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.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, indicating a safe read operation. The description adds context on what is returned (global indicator, degraded components, open incidents, your_banks_affected) without contradicting annotations. It enriches transparency but does not compensate for missing annotation coverage since annotations are already present.

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 somewhat lengthy but well-structured: it starts with the core purpose, then provides usage guidance, and finally lists return values. Every sentence adds value, though it could be slightly more compact without losing clarity.

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 no output schema and zero parameters, the description provides a detailed overview of return fields (global indicator, degraded components, open incidents, your_banks_affected), sufficiently covering what the agent can expect. The tool's complexity is low, and the description is complete.

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 exist, so schema coverage is 100%. The baseline for 0 parameters is 4. The description does not need to add parameter semantics, and it does not attempt to, which is appropriate.

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's public status page, distinct from the user's connection status via openfinance_get_item_status. It specifies the resource (provider health) and scope (public status page), making the purpose unmistakable.

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 advises when to use the tool: when data looks incomplete or stale despite a connection showing UPDATED, and explains it reveals upstream outages. It also distinguishes from the sibling tool openfinance_get_item_status, providing clear context for selection.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most openfinance_* tools target distinct resource/action pairs, but there is real overlap among list_accounts, get_accounts_detail, and get_account_balance, as well as between list_transactions and list_transactions_by_item, and between get_credit_card_bill and list_credit_card_bills. The descriptions are detailed enough to usually resolve ambiguity, but the number of near-overlapping read/status tools makes mis-selection plausible.

Naming Consistency4/5

The 21 openfinance_* tools follow a clear openfinance_<verb>_<noun> convention with predictable verbs like list, get, update, force, disconnect, and search. The non-prefixed platform tools (authenticate, connect, marketlace, report_bug, show_version, toolkit_info) break the pattern but are few enough to keep the naming mostly coherent.

Tool Count3/5

25 tools is at the heavy end for the stated banking domain, and several could reasonably be merged: get_account_balance/get_accounts_detail/list_accounts and list_transactions/list_transactions_by_item overlap in purpose. The breadth of resources covered accounts, cards, loans, investments, connections, and provider health helps justify the count, but it still feels slightly bloated.

Completeness5/5

The Open Finance workflow is thoroughly covered: connect discover, force sync, status checks, accounts, balances, transactions, credit-card bills, loans, investments, category correction, disconnection, and provider health. Edge cases like stale data, consent errors, provider incidents, and cross-connector asymmetries are explicitly handled, leaving no obvious dead ends for an agent.
