Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.5/5 across 24 of 24 tools scored. Lowest: 3.5/5.
Each tool has a very specific and clearly documented purpose. The Open Finance tools are finely grained (e.g., listing vs getting details vs getting balance), and marketplace tools are distinct. No two tools overlap in function.
Tools use a mix of patterns: single verbs (authenticate, connect), nouns (marketplace), compound nouns (toolkit_info), and the openfinance_ prefix for banking tools. While the prefix is consistent within its domain, the overall naming lacks a uniform convention.
24 tools is on the higher side, but the scope is broad (authentication, marketplace, multiple banking operations). The marketplace tool itself encompasses many sub-actions, which could be split. The count feels slightly heavy but not overwhelming.
The tool set covers most aspects of the stated domains: authentication, connection management, a full MCP marketplace, and detailed Open Finance operations (accounts, transactions, credit cards, investments, loans). Minor gaps like limited transaction editing (only category update) prevent a perfect score.
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 include idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds context about returning a login link when called without arguments, but does not detail side effects or token expiration behavior.
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 paragraph that efficiently conveys the purpose and usage instructions. It is front-loaded with the tool's intent and avoids unnecessary words.
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 and lack of output schema, the description covers the main use cases. However, it does not specify the return format or what happens upon successful authentication, leaving some gaps for an AI agent.
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%, but the description compensates by explaining that 'token' is a JWT obtained from the browser, and that calling without arguments returns a link. This provides clear 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 it is for authentication, specifying it is designed for MCP.AI IDE agents and explains the login process in the browser. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools as the only authentication tool.
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 guidance on two use cases: permanent login via config and session-only login via token. It explains when to call with token and when without, but does not explicitly state when not to use it.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds valuable detail on return values (authenticated, pending, connect_url) without contradicting annotations. No behavioral gaps are left unaddressed.
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-load the key purpose and conditions. No 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?
Despite no output schema, the description covers the primary return scenarios. It could be more detailed about the 'pending[]' structure or URL formats, but it is adequate for a simple status check 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?
No parameters exist, so the description does not need to explain them. Baseline is 4 for zero-parameter 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?
The description clearly states the tool returns connection status and URLs, with specific outcomes for connected vs missing credentials. It distinguishes itself from siblings like authenticate and openfinance_list_connections by focusing on status rather than actions or listing.
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 checking connection status, providing clear context for when to expect different results. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives.
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?
The description adds extensive behavioral context beyond annotations: it explains that invoke works even if the MCP is not installed, returns connect/checkout links for auth/payment, and that writes require owner/admin. It does not contradict any annotation.
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 and front-loads purpose and core flow. All sentences provide value, but it is somewhat verbose and could be more concise by grouping related actions more tightly.
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, no output schema), the description covers most aspects: search/describe/invoke flow, installation semantics, billing, permissions. However, it omits detailed parameter explanations and return value descriptions, which would enhance 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?
With 0% schema description coverage and 13 parameters, the description fails to explain most parameters (e.g., limit, query, mcp_id, tool_id). Although it outlines actions, it does not map parameters to their usage, leaving the agent without critical detail for correct invocation.
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 for discovering and running MCPs/tools. It uses specific verbs ('search', 'describe', 'invoke') and distinguishes itself from siblings by instructing the agent to use this tool first before external registries.
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 guidance on when to use this tool ('when the user wants a capability... use THIS tool FIRST') and contrasts invoke vs. install, including when not to use alternatives (prefer invoke over install for one-off uses). It also mentions when workspace owner/admin privileges are required.
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 destructiveHint=true. Description adds value by explaining the return of add_connection_url for reconnection, enhancing transparency beyond structured data.
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 key action. Every word adds value with no redundancy.
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 single-parameter destructive tool with no output schema, description covers purpose and return value. But lacks specification for the parameter and potential error conditions.
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% and parameter 'item' is undocumented. Description does not clarify what 'item' represents (bank ID, connection ID, etc.), leaving ambiguity.
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 revokes consent and deletes connection data, with a reconnection URL. Distinguishes from sibling tools like openfinance_force_sync.
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 usage for disconnecting a bank, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use compared to siblings like connect or authenticate.
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?
Discloses wait/poll behavior, timeout, and return fields. Annotations indicate it's not read-only or idempotent, consistent with description. 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 dense and front-loaded with the main action, but could be slightly more concise; still every sentence adds value.
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 sync behavior, timeout, error/result fields, and re-check instructions. No output schema, but return format is explained. Complete for a force sync 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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully explains both parameters: 'items' as an array of selectors with omit-to-sync-all behavior, and 'wait' as fire-and-forget toggle.
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 forces a bank re-sync and waits for completion, distinguishing it from sibling tools like openfinance_get_item_status which only check status.
