Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve detailed company profile data for any stock symbol, including market capitalization, stock price, industry, and other key financial and operational information.

Instructions

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and open-world behavior. Description adds some example fields but no additional behavioral details like authentication, rate limits, or response structure beyond what annotations imply.

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 concise sentences with no fluff. First sentence states the action, second provides key examples. Efficient and well-structured.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given no output schema, the description provides a reasonable list of example output fields (market cap, price, industry) and hints at more. Lacks details on data format or freshness, but sufficient for a simple tool with one parameter.

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?

Parameter 'symbol' is fully described in the schema as 'Stock symbol'. The description does not add extra meaning, format constraints, or examples, so it adds no value beyond the schema.

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?

Clearly states the tool retrieves detailed company profile data for a stock symbol, listing example fields like market cap and industry. However, with many sibling tools, it does not explicitly differentiate itself from similar ones like getCompanyProfileByCIK or getCompanyExecutives.

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 when needing company profile data for a symbol, but no explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites or context compared to siblings.

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