openfinance_provider_status

Read-onlyIdempotent

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.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. Description adds that it checks a public status page (live), and returns specific incident data affecting 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

Description is detailed but front-loaded with core purpose. All sentences are useful; could be slightly shorter but remains clear.

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 zero parameters and no output schema, description fully explains return structure and use case. Annotations cover safety. Complete for a read-only status check.

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?

Input schema has 0 parameters (100% coverage). With no params, baseline is 4. Description correctly omits parameter details.

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?

Description states it checks LIVE operational status of the Open Finance provider, distinguishing it from openfinance_get_item_status. It clearly lists return fields (global indicator, degraded components, incidents, your_banks_affected).

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 tells when to use: when data looks incomplete/stale despite UPDATED connection, or to differentiate provider-side issue from connection problem. Mentions sibling tool for contrast.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

The openfinance_* tools are mostly distinct, but several have overlapping boundaries: openfinance_list_transactions vs openfinance_list_transactions_by_item, openfinance_get_item_status vs openfinance_provider_status, and openfinance_list_accounts carrying balance vs openfinance_get_account_balance. The platform-level tools also blur somewhat: marketplace, toolkit_info, and connect all touch installed or available services.

Naming Consistency3/5

The openfinance_* group follows a consistent list/get/update verb pattern in snake_case, but platform-level tools like authenticate, connect, marketplace, report_bug, show_version, and toolkit_info break that convention. The set is readable, but it is split between two clearly different naming styles.

Tool Count3/5

At 25 tools, the server is at the heavy end, and several are platform/MCP-management helpers rather than core banking capabilities. The count is not absurd for a broad Open Finance + marketplace adapter, but it feels more cluttered than a focused financial data toolset should be.

Completeness4/5

The Open Finance surface is thorough: accounts, transactions, balances, credit card bills, loans, investments, connection lifecycle, sync, provider status, and category correction are all covered. The main gaps are the absence of a direct connect/create action (only URLs are returned) and no write operations beyond category updates, but for a read-centric financial data adapter this is close to complete.
