banks (without `item`) and for a single bank (with `item`). This makes the purpose and behavior unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly explains when to omit `item` (get all) versus when to pass it (single bank). However, it does not directly compare with sibling tools like `openfinance_list_connections` which might also list connections. Despite this, the status-specific language and mention of response format provide clear usage guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_list_accountsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns accounts for a bank connection: BANK (checking/savings) and CREDIT (credit card) with balance, number, type, subtype, bankData, and creditData. Also returns bank (the brand/connector name like 'Nubank Empresas' — same shown in the dashboard UI) and connector_id. Note: each account's name is the legal entity that issues the account (e.g. 'Nu Pagamentos S.A. - Instituição de Pagamento'), which is not the same as the brand — when referring to the bank in user-facing text, use bank. OMIT item to list accounts across ALL linked banks at once — the response aggregates every connection's accounts into results, each row tagged with its own bank/connector_id/item_id (use this when the user asks for 'my accounts/cards' without naming a bank). Pass item to target a single bank (response carries bank/connector_id/item_id at the root). CREDIT (credit card) balance: its meaning is CONNECTOR-DEPENDENT — some banks report the current open-bill partial, others the full revolving/installment debt — so do NOT treat balance as 'this month's bill'. The open billing cycle is defined by creditData.balanceCloseDate (when it closes) / balanceDueDate (when it's due). For a standardized open-bill amount and total debt that mean the same across connectors, use openfinance_list_credit_card_bills (open_bill + total_pending_debt, derived from PENDING transactions); closed bills come from that same tool's results.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| item | No | ||
| type | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, but the description adds critical behavioral details: the connector-dependent meaning of CREDIT balance, the distinction between account name (legal entity) and bank brand, and the response structure differences when item is omitted vs provided. No contradictions with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is long but efficiently structured: starts with main purpose, then explains key fields, followed by usage scenarios and critical caveats. Every sentence adds value, though slight trimming could improve conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description thoroughly details return fields (balance, number, type, subtype, etc.), explains special cases (credit balance meaning), and provides usage context for both omitting and passing item. It is complete for effective tool selection and use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It fully covers both: 'item' (optional, changes aggregation behavior) and 'type' (enum filtering). It explains how each parameter affects the response, adding necessary semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that the tool returns accounts for bank connections with specific fields like type, balance, and credit data. It distinguishes between BANK and CREDIT types and explicitly directs to the sibling tool openfinance_list_credit_card_bills for standardized bill amounts, ensuring differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives clear when-to-use guidelines: omit 'item' to list all accounts across banks, pass 'item' for a single bank. It also warns against misinterpreting CREDIT balance and provides the exact alternative tool for correct billing data.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_list_categoriesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns Pluggy's transaction category taxonomy (GET /categories), cached for the adapter session. Each entry has id (the categoryId used by openfinance_update_transaction_category), description (English), descriptionTranslated (Portuguese — prefer this for pt-BR users), parentId and parentDescription (the tree parent). Single aggregated response — no batch ids.

No parameters | |||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by disclosing caching behavior, single aggregated response, and no batch ids, which goes beyond what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is concise with only 3 sentences, each providing essential information. No fluff, and the key point about caching and usage with update is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no parameters and no output schema, the description fully covers the tool's behavior and output. It includes caching, response singular nature, and field mappings, making it complete for an agent to invoke.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 0 parameters, baseline is 4. The description compensates by thoroughly explaining the response structure (fields: id, description, descriptionTranslated, parentId, parentDescription), adding meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool returns Pluggy's transaction category taxonomy, cached for the session. It specifies the verb 'returns' and resource 'category taxonomy', and distinguishes itself from sibling list tools by focusing on categories and mentioning its use with openfinance_update_transaction_category.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description hints at usage by mentioning the `id` field is the categoryId used by openfinance_update_transaction_category. It states it's cached and returns a single aggregated response, providing context for when to use it. However, it lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, so a slight deduction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_list_connectionsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns the saved bank connections for this install: connector_id, item_id, bank name, and an add_connection_url to link additional banks via the Open Finance widget.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds behavioral context beyond the annotations: it specifies that an add_connection_url is provided for linking more banks via widget. Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, so the description's added context is helpful but minimal. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence that is front-loaded with the tool's purpose. Every word adds value, and there is no redundant or unnecessary information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description is largely complete. It lists what is returned and hints at a related action (linking more banks). However, it does not mention whether results are paginated or if any additional context like error handling exists, but for a basic list tool this is sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are zero parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. According to the guidelines, baseline is 4 for 0 parameters. The description adds no extra parameter information since none exist, which is acceptable.