get_taiwan_stock_financial_reports

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It only states the basic read operation and types of data returned, but fails to disclose behaviors like date range handling, pagination, error conditions, or output schema details (though an output schema exists).

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 a single sentence of 12 words, which is concise but lacks structure. It doesn't use bullet points or sections to present information clearly, though it avoids unnecessary verbosity.

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 complexity of financial reports, the description is insufficient. It omits details on parameter usage, return format, and how to interpret results. The existence of an output schema helps, but the description should provide more operational context.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. However, it provides no information about parameter formats (e.g., date format) or semantics beyond the property names. The agent is left guessing about valid date formats and the effect of end_date.

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 the verb 'Get' and the three specific financial reports (income statement, balance sheet, cash-flow rows) for a Taiwan company. It differentiates from sibling tools that focus on analyses or other financial metrics like valuation or revenue, but does not explicitly contrast with them.

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 its siblings, such as analyze_taiwan_stock_financial_health or analyze_taiwan_stock_fundamental. There is no mention of prerequisites, data frequency, or typical use cases.

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