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

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (readOnly, idempotent), the description adds rich behavioral details: live check, returns global indicator, degraded components, incidents, and flags affected banks. 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is well-structured and front-loaded, but slightly verbose. Every sentence adds value, though minor trimming could improve conciseness.

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?

Despite no output schema, the description thoroughly explains return values (global indicator, components, incidents, affected banks) and usage context, making it complete for a zero-parameter live health check tool.

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?

No parameters are defined, so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds context about what the tool queries and returns, satisfying the baseline of 4 for zero-parameter tools.

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 the tool checks the LIVE operational status of the Open Finance provider, distinguishing it from the related sibling openfinance_get_item_status by emphasizing provider health vs. connection health.

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 specifies when to use: when data appears incomplete or stale despite an updated connection, to differentiate upstream outages from connection issues. Provides actionable scenario.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools map clearly to a distinct openfinance resource or action (accounts, transactions, bills, investments, loans, connections, provider health), and the platform utilities are a separate family. The only realistically confusable pairs are openfinance_list_transactions vs openfinance_list_transactions_by_item and openfinance_list_accounts vs openfinance_get_accounts_detail, but the descriptions draw sharp boundaries between them.

Naming Consistency4/5

The 19 openfinance_* tools follow a strong openfinance_<verb>_<noun> convention, with only minor exceptions like openfinance_provider_status and openfinance_list_transactions_by_item. The six platform tools mix bare verbs (authenticate, connect), nouns (marketplace, toolkit_info), and verb_noun (report_bug, show_version), but they are clearly a separate utility layer.

Tool Count3/5

25 tools sits at the top of the 'feels heavy' band. The number is defensible for a full Open Finance data product plus platform management tools, but an agent is exposed to a lot of surface area, and the same server mixes a banking-data adapter with a marketplace/utility layer.

Completeness5/5

The openfinance surface covers the full lifecycle: search/connect/reconnect/disconnect banks, force-sync, item status, provider incidents, accounts, balances, transactions per account and per connection, credit-card bills with paid-status derivation, investments and investment transactions, loans, loan detail, and transaction categorization. Platform tools cover auth, connection status, toolkit state, version, bug reporting, and marketplace operations, so there are no obvious dead ends.
