get_company_profile

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It states the tool returns multiple data types in one call, which is useful. However, it does not disclose any behavioral traits like data freshness, error conditions, or whether it is read-only, though the verb 'get' implies safety.

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?

Two sentences with a relevant example. No wasted words. The key information (what is returned and how to use it) is front-loaded.

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?

Given no output schema, the description sufficiently lists the returned data components (sector, industry, fundamentals, current quote). The example aids understanding. Could mention if the response is from a single resource, but not a major gap.

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 only parameter 'symbol' is explained by the example 'TCS', but the description adds no semantic detail beyond the schema. Since schema coverage is 0%, a baseline of 3 is appropriate because the parameter is self-explanatory.

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 states the tool retrieves a comprehensive company profile including sector, industry, fundamentals, and current quote. It distinguishes from siblings like get_stock_quote and detailed financial tools by positioning itself as a one-call aggregate.

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 implies usage for quick company overviews but does not explicitly state when to use this vs alternatives like get_stock_quote or get_key_ratios. No when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

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