get_taiwan_stock_official_quote

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It states it gets the latest official close quote but does not mention any behavioral traits like data freshness, authentication, or potential side effects. The presence of an output schema mitigates some return value uncertainty.

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 that conveys the core purpose without any extraneous information. It is well-structured and 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 the tool's low complexity (2 parameters, output schema present), the description is somewhat complete but lacks context on what differentiates this from sibling tools like 'get_taiwan_stock_prices' and does not clarify the meaning of 'official' or market 'auto' behavior.

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%, meaning the property descriptions are empty. The tool description adds little beyond the schema: it mentions TWSE/TPEx (relating to 'market') and 'Taiwan security' (relating to 'stock_id') but does not explain the 'auto' default for market or provide any parameter-specific guidance.

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 tool's purpose: 'Get the latest official TWSE or TPEx close quote for a Taiwan security.' It uses a specific verb-resource combination and distinguishes itself from siblings like 'get_taiwan_stock_prices' by emphasizing 'official close quote'.

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 implies usage for obtaining official closing quotes but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as for intraday or historical quotes. No guidance on when not to use it.

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