openfinance_search_bank_connectors

Read-onlyIdempotent

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. Some non-Open-Finance credential connectors carry a caveat warning that they don't auto-update (needs periodic manual reconnection) — surface it so the user can prefer the institution's Open Finance connector for automation. Honors the user's plan (a PF plan hides PJ banks; a PJ plan covers BOTH — PF and PJ banks connect and count under the same plan). 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).

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds valuable behavioral details: caveat warnings for non-Open-Finance connectors, plan-based visibility, and that empty keywords returns a hint. No contradictions 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 a single paragraph but packs a lot of useful information. Every sentence adds value, though it could be slightly restructured for brevity. It is front-loaded with the main verb and resource.

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?

For a search tool with no output schema, the description covers all key aspects: return fields (connector id, access, audience, linked connections, connect_url, caveat), plan behavior, and the consequences of omitting keywords. It leaves no obvious gaps for an agent to misunderstand.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description explains both parameters thoroughly: keywords is array of bank names (required), include_accounts triggers account details in response. It also notes that omitting keywords yields a hint (not a full catalog dump).

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 explicitly states the tool searches bank connectors by name (keywords). It distinguishes itself as a pre-connect search step, unlike the 'connect' sibling. It clearly indicates the return fields and the purpose of providing a one-click connect URL.

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?

The description commands 'Call this BEFORE connecting' and specifies that keywords[] is required, otherwise it returns a hint. It also explains plan-based filtering (PF hides PJ banks). It does not need to exclude alternative tools explicitly because the context of 'before connecting' is clear.

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.
