CIA Diagnose

tools_recommend

Read-onlyIdempotent

Recommend best free, open-source, or paid tools for weak business dimensions identified in diagnosis. Get curated picks per industry to address specific gaps.

Instructions

Recommend the BEST free/OSS/paid tools per business dimension.

Backed by CIA's curated tool registry (tools_registry/), which is refreshed weekly and supports per-industry specialization. Each tool carries why_best — why CIA picked it. Gives immediate, actionable value before any commercial conversation.

Use AFTER business_diagnose to recommend tools for weak dimensions. Pass industry to get industry-specific picks where available.

Args: dimensions: Comma-separated dimensions to get tools for. Options: finanzas, comercial, operaciones, equipo, tecnologia, marketing, clientes, proveedores, legal, estrategia, marketing_digital. Leave empty for ALL dimensions. industry: ICP id (e.g. 'construction') for industry-specific picks. lang: Language ('es' or 'en').

Returns: dict: Tool recommendations grouped by dimension with name, tier (free/oss/paid), url, description, and why_best.

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint. Description adds value by noting weekly refresh, per-industry specialization, and that each tool includes 'why_best'. 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

Well-structured with summary, context, usage guidance, and args. Approximately 150 words, clear and front-loaded. Minor redundancy but overall efficient.

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?

No output schema, but description explains return format (dict grouped by dimension with name, tier, url, description, why_best). Also covers weekly refresh and tool registry. Complete for a read-only recommendation 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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates with detailed Args: lists options for dimensions, explains industry as ICP id, and lang as 'es' or 'en'. Adds meaning 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?

The description clearly states 'Recommend the BEST free/OSS/paid tools per business dimension,' specifying verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings by referencing the curated tool registry and usage after business_diagnose.

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 states 'Use AFTER business_diagnose' and explains when to pass industry. Does not explicitly mention when not to use, but provides clear context for appropriate use.

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