Player's Bank MCP

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false and idempotentHint=true. Description adds context about persistence (permanent vs session) and the token source (browser). No contradictions with annotations. Could mention error behavior or permission details but is adequate.

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?

Description is relatively long but each sentence adds value. Front-loaded with main purpose. Could trim some redundancy (e.g., 'Best: add it...' is slightly conversational) but structure is logical.

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 authentication tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description covers both usage modes and token acquisition. It is complete enough for an agent to invoke correctly without ambiguity.

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 only one optional string parameter with 0% described. Description fully compensates: explains token is a JWT, how to obtain it, and that omitting token returns a login link. 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 specifies the tool's role: authentication for MCP.AI IDE agents. It distinguishes two login methods (permanent config vs session token) and the option to call without arguments to get a login link. This is specific and distinct from sibling tools like 'connect'.

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?

Provides clear when-to-use guidance: permanent token via config for non-expiring access, or session-only token by pasting JWT. Also explains calling with no args to get link. Does not explicitly list exclusions or when not to use, but context is sufficient for an agent to decide.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. Description adds valuable context about return behavior (authenticated status and URLs), going beyond what annotations provide.

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 with no waste, front-loaded with the main purpose immediately.

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 covers the two key return scenarios comprehensively, sufficient for an agent to understand behavior.

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, schema coverage is 100%. Description doesn't need to add parameter info; baseline for zero 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?

Clearly states it returns connection status and URLs, differentiating from siblings like 'authenticate'. The two cases (all connected vs. missing credentials) are explained, providing a specific verb and resource.

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 checking connection status, but no explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives like 'authenticate'. No exclusions or alternative mentions.

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

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

The description reveals many behavioral details beyond annotations: invoke works even when the MCP isn't installed and runs it "without bloating the tool list"; credential needs return a connect link; empty wallet returns a checkout/top-up link; search/describe flag installation status; writes require workspace owner/admin. This greatly exceeds the sparse annotations (readOnlyHint false, openWorldHint true).

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 dense single paragraph, but it is front-loaded with the core purpose and flows. Every sentence contributes new information, including the key invoke behavior and the prompt library. It could benefit from bullet points to improve scannability, but its length is justified by the tool's complexity.

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?

The description covers primary workflows, permissions, billing, authentication links, and the prompt library, which is impressive for such a multifaceted tool. However, it omits the `resume` action, does not explain the `immediate` parameter, and provides no return format (there is no output schema). These gaps make it slightly incomplete.

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 schema has 23 parameters and 0% documentation coverage. The description explains the `action` parameter's values and implies the roles of `query`, `mcp_id`, and `tool_id`, but it does not explain `limit`, `arguments`, `immediate`, `tier_slug`, `prompt_vars`, or other parameters. Given the large parameter surface, the description compensates only minimally.

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 identifies the tool as "the official mcp.ai marketplace — the in-platform catalog of every MCP/tool, AND the way to run them." It enumerates specific actions (search, describe, invoke, install, subscribe, etc.), distinguishing this tool from sibling OpenFinance tools which focus on financial data.

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?

Usage guidance is explicit and actionable. It states the core flow (action=search → describe → invoke), explicitly contrasts invoke vs. install ("prefer invoke for a single/occasional use" and "Use install only to make an MCP PERMANENT"), and describes when list_tools, subscribe/cancel, report_bug, and request_mcp are appropriate. It also notes that writes require owner/admin.

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

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

Adds behavioral details beyond destructiveHint: reveals data deletion, unavailability, and return of re-connect URL.

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?

Concise three-sentence description with no unnecessary words, front-loaded with key action.

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?

Adequately covers main action and outcome, but missing parameter description and response format beyond one line.

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 sole parameter 'item' is not explained in the description; schema coverage is 0%.

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 revokes consent and deletes connection data, making it distinct from sibling tools like connect or list 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?

Purpose is clear but lacks explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives; no exclusion criteria.

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

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

The description fully discloses behavioral traits beyond annotations: it waits up to ~60s, polls until completion, returns specific fields (`status`, `executionStatus`, `lastUpdatedAt`, `synced`, `needs_action`), and handles special cases like `needs_action` with `reconnect_url`. No annotation contradiction (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false are consistent with a write operation).

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 detailed but well-structured and front-loaded with the core action. Every sentence adds value, though it could be slightly more concise. It efficiently combines multiple important details without being overly verbose.