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 describes when to use (stale balance/transaction list), when not (needs_action cases), and provides guidance on fire-and-forget vs. wait mode. Mentions alternative tool for timeouts.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds valuable behavior: warning for CREDIT accounts instead of throwing, and the structured response with results and errors array. 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?
Three efficient sentences: purpose, usage, and error handling. No unnecessary words; all information is valuable and 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 a single parameter, no output schema, and annotations confirming safety, the description fully explains input constraints, error behavior, and response shape. It is complete for an agent to use 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains that account_ids is an array of strings with a 1-50 limit, which adds meaningful constraint beyond the schema's type definition.
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 it returns real-time balance per account id and specifies the HTTP endpoint. It distinguishes from siblings like openfinance_get_accounts_detail (different resource) and openfinance_list_accounts (list vs detail).
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 to pass account_ids as an array of 1-50 items and mentions that CREDIT accounts may return a warning instead of an error. However, it does not discuss when to use this tool versus alternatives or mention prerequisites.
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 indicate readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by explaining the batch shape ({ results, errors }), array size limit (1-50), and that it returns extended creditData, 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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose, followed by usage and output shape. No unnecessary words.
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, so description should explain return values. It mentions { results, errors } batch shape and extended creditData, but lacks details on the structure of results objects, which may be needed for complete understanding.
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. The description specifies account_ids is an array with size limit 1-50, but does not explain the format or valid values for each string item. Baseline 4 for 0 params? Actually 1 param, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 it returns full account objects with extended creditData per ID, and specifies the batch shape and array size limit. It distinguishes itself from siblings like openfinance_list_accounts by focusing on detailed per-ID 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?
The description implies usage for retrieving detailed account info by IDs, but does not explicitly exclude or compare with alternatives like openfinance_list_accounts, openfinance_get_account_balance, or openfinance_get_credit_card_bill.
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?
Adds important behavioral context beyond annotations: batch shape '{ results, errors }', payments[] interpretation (previous bill payment), and absence of paid/status field from Pluggy. 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?
Every sentence adds value; well-organized from core purpose to exclusions, parameter guidance, behavior note, and alternative. No 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 no output schema, description covers returned fields, batch shape, and edge cases. Lacks details on error responses or rate limits, but overall sufficient for the tool's simplicity.
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 sufficiently explains parameter usage: 'Pass `bill_ids` as an array' and recommends using openfinance_list_credit_card_bills to discover ids. Adds meaning beyond the bare 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 detail for one or more credit card bills by id' and lists specific fields (financeCharges, payments). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like openfinance_list_credit_card_bills and openfinance_list_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?
Explicitly states when to use (after discovering ids via openfinance_list_credit_card_bills) and when not to (for itemized transactions, use openfinance_list_transactions). Provides guidance on interpreting payments and checking paid status via an alternative tool.
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 readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive. The description adds behavioral context about executionStatus and connector metadata, and clarifies the two calling modes.
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 main purpose, then usage details. No wasted words.
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 simple tool with one optional param, annotations, and no output schema, the description covers return values, modes, and shapes adequately.
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 the description explains the single optional parameter `item` and its effect on the response (all vs single bank), adding value 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 it returns the status of a bank connection with specific statuses and metadata. It distinguishes from sibling tools like openfinance_list_connections by focusing on status, not listing.
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 explicit instructions on when to omit or pass the `item` parameter, explaining the return shapes for each case. It lacks exclusions or alternatives but provides clear context.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| item | No | ||
| type | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. Description adds crucial behavioral context: credit card balance is connector-dependent, 'bank' vs 'name' distinction, and aggregation behavior when omitting 'item'. 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?
Relatively long but well-structured: core purpose first, then critical usage nuances. Every sentence adds value, though could be slightly more concise.
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 all essential aspects: return fields, aggregation behavior, parameter effects, credit card balance caveat. No output schema but description outlines what's returned. References sibling tool for deeper credit card info.
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. Description compensates by explaining the effect of 'item' (omit vs pass) and enumerates the 'type' enum values (BANK, CREDIT) with their semantics. Could mention constraints like 'item' format but sufficient for an agent.
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?
Describes specific verb and resource ('Returns accounts for a bank connection'), lists exact fields (BANK, CREDIT, balances, etc.), and distinguishes from sibling tools like openfinance_get_accounts_detail and openfinance_list_credit_card_bills by mentioning their specific roles.
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 when to omit 'item' (all banks) vs pass it (single bank), warns against misinterpreting credit card balance, and directs to openfinance_list_credit_card_bills for standardized bill amounts.
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.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Fully describes the tool's behavior given zero parameters, no output schema, and annotations covering safety. Mentions relationship with sibling tool and explains return fields sufficiently.
