openfinance_list_accounts

Read-onlyIdempotent

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. A CREDIT row may carry creditData.usedAmount (how much of THIS card's limit the bank reports as consumed) and a balance_notice. balance_notice means balance came back 0,00 while the bank's own payload indicates an outstanding amount — some issuers never fill the card's consolidated balance field. When it is present, do NOT tell the user the card has nothing to pay: read the amount from openfinance_list_credit_card_bills instead. bankData.closingBalance and automaticallyInvestedBalance are provider-reported extras that can LAG right after a connection is first created: the bank may publish the connection as UPDATED before those derived fields converge, so they can briefly carry a stale/phantom value that a force sync (openfinance_force_sync) reconciles. The account's own balance is authoritative — treat those two as hints until they agree with it. May include a provider_incident block when the Open Finance provider has an OPEN incident affecting a bank in this response: balances and credit limits may be unreliable (incomplete or wrong, e.g. a credit limit near 1,00) even with the connection UPDATED, until the provider recovers. Do not present those values as real. May include an identity_notice when the SAME account (same number) arrives via two connections stamped with DIFFERENT owner/taxNumber: in Open Finance those fields reflect each connection's CONSENT HOLDER (e.g. a joint account consented by both holders), so dedupe by account number before summing balances and do not attribute ownership by owner/taxNumber for those accounts.

Bulk support: accepts item_ids for batched execution.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The annotations already carry the safety profile (readOnlyHint, idempotent, non-destructive), and the description adds substantial behavioral context beyond that: credit `balance` is connector-dependent and not 'this month's bill', `balance_notice` means a zero balance may be false, bankData extras can carry stale/phantom values after connection creation, and provider_incident/identity_notice blocks signal unreliable data or consent-holder semantics. It even tells the agent what not to tell the user in each scenario.

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 long, but every section addresses a real correctness pitfall (bank vs legal-entity name, credit balance semantics, lagging derived fields, incident and notice blocks) and it is front-loaded with the core purpose first. The structure is logical and dense with no filler, though it sits at the upper bound of acceptable length.

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?

With no output schema and a complex response containing nested bankData/creditData and conditional notice blocks, the description fully compensates by enumerating return fields, explaining response aggregation across connections, and documenting each edge case (incidents, identity notices, stale values, dedup rules). An agent has everything it needs to call the tool correctly and interpret results faithfully.

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?

With schema description coverage at 0%, the description carries the full burden and largely delivers: it explains `item` (single-bank targeting plus the omit-to-list-all behavior), `item_ids` (bulk batched execution), and `type` (BANK/CREDIT from the enum appears in the first sentence). The only gap is `item_id` (singular) as an input parameter, whose meaning is only implied via response tagging rather than explicitly contrasted with `item`.

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 opening sentence states a specific verb+resource with concrete output fields ('Returns accounts for a bank connection: BANK... and CREDIT... with balance, number, type, subtype, bankData, and creditData'). It clearly distinguishes this listing tool from siblings like openfinance_list_credit_card_bills and openfinance_get_accounts_detail by specifying exactly which data this tool produces.

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?

Explicit when/when-not guidance is given: omit `item` when the user asks for 'my accounts/cards' without naming a bank, pass `item` to target a single bank, and use item_ids for bulk execution. It names openfinance_list_credit_card_bills as the alternative for standardized open-bill amounts and openfinance_force_sync for reconciling lagging fields, giving the agent a complete routing matrix.

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