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 (sync, polling, wait modes, error handling, reconnect flow), the description covers all essential aspects. It describes the return format despite lacking an output schema, and addresses sibling tools for follow-up. Complete for the context.

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 adds complete meaning beyond the schema. It explains that `items` accepts an array of selectors (item_id, connector_id, connector_name, custom_label nickname) and that omitting it syncs all. It also explains `wait`: false for fire-and-forget. This fully compensates for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 to re-sync connections, waits for completion, and returns results. It uses specific verbs ('forces', 're-sync', 'waits') and distinguishes from sibling tools like openfinance_get_item_status (mentioned for re-checking if timed out).

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 states when to use ('when a balance or transaction list looks stale') and what not to do ('WITHOUT disconnecting/reconnecting'). It provides alternatives: fire-and-forget mode with `wait: false`, and re-checking with openfinance_get_item_status for timed-out syncs.

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

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

The description goes well beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint) by detailing error handling patterns (BALANCE_FETCH_ERROR with warning), degradation behavior when upstream is unavailable, and the response shape. 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.

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

The description is a single dense paragraph containing all necessary information without fluff. It could be slightly more structured (e.g., bullet points for different behaviors), but every sentence adds value, and it front-loads the core 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 the tool's complexity (real-time balance, multiple error modes, degradation) and the absence of an output schema, the description comprehensively covers all key behaviors, response shape, and edge cases. It is complete for an agent to correctly invoke and interpret results.

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 schema lacks descriptions for the account_ids parameter (0% coverage), but the description adds crucial constraints: 'Pass account_ids as an array (1–50)'. This provides meaning beyond the schema structure, though the format of the strings could be more explicit.

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 real-time balance per account id via GET /accounts/:id/balance, effectively communicating its purpose. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like openfinance_list_accounts or openfinance_get_accounts_detail by focusing on balance 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 provides clear usage context: pass account_ids as array (1-50), and explains special behavior for CREDIT accounts and degradation scenarios. While it doesn't explicitly state when not to use it, the context is sufficient for an agent to select this tool appropriately.

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

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

The description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: it specifies that results come in a results/errors batch shape and may include a provider_incident block when the provider has an incident, warning that credit limits/balances may be unreliable. This alerts the agent to potential data quality issues, which annotations do not cover.

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 front-loaded with the main purpose, and each sentence adds value. It could be slightly more concise by removing the example in parentheses, but overall it is efficient and well-structured.

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 lack of an output schema, the description explains the batch shape and the provider_incident edge case, but does not elaborate on the full account object structure or the fields in creditData. For an agent to use the returned data, additional detail about the object schema would be helpful.

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 single parameter account_ids is described as an array (1–50) and is required. The schema coverage is 0%, so the description fully compensates by specifying the array constraint and the batch nature. It does not explain the format of the strings, but the parameter name is self-explanatory.

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 mentions the batch shape. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like openfinance_list_accounts or openfinance_get_account_balance, though the mention of 'extended creditData' hints at greater 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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description includes a caveat about provider incidents and a batch size constraint, but does not explain the appropriate context for selecting this tool over siblings.

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

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

Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint), the description adds critical behavioral context: batch shape { results, errors }, Pluggy missing paid/status field, the meaning of payments array in Brazilian Open Finance, and the sparse nature of creditCardMetadata.billId. 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?

The description is a single paragraph that efficiently front-loads the purpose and return fields. It adds value with every sentence, but the density could be slightly reduced with bullet points for key caveats.

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 adequately covers the return fields (financeCharges, payments) and batch shape. It addresses complex nuances about payment semantics and paid status, making it complete for a read operation with good 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?

The sole parameter bill_ids is explained: pass as an array and discover IDs via openfinance_list_credit_card_bills. Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description compensates well by providing the necessary context, though it could offer more detail on array size limits.

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 credit card bills by ID, listing specific fields. It explicitly distinguishes itself from sibling tools by stating it does NOT return individual transactions and directs to openfinance_list_transactions for that purpose.

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: use openfinance_list_credit_card_bills first to discover IDs, use openfinance_list_transactions for itemized transactions, and warns against reconstructing bill totals from transactions. It also clarifies that payments[] does not indicate paid status.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false. The description adds important behavioral context: the reconnect_url reopens the widget in UPDATE mode for re-authentication without disconnecting or consuming a slot. It also describes the return format for single vs. all banks. No rate limits or data freshness are mentioned, but overall good transparency.

