FinancesV0_listFinancialEventGroups

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

With no annotations available, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states that the tool 'runs in your Kuudo deployment, not here' and that it returns groups, but it does not clarify whether this is a read-only operation, how results are paginated or returned, or what 'catalog entry' means. The claim of a 'given date range' is also not reflected in the empty input schema, creating a behavioral inconsistency.

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 brief, and the core function is contained in a single clear sentence. However, the first sentence 'Catalog entry. Runs in your Kuudo deployment, not here' is vague and does not earn its place; it raises questions without resolving them.

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?

For a tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is too thin. It does not document date-range parameter details, response shape, pagination, or how this differs from the many similar Finances sibling tools. An agent cannot confidently select and invoke this tool correctly based on the provided information.

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 is empty but sets additionalProperties to true, so the agent receives essentially no parameter constraints. The description adds that a date range is relevant, but it never specifies the parameter names, types, or formats. With zero defined parameters the baseline could be 4, but the unconstrained additionalProperties and missing date-range details make the description insufficient for correct invocation.

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 names a specific resource and action: 'Returns financial event groups for a given date range.' The verb+resource is identifiable and distinct enough at a surface level. However, the opening 'Catalog entry. Runs in your Kuudo deployment, not here' is confusing and does not help differentiate this tool from closely related siblings like FinancesV0_listFinancialEvents or FinancesV0_listFinancialEventsByGroupId.

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 such as FinancesV0_listFinancialEvents, FinancesV0_listFinancialEventsByGroupId, or Finances_listTransactions. The mention of a date range implies one use case, but there are no exclusions, prerequisites, or decision criteria to steer an agent.

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