Cusip To Isin

cusip_to_isin
Read-onlyIdempotent

Convert a CUSIP to its ISIN by prefixing the country code (default "US") and appending the computed ISIN check digit. E.g. CUSIP "037833100" -> "US0378331005".

Example tool call

This call uses example arguments supplied in the tool’s input schema.

    "arguments": {
      "cusip": "037833100"
    },
    "name": "cusip_to_isin"
  }
}

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds useful behavioral context: the default country code 'US', the fact that the check digit is computed, and an example of the transformation. 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single sentence followed by a helpful example, front-loading the verb and resource. Every word earns its place with no redundancy.

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 simple, deterministic conversion tool, the description is complete. It explains the input, the transformation, and provides an example output, matching the schema and annotations. No output schema exists, but the example fills that gap.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. The description enhances this by explaining the algorithm (prefix + check digit) and including a worked example, adding value beyond the schema's purely descriptive fields.

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's action: 'Convert a CUSIP to its ISIN', with a specific method (prefixing country code and appending check digit) and a concrete example. This distinguishes it from sibling validation tools like validate_cusip or validate_isin.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage when a CUSIP needs conversion to an ISIN, but does not explicitly mention when to use this over sibling tools like validate_cusip or validate_isin. No exclusions or alternative guidance is provided.

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