working_capital_analysis__cash_conversion_cycle

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

No annotations are present, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as whether the tool requires pre-computed day values, what the output represents, or if there are any side effects (none expected). The agent has no information beyond the name.

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 extremely short but this is under-specification rather than conciseness. It provides no substantive information beyond the tool name. A concise description would be efficient yet informative, but this one lacks necessary content.

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 the tool has three required parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is completely inadequate. It does not explain the purpose, input semantics, output format, or usage context. An AI agent cannot reliably select or invoke this tool with the current description.

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?

The input schema has three parameters (dio_v, dpo_v, dso_v) with 0% description coverage. The description does not explain what these parameters represent (likely days inventory outstanding, days payable outstanding, days sales outstanding) or their expected format. The agent must infer meaning from the parameter names alone.

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 is essentially a tautology: '[working-capital-analysis] cash_conversion_cycle' just repeats the tool name with brackets. It does not explain what the tool calculates (e.g., DIO + DSO - DPO) or differentiate it from sibling tools like dio, dso, dpo that compute individual components.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The sibling tools include component calculations and other working capital metrics, but the description does not clarify whether this tool should be used when all three inputs are available or if it replaces individual computations.

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