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 in schema; description explains return field semantics (id, descriptionTranslated, parentId, etc.) which adds value beyond the empty 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 the transaction category taxonomy from Pluggy, cached per session. Distinguishes from sibling tools by noting the id field is used by openfinance_update_transaction_category.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. Description adds value by specifying the returned fields, which helps the agent understand the output. 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?
Single sentence, no wasted words, key information 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 return values and purpose, making it complete for this simple list 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?
No parameters exist, so baseline 4 applies. Description does not need to add parameter info.
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 saved bank connections, listing specific fields (connector_id, item_id, bank name, add_connection_url). It distinguishes from siblings that deal with accounts, transactions, etc.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives (e.g., for listing accounts or transactions). However, the purpose is straightforward and implied by description.
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.

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 indicate readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds extensive behavioral details: upstream error handling returns warning/error, search_queries aggregates up to 5000 transactions, CREDIT pending/posted varies by connector, and bulk support. This far exceeds annotation coverage without 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 lengthy but well-structured, front-loading the core purpose and then layering details about credit cards, filtering, pagination, search, error handling, and bulk support. Every sentence adds value, though the density could be slightly reduced without losing 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 (7 params, no output schema), the description covers all critical aspects: purpose, parameter usage, error states, alternative tools, and connection health checks. It leaves no major gaps for agent understanding.
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 the description fully explains all 7 parameters: from/to as ISO YYYY-MM-DD filters, page_size with max 500, search_queries with case-insensitive substring match and OR semantics, and account_ids for batching. It also details the behavior of search_queries aggregating up to 5000 items, adding substantial 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 specifies that the tool returns transactions for bank accounts (BANK or CREDIT type). It distinguishes credit card transaction retrieval as the only method for itemized data and links to sibling tools like openfinance_list_credit_card_bills, establishing clear 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 provides explicit guidance: for CREDIT accounts, it's the only way for itemized transactions; for standardized bill totals, use openfinance_list_credit_card_bills. It explains when to narrow date ranges if truncated, and suggests checking connection health when total is 0. This covers when to use and alternatives.
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.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds substantial behavioral context beyond the annotations. It explains that the tool internally resolves all accounts of a connection, fans out transactions, and returns a compact summary by default. It also discloses the truncation limit (5000 transactions per account) and the existence of a 'truncated:true' flag. Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description aligns with these.
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 relatively long but efficiently packs information. It front-loads the main purpose and then details parameters and behavior. While some repetition (e.g., mentioning 'entradas, saídas' both in description and later) could be trimmed, every sentence adds value for a complex tool. It is well-structured and easy to follow.
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 explains the return format: a compact summary with totals, monthly evolution, top expenses/receipts, and per-account breakdown. It also covers edge cases like omitting 'item' for all connections, filter options, and the truncation flag. The tool's complexity is matched by the completeness of the description.
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 schema description coverage at 0%, the description fully compensates by explaining each parameter: 'item' can be connector_id, connector_name, or item_id; 'from' and 'to' are ISO dates; 'granularity' has values 'monthly' (default, compact summary) and 'raw' (itemized rows); 'type' filters by BANK or CREDIT; 'top_n' is implicitly described as controlling the number of top expenses/receipts. No parameter is left unexplained.
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: consolidated cash-flow analysis for a bank connection over a period. It lists specific use cases ('fluxo de caixa', 'maiores gastos/recebimentos') and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like openfinance_list_accounts by noting that the tool resolves accounts internally, so separate calls are unnecessary.
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 guidance on when to use this tool, including scenarios like 'análise anual/mensal' and when to omit the 'item' parameter for all linked banks. It also clarifies that calling openfinance_list_accounts first is not needed, offering a clear alternative. However, it lacks explicit 'when not to use' statements for cases where raw transactions are needed without aggregation, though the granularity option partially addresses this.
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.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the agent knows it's a safe read operation. The description adds behavioral context by specifying that it checks a live status page, returns specific fields (global indicator, degraded components, incidents, your_banks_affected), and helps distinguish provider-side issues. This adds value 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 a single, well-structured paragraph. It front-loads the main action and then provides specific usage context and return information. Every sentence adds value without unnecessary 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?
For a zero-parameter tool with no output schema, the description is complete. It explains what the tool does, when to use it, what it returns (global indicator, degraded components, incidents, your_banks_affected), and how it relates to other tools. No additional information is needed.
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 zero parameters and is 100% coverage by default, so no parameter details are needed. The description does not need to add parameter semantics. A baseline of 4 is appropriate.
