businessstandard_news

Fetch Business Standard top stories from its home page with no input, returning titles, URLs, publication times, summaries, authors, and images as structured JSON.

Instructions

Get Business Standard top stories. Returns Business Standard top stories from its home page, with no input needed: title, canonical URL and, where present, publication time, summary, author and image. Some listed stories are premium (subscriber-only), and requesting one from the article endpoint returns 403.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden and does meaningfully: it discloses that no input is required, lists the returned fields, and flags that some stories are subscriber-only and yield a 403 from the article endpoint. It omits pagination limits or refresh behavior, but the premium/403 caveat is a valuable non-obvious trait.

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?

Three compact clauses, front-loaded with the verb and resource, followed by the return shape and the premium caveat. The field enumeration is slightly listy but each element is informative and nothing is redundant.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a zero-parameter list tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the essentials: what it returns, that it needs no input, and the premium-story 403 behavior. It is largely self-sufficient, with only minor gaps around freshness/pagination.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline of 4 applies; there is nothing for the description to clarify beyond confirming 'no input needed', which it does.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get Business Standard top stories' from its home page), and enumerates the returned fields. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from siblings like businessstandard_headlines or businessstandard_article, so it falls just short of a 5.

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?

Usage context is implied (fetch the home-page top stories with no input), and it warns about premium items returning 403 from the article endpoint. However, it never states when to prefer this over businessstandard_headlines or businessstandard_article, leaving the sibling routing to inference.

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