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that the tool returns saved bank connections, listing specific fields (connector_id, item_id, bank name, add_connection_url). It also indicates a purpose: to get a URL for linking additional banks. This distinguishes it from sibling list tools that list accounts or transactions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it does not clarify that this should be used to see existing connections before linking new ones, nor does it mention any prerequisites or dependencies. It implicitly suggests use for getting the add_connection_url, but lacks explicit when/why-not instructions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_list_credit_card_billsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns CLOSED credit card bills for a CREDIT-type account: dueDate, totalAmount, minimumPaymentAmount, allowsInstallments, plus payments[] (id, paymentDate, amount, valueType, paymentMode), payments_count, payments_total, finance charges aggregates, and a derived payment_status per bill. IMPORTANT — Brazilian Open Finance semantics: Pluggy does NOT return a paid/status field. The payment goes into the payments[] of the bill whose CYCLE contains the paymentDate (closing ≈ dueDate − 7d): pre-payment before close stays on the bill being paid; payment between close and due, or after due, lands on the NEXT bill. So payments[] on a bill commonly carries the previous bill's payment, NOT the current one's — do NOT assume this bill was paid just because payments[] is non-empty. Use the derived payment_status (PAID | OPEN | PAST_DUE_UNCONFIRMED | PAST_DUE_UNPAID): a bill is PAID when its OWN payments[] (early pre-payment) or ANY newer bill in the payload contains a payment with amount ≈ this bill's totalAmount (±R$0.50). The MOST RECENT bill that's past-due, with no own pre-payment match, cannot be confirmed via cross-bill (the next cycle hasn't closed yet) — it returns PAST_DUE_UNCONFIRMED. NEVER call such a bill 'vencida' categorically; flag that the payment may have been made between close and due and not yet reflected upstream. The full payment_status_legend is returned alongside the results. OPEN BILL & TOTAL DEBT (standardized, derived — OPT-IN): pass include_open_bill:true to ALSO get open_bill (the current not-yet-closed bill, próxima a vencer) and total_pending_debt (saldo devedor total = all pending installments), BOTH derived from PENDING transactions so they mean the same thing across connectors — use these instead of the CREDIT account's balance, whose meaning VARIES by connector (some report the open-bill partial, others the full installment debt). open_bill = { available, method (cycle_dates|calendar_month_fallback), close_date, due_date, total_amount (net charges − credits), transaction_count }; plus a future_bills[] breakdown per month for installments dated beyond the close. CONNECTOR ASYMMETRY: where the bank does NOT expose the open bill before closing (it publishes only closed bills, no PENDING), open_bill.available is false with a reason and total_pending_debt is null — that bill simply isn't retrievable by any endpoint until it closes (upstream limit of the institution's Open Finance feed, not our filter). Default false (the projection runs an extra accounts+transactions scan, so it's opt-in). This tool's results are bill-level summaries — NOT individual transactions. To see itemized purchases/charges per bill, use openfinance_list_transactions with the CREDIT account_id (each transaction's creditCardMetadata.billId links to the bill). Returns a warning instead of failing if the CREDIT_CARDS product is not enabled.
Bulk support: accepts account_ids for batched execution.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent. The description adds extensive behavioral details: Pluggy API limitations, payment routing logic, derived payment status, connector asymmetry, extra scan for open bill, and failure behavior. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is verbose but well-structured with paragraphs and highlighting. Every major point earns its place, but overall length may be overwhelming. Still, front-loaded with essential return info.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given high complexity, no output schema, and 0% schema coverage, the description covers all aspects: return fields, payment logic, derived status, open bill details, connector limitations, bulk support, warnings, and links to other tools. Highly comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema coverage, the description must explain parameters. It thoroughly explains account_id and include_open_bill, and mentions bulk support for account_ids, but does not describe page and page_size, which are missing. Thus partially compensates but leaves gaps.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns CLOSED credit card bills with a comprehensive set of fields, and distinguishes itself from the transaction-listing sibling. The main purpose is explicit and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance, including when to use the alternative tool for itemized transactions, detailed payment status interpretation, and conditional use of include_open_bill. No missing guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_list_investmentsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns the investment portfolio for a connection (broker or bank with INVESTMENTS product enabled): FIIs, stocks, ETFs, fixed income (CDB/LCI/LCA/Tesouro), mutual funds, retirement (previdência) and COE. Each row carries balance, amount, amountOriginal, amountProfit, lastMonthRate / annualRate / lastTwelveMonthsRate (when available), dueDate, issuer, ISIN, etc. Returns { total:0, results:[], warning } instead of throwing when INVESTMENTS isn't enabled (403) or other upstream errors.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| item | No | ||
| page | No | ||
| type | No | ||
| page_size | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds valuable context about error handling (returning a warning object instead of throwing on 403 errors) and the structure of results, which goes beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is reasonably concise, with two sentences: the first covers purpose and return fields, the second covers error behavior. It is front-loaded with the most important information, though some minor redundancy could be trimmed.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description explains the return object structure (total, results, warning) and common fields. It also covers error cases. However, the lack of parameter documentation reduces completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning no parameter descriptions in the schema. The description does not explain what 'item', 'page', 'type', or 'page_size' mean or how to use them. This is a significant gap for a tool with 4 parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that the tool returns the investment portfolio for a connection, listing specific asset types (FIIs, stocks, ETFs, etc.) and fields. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like openfinance_list_investment_transactions by focusing on the portfolio overview.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when INVESTMENTS product is enabled but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like openfinance_list_accounts or openfinance_list_transactions. No 'when not to use' guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_list_investment_transactionsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns the movement history for a specific investment position: BUY / SELL / TAX / INTEREST / AMORTIZATION / TRANSFER. Each row carries quantity, value, amount, netAmount, agreedRate (treasury), brokerageNumber, and itemized expenses (brokerageFee, incomeTax, settlementFee, custodyFee, stockExchangeFee, etc.). Use after openfinance_list_investments to get the investment_id.
