xero_gst_report

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve GST report data from Xero through an authenticated connector. Use it to access tax summaries for filing, reconciliation, and compliance reviews.

Instructions

Xero connector operation gst_report (platform tool xero.gst_report).

Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority.

Args: arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation. project_id: Authenticated Project UUID. project_ref: Exact project correlation reference. connector_account_ref: Project-bound connector account alias. idempotency_key: Stable business-action identity. effect: Required and must be read; Spring verifies it. approval_ref: Approved platform task UUID when resuming a write.

TDQS

C2.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive. The description adds some supporting context: effect must be 'read' and Spring verifies it, plus the governed connector routing constraint. It does not contradict the annotations, and it does not need to restate them, but it adds no output or error behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is compact and uses a clear labeled Args list with one line per parameter. It is appropriately sized, though the opening line could have been replaced with a real functional statement rather than repeating the tool name.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Although annotations and an output schema reduce some burden, the description still omits the core semantics of what a GST report operation does and what arguments should be placed in the arguments JSON. An agent selecting among dozens of Xero tools would not be able to confidently decide this is the right report tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage, this list carries the parameter documentation burden, and it does define each field's role (project_id, connector_account_ref, idempotency_key, etc.). The main gap is 'arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation,' which is circular and does not describe the payload expected by gst_report.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens by restating the operation name ('Xero connector operation `gst_report` (platform tool `xero.gst_report`)') and then jumps to routing authority. It never states that this reads or prepares a GST report, so an agent must infer the purpose from the tool name alone.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is given for when to call this tool versus any of the many Xero report/connector siblings (e.g., xero_bas_report, xero_profit_loss_report). The only contextual statement, 'Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority,' describes authorization routing, not selection criteria.

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