optimal_send_window

Compare current FX rate to historical distribution to identify statistically favorable conversion windows for currency pairs.

Instructions

Tells you where today's rate sits in the N-day distribution and whether now is statistically favourable to convert. Useful for FX timing decisions.

Behavior2/5

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

Description discloses use of N-day distribution and statistical favorability but lacks details on statistical method, assumptions, limitations, or side effects. With no annotations, this is insufficient.

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?

Two concise sentences with clear purpose, though no structural elements like bullet points or sections.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

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

Description lacks explanation of output format (e.g., percentile, recommendation) and how parameters interact. Given no output schema, this is a significant gap.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description adds no additional parameter meaning beyond the schema (e.g., how 'days' affects the distribution).

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?

Description clearly states the tool compares today's rate to an N-day distribution and assesses statistical favorability for conversion timing, distinguishing it from sibling tools like convert or get_rate.

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?

Description says 'Useful for FX timing decisions', providing context but no explicit when-to-use vs. alternatives or when-not-to-use guidance.

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