Bulk support: accepts investment_ids for batched execution.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description reveals the return fields (quantity, value, amount, netAmount, agreedRate, brokerageNumber, expenses) and transaction types, adding detail beyond the readOnly and idempotent annotations. It does not mention pagination behavior or rate limits, but given annotations declare safety, the added detail is valuable.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise at three sentences, with the purpose front-loaded. Each sentence adds distinct information: what it does, the data fields, and usage guidance. No redundant or vague language is present.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a listings tool with 4 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the main purpose, prerequisite tool, key data fields, and bulk capability. It lacks pagination details and any note on result ordering or limits, but overall provides sufficient context for an agent to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description only partially compensates by mentioning investment_id (as required for use) and investment_ids for bulk support. It ignores page and page_size parameters, leaving them unexplained. The description does not add format or constraint details for the parameters it does mention.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns movement history for investment positions, listing specific transaction types. It differentiates from sibling tools like openfinance_list_investments by specifying investment transactions, but does not explicitly distinguish from openfinance_list_transactions, which might also handle some investment data.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description advises to use after openfinance_list_investments to get the investment_id, providing a clear prerequisite. It also mentions bulk support with investment_ids. However, it does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus other transaction listing tools like openfinance_list_transactions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_list_loansARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Lists loan contracts per bank connection (GET /loans). Pass items as an array of connection selectors (item_id uuid, connector_id, or connector_name) — one entry per connection to fetch; multiple connections are queried sequentially with rate-limit spacing. OMIT items to list loans across ALL linked banks. Returns { results, errors } per connection.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| items | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds that multiple connections are queried sequentially with rate-limit spacing and that results are returned per connection with errors, providing behavioral context beyond annotations. No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences, front-loaded with the main action. Every sentence adds essential information: purpose, parameter usage, and behavior. No fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity (1 parameter, no output schema), the description is mostly complete. It explains the parameter and behavior. However, it lacks details about the output format (though no output schema exists), but the per-connection results/errors mention is helpful. With annotations covering safety, it's adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% (no description on items parameter), but the description compensates by explaining that items is an array of connection selectors (item_id uuid, connector_id, or connector_name) and that omitting it lists across all banks. This adds significant meaning beyond the raw schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists loan contracts per bank connection, specifying the endpoint '/loans'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by detailing how to use connection selectors (items array) and the behavior when omitted (all banks).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit instructions on when to use the tool: list loans per connection or across all banks. It explains how to pass connection selectors and that omitting items lists all. It does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternatives, but the guidance is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_list_transactionsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns transactions for a bank account (BANK or CREDIT type). For CREDIT (credit card) accounts, this is the ONLY way to get itemized transactions (purchases, subscriptions, etc.) — each credit card transaction carries creditCardMetadata.billId linking it to a specific bill from openfinance_list_credit_card_bills. CREDIT PENDING vs POSTED varies by connector: where the bank exposes future-dated status:'PENDING' installments, those represent the OPEN bill plus future bills (future months); where it does NOT, only the last closed bill's POSTED items appear until ~closing. Same query, different coverage per bank (upstream). To get a standardized open-bill total / total debt regardless, use openfinance_list_credit_card_bills (open_bill / total_pending_debt). Supports from/to date filters (ISO YYYY-MM-DD), pagination (max 500/page), and optional keyword filter via search_queries (case- and accent-insensitive substring match against description and merchant name, OR semantics across multiple terms). When search_queries is set the tool aggregates up to 5000 transactions within from/to before filtering — narrow from/to if truncated:true is returned. On upstream errors, returns { total:0, results:[], warning, error } instead of throwing. If total is 0 for a CREDIT account, check the connection health via openfinance_get_item_status — statusDetail.creditCards.isUpdated: false means the credit card sync failed and a force sync (openfinance_force_sync) or reconnection may be needed.
