finance_mna_pro_forma

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

Annotations already carry the behavioral profile (destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true), and the description does not contradict them. The description adds some useful context: it routes through the domain-agent dispatcher and is scoped by JWT, tenant, and company. However, it does not disclose what side effects the dispatched action may have or warn about destructive behavior, which is noteworthy for a destructiveHint=true tool.

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 short and has a clear Args section, but the opening sentence simply repeats the tool name inside the action identifier. That sentence could be repurposed to describe the action's actual output or semantics. Overall it is concise, but the front-loaded sentence is largely wasted.

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?

This is a generic dispatcher with no explanation of the underlying 'finance_mna_pro_forma' action: no intended scenario, expected inputs, output format, or constraints. An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, but the agent still cannot infer what message or structured inputs will produce a useful pro-forma result. Given the nested complexity of domain-agent actions and the enormous sibling list, this description is under-specified.

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. It gives one-line definitions for message ('Free-text objective') and inputs ('Optional JSON string of structured inputs'), which slightly exceed the bare schema. Still, these are generic and vague: the agent is not told what structured inputs the M&A pro-forma action accepts, what format the JSON should take, or what happens when both parameters are left at their defaults.

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 opens with 'Run the finance domain agent action `finance_mna_pro_forma`', which essentially restates the tool name rather than explaining what the action does. It tells the agent that this is a domain-agent dispatch, but it never states the actual purpose of 'finance_mna_pro_forma' (e.g., preparing a pro forma M&A model or scenario). A reader must guess from the tool name.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description mentions routing through the domain-agent dispatcher under JWT/tenant/company scope, but that is architectural context, not usage direction. With a huge sibling list containing many other finance_* actions, the agent is given no basis for choosing this tool over finance_query_data, finance_chat, or finance_due_diligence.

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