Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. Description adds specific output detail (platform and adapter versions), providing behavioral context beyond annotations 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?
Single, front-loaded sentence with no redundant words. Every word serves a purpose.
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 low complexity, no parameters, no output schema, and strong annotations, description fully covers what the tool does. No missing 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?
No parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%. Description adds no parameter details, which is acceptable given zero 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?
Description clearly states it shows platform and adapter versions. Verb 'show' directly indicates action, and resource is precise. Distinguishes well from sibling tools which are either authentication or openfinance-specific.
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 or alternatives mentioned, but the tool's simplicity implies it is the go-to version check. Usage guidance is implied rather than stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

The tools are largely distinct, especially the openfinance_* suite which follows clear resource+action patterns. A few could be confused (e.g., openfinance_list_transactions vs openfinance_list_transactions_by_item, or get_account_balance vs list_accounts) but descriptions are thorough and clarify boundaries. The non-prefixed tools (authenticate, connect, marketplace) are also distinct, though 'marketplace' is quite overloaded internally.
The openfinance_* tools follow a very consistent verb_noun pattern (list, get, force_sync, update, search, provider_status). However, the platform tools are heterogeneous: authenticate, connect, report_bug, show_version are verb_noun, but 'marketplace' and 'toolkit_info' are nouns. This mix is a minor inconsistency, but overall the naming is predictable across the two clear groups.
At 25 tools, this is on the heavy side (16-25 is considered heavy), but the breadth is justified by a comprehensive Open Finance API (19 tools) plus platform management (6 tools). Each openfinance_* tool maps to a specific endpoint or operation, so none feel redundant. Slightly above the ideal 3-15 range, but appropriate for a full financial data adapter.
The Open Finance surface is remarkably complete: accounts, transactions, bills, loans, investments, categories, connection management (list, force_sync, status, provider_status, search connectors, disconnect), and even a categorization update. The platform side covers authentication, connectivity, marketplace operations (search/describe/invoke/install/subscribe), bug reporting, version, and toolkit info. No obvious dead ends or missing lifecycle steps.