Bulk support: accepts account_ids for batched execution.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. Description adds critical behavioral details: CREDIT PENDING/POSTED variation by connector, aggregation behavior with search_queries, error handling returning structured objects, and zero-total diagnostic steps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Packed with useful information but not overly verbose. Maintains focus on key points throughout, though some redundancy could be trimmed (e.g., repeated 'same query' explanation).
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers a wide range of scenarios (error handling, aggregation, credit-specific behavior, sibling tool references). Without an output schema, it provides essential return structure hints but could more fully describe the transaction object fields.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% coverage. Description adds meaning for most parameters: from/to (ISO dates), pagination (max 500), search_queries (case-insensitive substring, OR semantics, aggregation up to 5000), and account_ids for bulk. Lacks explicit parameter names but covers semantics well.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it returns transactions for bank accounts with distinction between BANK and CREDIT types. References sibling tools to clarify scope and unique value for credit card transaction retrieval.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly explains when to use this tool versus alternatives like openfinance_list_credit_card_bills for standardized totals. Provides guidance on handling zero results via openfinance_get_item_status and mentions bulk support with account_ids.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_list_transactions_by_itemARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Consolidated cash-flow analysis for a whole bank CONNECTION over a period, in ONE call. Resolves the connection's accounts internally and fans out their transactions, so you do NOT need to call openfinance_list_accounts first nor carry account_id uuids between calls. Pass item (connector_id, connector_name or item_id) to target one bank, or OMIT it to analyze ALL linked banks at once. from/to are ISO dates (YYYY-MM-DD). Default granularity:'monthly' returns a COMPACT summary (no raw rows): total entradas, saídas, saldo_liquido, monthly evolution (por_mes), and top_despesas/top_recebimentos (largest N each), plus a per-account breakdown (by_account). Use this for 'análise anual/mensal', 'fluxo de caixa', 'entradas e saídas', 'maiores gastos/recebimentos'. Set granularity:'raw' to ALSO get every consolidated transaction (heavier — only when itemized rows are needed). type filters BANK or CREDIT accounts. On a connection with many transactions the scan caps at 5000/account and flags truncated:true.

Front-loaded with main purpose, comprehensive but slightly lengthy; all sentences add value, though could be better structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a complex tool with no output schema, description thoroughly explains return fields, default behavior, and truncation flag, making it complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Describes most parameters (item, from/to, granularity, type) but omits explanation of top_n parameter, relying on schema alone which has 0% coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool performs consolidated cash-flow analysis for a bank connection, resolving accounts internally, distinguishing it from siblings that require separate account listing calls.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly mentions use cases ('análise anual/mensal', 'fluxo de caixa', etc.) and explains when to use raw granularity, but does not explicitly contrast with sibling openfinance_list_transactions for raw transaction needs.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_provider_statusARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Checks the LIVE operational status of the Open Finance provider (its public status page) — this is the PROVIDER's health, separate from your own connection's openfinance_get_item_status. Use it whenever data looks incomplete or stale even though a connection shows UPDATED (accounts/transactions/balances missing, a bank not returning everything): it reveals an upstream outage or a known incident on a specific bank/connector, so you can tell a provider-side problem apart from a connection that just needs reconnecting. Returns the global indicator (none/minor/major/critical), degraded components, open incidents, and — when you have banks connected — flags the incidents that affect YOUR connected banks in your_banks_affected.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds significant transparency beyond these, detailing the output structure: global indicator, degraded components, open incidents, and a filtered list for the user's connected banks. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured, front-loading the core purpose, then providing usage guidance, and finally listing output details. Every sentence adds value, and there is no redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter tool with no output schema, the description thoroughly explains what the tool returns and when to use it. It covers all necessary behavioral and contextual aspects, making it fully actionable.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description provides full context about the tool's operation without needing to describe parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool checks the LIVE operational status of the Open Finance provider, distinguishing it from openfinance_get_item_status. The verb 'checks' and resource 'provider status' are specific, and the sibling differentiation is explicit.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit when-to-use guidance: when data looks incomplete or stale despite an UPDATED connection, listing specific symptoms. It also explains the benefit—distinguishing provider-side problems from connection issues—and implicitly differentiates from the sibling openfinance_get_item_status.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_search_bank_connectorsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Searches the available bank connectors by name (pass keywords[], e.g. ['nubank','btg']) and returns, per match: the connector id, whether it's Open Finance or API (access), PF/PJ (audience), the user's already-linked connections (and accounts when include_accounts=true), and a ready connect_url with the bank pre-selected. Honors the user's plan (a PF plan hides PJ banks). Call this BEFORE connecting to hand the user a one-click link to the right bank. keywords[] is REQUIRED — without it returns a hint (never dumps the whole catalog).