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. It distinguishes from the sibling tool openfinance_get_item_status, which checks the user's own connection. The verb 'Checks' and specific resource 'provider status' make the purpose 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 use this tool: when data looks incomplete or stale even though a connection shows UPDATED. It also tells when not to use it (for connection-specific issues) and names the alternative sibling tool (openfinance_get_item_status). This is excellent guidance.
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 disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, confirming no side effects. The description adds valuable behavioral context: honors user's plan (PF plan hides PJ banks), requires keywords, and returns a hint when keywords are omitted. 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 packed with useful information in three sentences: first defines the action and output, second adds behavioral constraints (plan filtering), third gives usage directive. No fluff, every sentence 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 output schema, the description explicitly lists all return fields (connector id, access, audience, linked connections/accounts, connect_url). It also covers parameter requirements, plan behavior, and error/fallback behavior (hint without keywords). Completely adequate for a 2-parameter tool with strong annotations.
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 parameter descriptions), but the description fully compensates by explaining keywords[] as an array of strings with an example, stating it is required, and describing include_accounts as a boolean that includes accounts when true. It adds meaning well 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 searches bank connectors by name (keywords), lists specific return fields (connector id, access, audience, linked connections/accounts, connect_url), and positions it as a prerequisite for connecting. It differentiates from siblings by stating it never dumps the whole catalog and is a preparatory step before connecting.
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 advises 'Call this BEFORE connecting' and explains that without keywords it returns a hint instead of dumping the catalog. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like 'marketplace' or 'connect', though the context is clear.
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?
The description thoroughly discloses behavioral traits beyond annotations: it overrides automatic categorization, teaches Pluggy by creating a Category Rule for future transactions, and describes batch error handling. Annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false) are consistent and do not contradict the description.
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, dense paragraph that front-loads the purpose and efficiently covers usage, side effects, and response. It could benefit from more structured formatting (e.g., bullet points), but it is concise with no redundant sentences.
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 (batch update with side effects) and the absence of an output schema and schema descriptions, the description provides complete context: input structure, side effects, output shape, and error handling. Nothing essential is missing.
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 fully compensates by explaining the 'items' parameter structure, the required fields (transaction_id and category_id), their origin from sibling tools, and the return shape. This adds essential 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 'corrects the category of one or more transactions' with a specific verb and resource. It includes the HTTP method PATCH and distinguishes itself from sibling list tools by explicitly describing the mutation operation.
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 guidance on when to use the tool ('fix miscategorized transactions and improve categorization accuracy') and specifies where to obtain required IDs from sibling tools. However, it does not explicitly exclude usage scenarios or compare with alternatives, but the context is sufficient.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
report_bugAIdempotentInspect
Report a bug, missing feature, or send feedback. Include the conversation array with recent messages for reproduction.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| context | No | ||
| message | Yes | ||
| conversation | No | [] |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds useful behavioral context by specifying that the conversation array is needed for reproduction, beyond what annotations indicate. No contradictions are present.
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 two sentences long, front-loading the purpose and then a key guideline. Every sentence is necessary, with no extraneous content.
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 and the tool's simplicity, the description covers the core task and a critical usage hint. It lacks mention of what happens after reporting (e.g., response or confirmation), but this is acceptable for a feedback 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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It only addresses the 'conversation' parameter (include for reproduction), leaving 'message' and 'context' unexplained. This is insufficient for an agent to understand their roles.
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 reports bugs, missing features, or sends feedback. The verb 'report' and resource types are explicit, and it distinguishes from sibling tools which are all unrelated (e.g., authenticate, connect, openfinance tools).
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 'Include the conversation array with recent messages for reproduction,' which provides context for when to include extra data. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives, though sibling tools cover distinct functions making confusion unlikely.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
show_versionARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Show the current MCP platform and adapter versions.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare read-only and idempotent; description adds specific version output context 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?
Single sentence with clear, front-loaded verb and object; no wasted words.
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 read-only tool with no parameters, the description fully specifies its return value without needing output schema.
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 present; baseline 4 per rules for zero-parameter 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?
The description clearly states it shows MCP platform and adapter versions, distinguishing it from other tools.
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?
No explicit when to use vs alternatives, but the tool is self-explanatory and has no siblings with overlapping purpose.
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 declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. Description adds context about returned data but no additional behavioral traits beyond what annotations imply.
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 sentence front-loaded with purpose, then specific details. No wasted words.
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 read-only status tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description fully explains what is returned.
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 no parameters (100% coverage), so description naturally has no param info. Baseline for 0 params is 4.
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 toolkit state with specific details (installed MCPs, connection status, catalog count). Distinct from sibling tools which focus on other areas like authentication or OpenFinance operations.
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?
Implied usage is for checking toolkit state, and sibling tools are all different, so no confusion. However, no explicit when-not or alternative guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
