openfinance_force_sync

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, connector_name, or the user-set custom_label nickname); 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. MFA_REINTERACTION / LOGIN_ERROR / WAITING_USER_INPUT) means the user must re-authenticate — those results include a reconnect_url that opens the widget in UPDATE mode for that exact connection (user enters credentials / MFA token, data refreshes in place, no slot consumed, no disconnect needed). 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).

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses polling behavior (up to ~60s), return structure (results/errors, status, executionStatus, lastUpdatedAt, synced, needs_action), and handling of MFA with reconnect_url. Also explains wait flag behavior. Adds value beyond annotations with 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is packed with valuable information but is slightly lengthy. Every sentence adds value; however, it could be more structured (e.g., separate paragraphs for usage and return details) to improve readability. Still efficient overall.

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?

Extremely comprehensive given the tool's complexity and lack of output schema. Covers all states (success, needs_action, timed_out), return fields, and next steps. No gaps identified.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

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

Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description fully explains both parameters: wait (boolean, default implied true) and items (array of selectors with examples and special value 'omit'). Compensates completely for missing schema descriptions.

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 clearly states it forces a bank to re-sync connections and waits for completion. It uses specific verbs ('forces', 're-sync') and distinguishes from siblings like openfinance_get_item_status and openfinance_list_connections.

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?

Explicitly says when to use: 'when a balance or transaction list looks stale'. Provides alternatives: fire-and-forget with wait: false, and re-check with openfinance_get_item_status if timed out. Distinguishes from disconnecting/reconnecting.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

The openfinance_* tools are mostly distinct resource/action pairs, but several boundaries blur: openfinance_list_transactions vs openfinance_list_transactions_by_item vs openfinance_get_credit_card_bill(include_transactions) all return transaction data, and openfinance_get_item_status / openfinance_provider_status / openfinance_list_connections all concern connection health. The monolithic marketplace tool also bundles search/describe/invoke/install/prompt-library operations, adding further ambiguity.

Naming Consistency4/5

The 19 openfinance_* tools follow a clean snake_case verb_noun pattern (list_accounts, get_item_status, update_transaction_category), but the six platform tools break it with bare verbs (authenticate, connect) and noun-style names (marketplace, toolkit_info). The split is namespace-based and still readable, so it is only a minor inconsistency.

Tool Count3/5

25 tools is on the heavy side, but the server spans two domains: an Open Finance banking surface (accounts, bills, loans, investments, connections) and a marketplace/platform layer (auth, search, prompts, bug reporting). Many openfinance tools are necessary for that breadth, though the count is high enough to feel bloated.

Completeness4/5

The Open Finance surface is nearly complete: connections can be searched, listed, disconnected, force-synced, and health-checked; accounts, transactions, bills, loans, and investments all have read/detail paths; transaction categories can be updated. Minor gaps exist, such as no granular marketplace tools outside the monolithic marketplace tool and no single-transaction detail endpoint, but core workflows do not dead-end.
