yahoo_finance_ticker_isin

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real context beyond that by flagging the lookup as 'experimental' and 'yfinance-compatible', warning the agent the output may be unstable. Return values are covered by the output schema.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the action and resource, followed by the routing alternatives. Zero filler and no repetition of schema content.

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 read-only lookup with a rich output schema, the description supplies purpose, precondition, sibling routing, and an experimental caveat — everything an agent needs to invoke it correctly.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100% (the symbol param already documents 'Yahoo Finance symbol such as AAPL'), so the description adds no parameter detail beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate for a single fully-documented parameter.

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?

States a specific verb (Fetch) plus the exact resource (ISIN lookup for a Yahoo Finance symbol), and explicitly distinguishes itself from yahoo_finance_lookup and yahoo_finance_ticker_info. An agent can tell which sibling to pick without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Names two alternatives with the conditions that select them (searching for a ticker/company, broader company metadata) and specifies the input precondition ('known Yahoo Finance symbol'). Clear context is given, though it does not spell out when NOT to use this lookup (e.g., when the symbol is unknown).

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