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description uses specific verb 'Searches' with resource 'bank connectors' and details return fields (connector id, access, audience, etc.). Clearly distinguishes from siblings like openfinance_list_connections by focusing on search by name.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states 'Call this BEFORE connecting' and that keywords[] is REQUIRED. Implicitly suggests not to use when user hasn't provided keywords. Could improve by noting when alternative tools like openfinance_list_connections are preferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
openfinance_update_transaction_categoryAInspect
Corrects the category of one or more transactions (PATCH /transactions/:id). Pass items as an array of { transaction_id, category_id } — transaction_id comes from openfinance_list_transactions, category_id from openfinance_list_categories. This overrides Pluggy's automatic categorization AND teaches Pluggy: recategorizing a transaction automatically creates a Category Rule for this client (case-insensitive exact match on the transaction's data), so FUTURE similar transactions are categorized the same way — use this to fix miscategorized transactions and improve categorization accuracy going forward. Batch shape: returns { updated, results: [{ transaction_id, category, categoryId }], errors: [{ id, status, message }] } — per-item errors do not fail the whole batch.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses critical side effect beyond annotations: creates a Category Rule that affects future transactions. Also describes batch return shape with per-item error handling. Annotations provide no destructive or idempotent hints, so description adds essential transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is front-loaded with action, uses minimal but comprehensive language. Every sentence adds value—no fluff. Structured with endpoint, params, behavior, and return shape.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite no output schema, description specifies exact return structure ({ updated, results, errors }). Covers batch semantics, error handling, and side effects. Complete for a moderately complex tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% but description fully compensates: explains that transaction_id and category_id come from specific sibling tools, and describes the array structure and expected shape. Adds meaning beyond raw schema types.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'Corrects the category of one or more transactions' with specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools (which are mostly read/list operations) by describing batch update behavior and side effects.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states this tool is used to fix miscategorized transactions and improve future categorization. Provides guidance on obtaining input IDs from related tools (list_transactions, list_categories). Does not explicitly state when not to use, but context is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate idempotent (idempotentHint=true) and non-destructive (destructiveHint=false). The description adds that the conversation array should be included for reproduction, which is useful behavioral context, but does not fully describe side effects or constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise (two sentences) with no fluff. It front-loads the core purpose. The only minor issue is that the second sentence could be integrated, but overall efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (3 params, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It focuses on only one parameter (conversation) and does not mention return value or confirmation of submission. The required 'message' parameter is not elaborated.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains the 'conversation' parameter (array of recent messages) but does not describe 'context' or 'message' beyond their presence in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: reporting bugs, missing features, or sending feedback. It uses a specific verb ('Report') and resource ('bug'), and is distinctly different from sibling tools, which are unrelated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention exclusions or prerequisites beyond including the conversation array.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. Description adds resource detail but no behavioral traits beyond that.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single, front-loaded sentence with no extraneous words. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no parameters and comprehensive annotations, the description fully covers what the tool does. Output schema is unnecessary for a version display.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters; description adds no param info, but baseline is 4 for zero-param tools.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states verb 'show' and resource 'current MCP platform and adapter versions', distinguishing it from siblings like toolkit_info.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implicit context for version retrieval, but no explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives. Still clear for a simple tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
toolkit_infoARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Returns the current toolkit state: installed MCPs, their connection status, and how many catalog tools each exposes.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds value by specifying exactly what state information is returned (installed MCPs, connection status, tool counts), without contradicting annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single front-loaded sentence that conveys all necessary information without any waste. Every word is meaningful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no parameters, no output schema, and annotations covering safety, the description sufficiently explains what the tool returns. It is complete for a simple informational tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are no parameters (0 params, 100% schema coverage), so the description does not need to add parameter details. Baseline score of 4 is appropriate as the description compensates for the empty schema by stating what the tool returns.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('returns') and resource ('current toolkit state') with details on what is included (installed MCPs, connection status, catalog tool counts). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like 'authenticate' or 'marketplace'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for retrieving toolkit state but lacks explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives. No when-not or exclusion criteria are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
