get_reits_quote

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

Disclosures beyond annotations: symbol is optional, empty returns all REITs. Annotations already indicate readOnly, openWorld, idempotent. 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.

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

Extremely concise: two sentences plus an Args section. No wasted words; essential information 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?

With output schema present, description need not explain returns. It covers usage for a simple optional parameter. Could add more context on REITs, but sufficient.

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 coverage 0%, but description fully describes the single parameter 'symbol: REITs symbol (optional; empty = all)', adding meaning beyond the schema.

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 'Get REITs quote', a specific verb and resource. The strategy differentiates it from sibling tools like 'get_quote' by focusing on REITs.

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?

Provides explicit usage guidance: 'Leave symbol empty for all REITs.' Includes an example call. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but the context implies it.

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