get_bse_quote

Retrieve current stock quotes for Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) listed companies. Use the .BO suffix to specify the ticker symbol.

Instructions

Get BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) stock quote. Use the .BO suffix for BSE stocks (e.g. RELIANCE.BO, TATASTEEL.BO). If you only have the company name, try the NSE symbol with .BO suffix. Data via Yahoo Finance.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It states it's a read operation from Yahoo Finance. Lacks details on error handling, rate limits, or return format, but adequate for a simple quote 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?

Three concise sentences, each providing essential information: what the tool does, how to use the suffix, and a fallback tip. No redundant or unclear phrasing.

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?

For a simple 1-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers usage, data source, and syntax. Could mention that it returns a price quote, but not critical given the name and context.

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?

Input schema has 100% coverage describing the symbol parameter. The description reinforces the .BO suffix requirement and provides examples, adding context but not essential new info 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 explicitly states 'Get BSE stock quote' with exchange name, examples of symbols, and data source. It clearly differentiates from siblings like get_nse_quote (NSE) and get_quote (generic).

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?

Provides explicit syntax rule (use .BO suffix) and a fallback strategy for company names. However, it does not explicitly mention when to avoid this tool in favor of siblings like get_nse_quote.

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