getCashFlowGrowthBulk

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve bulk growth data for cash flow statements to track changes in cash flows over time. Analyze cash flow growth trends for multiple companies simultaneously.

Instructions

The Cash Flow Statement Growth Bulk API allows you to retrieve bulk growth data for cash flow statements, enabling you to track changes in cash flows over time. This API is ideal for analyzing the cash flow growth trends of multiple companies simultaneously.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
yearYesYear (e.g., 2023)
periodYesPeriod (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, FY)
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint; description only repeats retrieval aspect without adding behavioral details like rate limits or pagination.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose and use case, no unnecessary words.

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

Completeness3/5

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

No output schema; description lacks explanation of return format, pagination, or what 'growth data' concretely includes.

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 with clear descriptions for year and period; description adds no further parameter context 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?

Clearly states it retrieves bulk growth data for cash flow statements, tracking changes over time for multiple companies. Distinguishes from siblings like getCashFlowStatementGrowth (single) and getCashFlowStatementsBulk (non-growth).

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Implies use for analyzing multiple companies' cash flow growth trends simultaneously, but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tools guidance.

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