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 concise, using two sentences and a line about bulk support. It is front-loaded with the core purpose. However, the first sentence is somewhat long and could be split for readability. No unnecessary words, but slight improvement in structure would earn a 5.

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 complexity (3 optional parameters, no output schema, annotations present), the description covers return values, behavior differences, and reconnect functionality. It lacks explanation for `item_id` and does not mention authentication requirements or error scenarios. With siblings, it mostly stands alone but could better distinguish from openfinance_list_connections.

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 the description must explain all parameters. It explains `item` (single bank) and `item_ids` (bulk), but does not explain `item_id`. The relationship between `item` and `item_id` is unclear, leaving ambiguity. This is a significant gap given the lack of schema descriptions.

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 current status of a bank connection, listing possible statuses like UPDATED and LOGIN_ERROR, plus executionStatus, connector metadata, and reconnect_url. It distinguishes between single bank (using `item`) and all linked banks (omitting `item`), and mentions bulk support with `item_ids`. This specificity differentiates it from sibling tools like openfinance_list_connections.

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 context on when to use `item` versus omitting it, and mentions bulk support. However, it does not explicitly state when NOT to use this tool versus alternatives like openfinance_list_connections, which might return similar data. No explicit exclusions or alternative recommendations are given.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint; description adds return shape (batch with results/errors) but no further behavioral context 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?

Single sentence front-loads purpose and lists fields; slightly verbose but efficient for the detail provided.

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, but description enumerates returned fields and batch format; adequate for a detail retrieval tool, though error handling not addressed.

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 adds constraint (array 1-50) and implicit ID meaning, compensating for schema gap.

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 returns full loan contract detail by ID, lists specific fields, and distinguishes from sibling tool openfinance_list_loans.

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 using after openfinance_list_loans for deep-dive, specifies array size 1-50 and batch shape, but does not discuss when to avoid.

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

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

Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent behavior. The description adds critical behavioral nuances: CREDIT balance is connector-dependent (do not treat as monthly bill), provider incidents may cause unreliable values, and identity notices require deduplication. These go well beyond what annotations provide.

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?

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity (4 parameters, nuanced data fields, provider incidents, identity deduplication, bulk support), the description covers all necessary aspects. It mentions return fields, alternative tools, and behavioral caveats, making it 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?

The input schema has no parameter descriptions (0% coverage). The description compensates by explaining the semantics of 'item' (omit for all, pass for single bank) and mentions 'type', 'item_id', and 'item_ids' in the context of bulk support. However, it does not explicitly describe each parameter in a structured way, so a slight deduction.

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?

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable behavioral context: the response is cached, it is a single aggregated response (no batch ids), and explains the field structure. This exceeds what annotations alone provide.

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: the first states the core functionality and the second details the output fields. Every sentence adds value, and there is no superfluous information. It is front-loaded and efficient.

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 having no output schema, the description fully describes each field in the response entries (id, description, descriptionTranslated, parentId, parentDescription) and notes caching and batch behavior. This is complete for a simple read-only taxonomy listing 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?

The input schema has no parameters, so schema description coverage is 100%. The baseline score is 4 per the rubric. The description adds no parameter information because none exist, but it does explain the returned fields, which is peripheral to parameter semantics.

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 tool's purpose is clearly stated: it returns Pluggy's transaction category taxonomy. It specifies the HTTP method (GET /categories), caching behavior, and explicitly links to the sibling tool that uses the categoryId. This differentiates it from other list or update 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 implies usage context by noting the id is used by openfinance_update_transaction_category and that the response is cached for the session. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or provide exclusionary criteria.

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

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

Annotations already mark readOnlyHint=true, but the description adds behavioral context: the reconnect_url behavior (opens UPDATE mode, refreshes in place) and that it does not consume a slot or require disconnecting. 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?

The description is relatively concise but contains necessary details about both the main output and the reconnect_url behavior. It front-loads the main purpose and then adds usage notes, keeping it efficient without unnecessary verbiage.

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, no output schema, and low complexity, the description fully covers what the tool returns and how to use the reconnect_url. No gaps remain for the agent to need additional information.

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 with specific fields (connector_id, item_id, bank name, etc.), distinguishing it from siblings like openfinance_list_accounts or openfinance_disconnect_bank. The verb 'Returns' and the list of fields define the function precisely.

