Budget Manage Tool

budget_manage

Behavior2/5

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

With empty annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosure but fails to state whether operations are read-only or mutating, what resources are created/modified, or response formats. It only lists action intents without behavioral consequences.

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?

Extremely compact single-sentence structure with parenthetical action descriptions. No filler text, though the density sacrifices clarity regarding the aforementioned parameter mismatch.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Incomplete due to missing parameter definitions for 'forecast' (period/granularity absent from schema), no output schema hints, and no disclosure of side effects or permissions for a tool that ostensibly manages financial resources.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

While schema coverage is 100% (baseline 3), the description introduces confusion by referencing 'period' and 'granularity' for the 'forecast' action, which are not defined in the input schema. This creates a mismatch between described functionality and actual parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clear verb-resource pairing (manage budget/costs) and distinguishes from sibling '*_manage' tools via domain-specific actions (summary, check, forecast). However, 'manage' is slightly vague compared to more specific verbs like 'query' or 'forecast'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Lists available actions but provides no guidance on when to invoke this tool versus siblings (e.g., 'team_manage' or 'project_manage') or prerequisites. No 'when-not-to-use' or alternative recommendations are given.

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