getSectorPerformanceSnapshot

Read-onlyIdempotent

Analyze sector performance by retrieving a snapshot for a specified date and exchange. View average changes across industries to gauge market trends.

Instructions

Get a snapshot of sector performance using the Market Sector Performance Snapshot API. Analyze how different industries are performing in the market based on average changes across sectors.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnly, idempotent, openWorld. Description adds no further behavioral traits (e.g., data freshness, limits). No contradiction but adds no value beyond annotations.

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, front-loaded with the primary action. No redundant 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, and description does not explain return values or structure. For a snapshot tool, some guidance on interpreting results would be helpful. Lacks completeness given optional parameters.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 3 parameters. Description does not add additional meaning or usage hints for parameters, so baseline 3 applies.

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 'Get' and resource 'sector performance snapshot'. Describes purpose of analyzing industry performance. However, does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like getSectorPESnapshot or getHistoricalSectorPerformance, though the name implies a snapshot.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Lacks context for optimal use cases or exclusions (e.g., when to prefer historical data).

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