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 the reconnect_url (needs re-authentication, MFA errors, stale data) and states it does not consume a slot or require disconnecting. However, it does not contrast this list tool with other list siblings (e.g., openfinance_list_transactions) for general listing scenarios.

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

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

The description exhaustively details payment semantics, derived payment_status, billing cycles, connector asymmetry, and warnings about bill grouping reliability. This goes far beyond the annotations (readOnly, idempotent, not destructive).

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 overly long and dense, mixing semantic explanations, usage guidelines, and parameter details without clear separation. It could be more structured and concise, as many sentences add significant detail but reduce readability.

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 missing page/page_size, the description covers almost all relevant context: edge cases, derived fields, connector limitations, and warnings. It is highly complete given the tool's complexity and lack of 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?

The description explains account_id, account_ids, and include_open_bill in depth, but misses page and page_size. With 0% schema coverage, the description should cover all parameters; it misses two, leaving them ambiguous.

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 closed credit card bills for CREDIT-type accounts, lists key fields, and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like openfinance_get_credit_card_bill and openfinance_list_transactions. It also mentions bulk support via account_ids.

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

The description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: graceful error handling (returns warning instead of throwing on 403), data integrity cross-checking for mass zeroing, and flagging suspect positions with integrity:'suspect_zeroed'. Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, and description confirms no destructive actions.

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 front-loaded with the main purpose but becomes verbose with detailed data integrity warnings. It could be more concise while retaining key 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 and 6 parameters with 0% schema coverage, the description covers the return format, error handling, and data integrity well. However, it lacks descriptions for individual parameters, which is a gap for 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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description only adds meaning for one parameter (item_ids for bulk support). Other parameters like item, page, type, page_size are not described. The enum values in schema are not explained in the description.

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 investment portfolio for a connection, listing specific investment types (FIIs, stocks, ETFs, etc.) with detailed fields. It distinguishes from siblings like openfinance_list_investment_transactions by focusing on portfolio overview.

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 investment portfolios but does not explicitly guide when to use this tool versus alternatives like openfinance_list_investment_transactions or openfinance_get_account_balance. No exclusions or criteria are provided.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. Description adds behavioral details: lists transaction types, returned fields (quantity, value, amount, netAmount, expenses), and bulk support. 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?

Two concise paragraphs, front-loaded with purpose and key details. No fluff. Efficiently covers purpose, fields, prerequisite, and bulk mode.

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?

Output schema absent, but description enumerates many return fields and provides prerequisite. Missing pagination behavior and error handling. Adequate for a read-only list tool with good 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?

With 0% schema description coverage, description must compensate. Only investment_id and investment_ids are described; page and page_size are omitted entirely, leaving the agent unaware of pagination support.

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 movement history for investment positions (BUY/SELL/TAX/INTEREST/AMORTIZATION/TRANSFER). It distinguishes from siblings by specifying investment-specific transactions and referencing openfinance_list_investments as a prerequisite.

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 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?

The description is lengthy but information-dense, with clear sections and front-loaded purpose. Every sentence adds unique value (e.g., pagination modes, detail levels, error patterns). A slight reduction because it could be tightened slightly without losing completeness, but it remains well-structured and efficient for its depth.

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 (8 parameters, rich behavioral nuances, multiple sibling tools, no output schema), the description is remarkably complete. It covers edge cases (truncation, provider incidents, sync failures), alternative tools, response structure (account echo, warning/error), and bulk support. It leaves no critical gaps for an agent to misuse the 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?

It thoroughly explains all parameters: from/to as ISO YYYY-MM-DD, search_queries as case- and accent-insensitive substring with OR semantics, detail enum (compact/rich/raw) with usage guidance, page/page_size for pagination modes, account_id required, and account_ids for bulk. It adds meaning beyond schema names.

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 transactions for bank accounts (BANK or CREDIT type). It specifies that for CREDIT accounts, it is the ONLY way to get itemized transactions, distinguishing it from sibling tools like openfinance_list_credit_card_bills. The verb 'Returns transactions for a bank account' is specific and 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 provides explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For credit card itemized data, it's the only option, but for standardized bill totals it directs to openfinance_list_credit_card_bills. It explains detail levels, pagination modes, search behavior, and advises against reconstructing bill totals from transactions. It also recommends checking item status if credit results are empty.

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

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint), the description discloses important behaviors: truncation at 5000/account, provider_incident block indicating incomplete data, and that reconnecting does not fix provider issues. These add significant context for the agent.
