kalshi_mve_collection

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

With no annotations, the description must fully describe behavior. It only states the purpose and return structure but omits side effects (e.g., read-only nature), rate limits, authentication needs, or error conditions. The agent cannot assess risk or call frequency.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

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

The description is very short with two sentences. The first sentence states the purpose, the second gives the return format. While minimal, every word is necessary; no filler. Could be slightly improved but efficient.

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

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

Given a single required parameter and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what a multivariate event collection is, how to get the ticker, or any error responses. For a new agent, it's insufficient for proper usage.

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

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

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It mentions 'by ticker', which aligns with the parameter name 'collectionTicker', but does not explain what constitutes a valid ticker, how to obtain it, or any constraints. No added value over the schema.

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

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

The description clearly states that the tool retrieves a single multivariate event collection identified by ticker, and it distinguishes from the sibling 'kalshi_mve_collections' (plural) which likely lists all collections. The verb 'one...by ticker' implies a retrieval action, though it could be more explicit.

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

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'kalshi_mve_collections' or other kalshi tools. It does not mention prerequisites, context, or exclusions.

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