Server Quality Checklist

Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

Latest release: v1.0.1
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with thorough descriptions explaining differences (e.g., last_trade vs last_quote, stocks_section vs stocks_sections, ws_subscribe vs ws_collect). Even closely related tools like markets_status and markets_status_all are well-differentiated.
Naming Consistency5/5
Tool names follow consistent patterns: stocks_ prefix for equity tools, markets_ for market tools, ws_ for WebSocket tools, and descriptive names like last_trade, last_quote, etc. All use snake_case uniformly, making the set predictable.
Tool Count3/5
At 36 tools, the set is large but reflects the comprehensive financial data coverage (stocks, crypto, forex, markets, economic calendar, DEX, WebSocket streaming). While it could be more focused, each tool seems necessary for the domain, keeping it just above the typical ideal range.
Completeness4/5
The tool surface covers major financial data needs: equities (fundamentals, filings, insider trades, ratios, screening, historical bars), markets (schedules, status, calendar), crypto/forex (OHLCV bars, live quotes), WebSocket streaming, and DEX data. Minor gaps like crypto order books or options data exist but are not core to the server's expressed purpose.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds that it returns each company's reported value and mentions pagination, which is consistent. No additional behavioral traits beyond annotations, but no contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with main purpose, no extraneous information. Efficiently communicates key details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description explains the return value (each company's reported value). It provides an illustrative example. Annotation coverage is present. Slight gap: no explanation of the unit or taxonomy parameters, but they are self-explanatory from the schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds context by explaining the concept and period parameters with examples, but doesn't add significant meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description uses specific verb 'screen' and explicitly states it screens one XBRL concept for one fiscal period across all filers, clearly distinguishing it from sibling stocks_financial_concept which does time series for one company.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Directly states when to use (cross-sectional across all filers) and when to use the alternative sibling (stocks_financial_concept). Also mentions pagination via cursor/limit. However, it does not provide exclusions for other siblings or additional context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true. Description adds concrete behavioral details: size caps, _truncated note, and pagination mechanism, which are not in annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences, each with distinct purpose: purpose, limitation/solution, alternative. Front-loaded and no extraneous text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers key aspects (large-range handling, pagination, alternative tools) but does not describe the output format (OHLCV fields) which is essential since there is no output schema. Slightly incomplete but still informative.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so each parameter already has a description. The tool description adds only minor context about default interval (1m) and pagination hints. No significant parameter clarification beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'Fetch historical OHLCV bars for a US equity over a date/time range at a chosen interval', specifying verb, resource, and scope. Distinguishes from live-price siblings (last_trade, last_quote) and implicitly from crypto_bars/forex_bars by restricting to US equities.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly guides handling of large ranges via narrowing window or pagination, and directs to alternatives for live prices. However, does not explicitly exclude usage for non-historical scenarios like streaming.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: it explains that the WebSocket opens if needed, ticks are buffered, and the tool returns connection status. Annotations only provide readOnlyHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the description adds value.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, concise and front-loaded with the main action. Every sentence provides necessary information without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the return value ('Returns current connection status') and mentions buffering and the companion tool. It could mention prerequisites like authentication, but overall it is complete for the tool's complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema already has 100% description coverage for both parameters (product enum and symbols array). The description does not add new information about the parameters, adhering to the baseline for high coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action: 'Open (if needed) the live WebSocket and subscribe to symbols on a channel.' It specifies the resource and verb, and distinguishes from sibling tools like ws_poll, ws_unsubscribe, and ws_disconnect.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description indicates when to use the tool ('subscribe to symbols') and mentions the companion tool ws_poll for reading buffered ticks. It does not explicitly exclude scenarios, but the sibling list provides context for alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds that it returns balances and identified tokens, which is useful context. No contradictions and no missing behavioral disclosure for a read-only tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no unnecessary words. Front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by essential usage notes. Highly concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with only two parameters and no output schema, the description is complete. It covers purpose, required inputs, return type, and provides a usage alternative, all within two sentences.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the description adds limited value beyond confirming required parameters. It mentions 'EVM chain' context, but does not detail allowed values or formatting beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Fetch' and the resource 'current token holdings for a wallet on an EVM chain'. It distinguishes from sibling 'last_tvl' by mentioning that tool handles pooled liquidity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says when to use (fetch token holdings) and provides an alternative ('last_tvl') for DEX pair liquidity. It also states both parameters are required. However, it does not address when not to use this tool compared to other siblings like stocks_profile.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description adds 'read live' and 'Returns structuredContent alongside the text,' providing behavioral context about the return format and real-time nature beyond the annotations. No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no filler. Every sentence earns its place by providing essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5

Given the tool's low complexity (2 params, output schema exists, strong annotations), the description fully covers purpose, usage distinction, parameter guidance, and return type. No gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both 'pair' and 'chain'. The description repeats an example and the chain list, adding marginal value beyond the schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate as the schema already does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it returns 'current aggregated TVL for a DEX trading pair on an EVM chain, read live.' The verb 'provides' and resource 'TVL' are specific. It distinguishes itself from sibling 'dex_wallet' by noting that for wallet balances you should use that tool instead.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly tells when to use this tool (get TVL for a pair) and when not (wallet balances → dex_wallet). Provides guidance on the canonical pair format and chain options. However, it does not mention other related siblings (e.g., last_quote for price), leaving minor ambiguity.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, and description adds scope (every market, optional filter). No contradictions; description provides safe read behavior context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences: first states purpose with examples, second states usage guidance. No unnecessary words; front-loaded with key information.

Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says 'Use it to discover the market slug the other markets_* tools expect,' guiding when to use. Does not explicitly state when not to use, but context is clear given sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so description's behavioral disclosure is limited. It adds no extra details about return format or limitations beyond being a read operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Given the tool has only one parameter, good annotations, and no output schema, the description covers all necessary context: what it returns, what it doesn't, and how it differs from related tools.
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?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The tool description provides examples of slugs ('nyse, us_equities, forex, crypto'), which adds practical guidance beyond the schema's description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses specific verbs ('Return the regular weekly trading-hours schedule') and clearly identifies the resource (market by slug). It distinguishes from siblings by explicitly naming 'markets_status' and 'markets_calendar' for different use cases.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states when to use this tool ('for the recurring schedule') and when not to ('for today's state... use markets_status; for holidays... use markets_calendar'). It provides clear alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the description complements by detailing the data source (Item 2.02 filings) and pagination behavior. It adds context about auto-collection and ordering but does not describe return format, which is acceptable without an output schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences cover purpose, source, pagination, and alternative. Every sentence adds information with no fluff. Front-loaded with primary purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a read-only list tool with 4 parameters and pagination, the description is sufficient. It explains what the tool does, how to use pagination, and how it compares to a sibling. No output schema, but the description doesn't need to detail return values as per guidelines.
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?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all parameters. The description adds value by explaining the interaction between cursor/limit and max_items, and that results are ordered most recent first, which is not in the schema's parameter descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists earnings-release history sourced from 8-K filings, most recent first. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'stocks_events' by specifying that this tool is for earnings only while 'stocks_events' covers all material events.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly describes pagination methods (cursor/limit, auto-page with max_items) and provides a clear alternative: for all 8-K events, use stocks_events. This tells the agent when to use and when not to use this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description adds ordering behavior ('most recent first') and pagination behavior (cursor/limit or auto-collect with max_items). This provides useful context beyond annotations, though it does not detail rate limits or maximum page sizes beyond schema constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three concise sentences: first defines the core function, second explains pagination, third provides alternatives. No redundant information, front-loaded with the most important action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema and the tool's moderate complexity, the description fully covers what the tool does, how to use pagination, and when to use sibling tools. No gaps in essential information.
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?
Schema coverage is 100% with parameter descriptions. The description adds value by explaining how max_items enables auto-collect across pages, which is not detailed in the schema. This enhances understanding of the parameter's behavior beyond the basic description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description specifies the exact resource (Schedule 13D/13G beneficial-ownership filings), the action (list), and ordering (most recent first). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools stocks_insiders and filers_holdings by specifying their different use cases.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly provides alternatives for related tasks: 'For officer/director trades use stocks_insiders; for institutional 13F positions use filers_holdings.' It also explains pagination options (cursor/limit vs. max_items), giving clear guidance on when to use each.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description fully explains the behavior: it computes the diff between two most recent annual reports, highlighting changes. Annotations declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, and the description adds no contradictions, only enriching understanding.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the action, no unnecessary words. Every sentence adds value: main functionality, usage guidance, and alternative tool reference.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with one parameter, no output schema, and good annotations, the description covers all necessary aspects: what it does, what it produces, and when to use an alternative. Nothing is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There is one parameter (ticker) with 100% schema coverage. The description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema's description ('US equity ticker, e.g. AAPL.'), so baseline score applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific action: compute year-over-year diff of risk factors (10-K Item 1A), highlighting added, removed, and changed language. It clearly distinguishes itself from the sibling tool stocks_section by providing an alternative for raw text.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly tells when to use it ('to see how disclosed risks evolved') and provides an alternative for raw text ('use stocks_section with section 'risk-factors''). This gives clear context for selection among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description adds details beyond annotations: clarifies what is cleared (subscriptions, buffered frames) and confirms idempotency. Annotations already cover idempotence and non-destructiveness, so description adds moderate extra value.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no redundancy, front-loads the main action, efficient and clear.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Tool has no parameters and no output schema. Description fully covers what the tool does, when to use, and safety properties, leaving no gaps.
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?
No parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. Baseline score of 4 applies as description does not need to add parameter info.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the tool disconnects the WebSocket, clears all subscriptions and buffered frames. Distinct from ws_unsubscribe which only removes some symbols.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly tells when to use this tool (tear everything down) and when to use the alternative (ws_unsubscribe for selective unsubscription).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description explains beyond annotations: the WebSocket stays open for remaining subscriptions and returns current connection status, revealing side effects not covered by annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no waste, front-loaded with the primary action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
