liquidity_analysis

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states 'analyze' without disclosing behavioral traits like whether it performs calculations, generates reports, requires data inputs, or has side effects. It lacks details on permissions, rate limits, or output format, making it insufficient for a mutation or read operation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

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

The description is a single, efficient sentence with no wasted words, making it appropriately concise. However, it could be more front-loaded with additional context without sacrificing brevity, slightly limiting its effectiveness.

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

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

Given no annotations, no output schema, and a general purpose, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'analyze' means in practice, what the tool returns, or how it differs behaviorally from siblings, leaving significant gaps for the agent to understand its use.

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

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

The input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description doesn't add param details, which is acceptable here, but it could have mentioned if any implicit inputs are required. Baseline is 4 due to the lack of parameters.

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

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

The description 'Analyze current liquidity position and requirements' states a general purpose but lacks specificity about what 'analyze' entails or what resources it operates on. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on liquidity rather than other financial metrics, but doesn't specify the verb or scope clearly enough for a higher score.

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

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'cash_flow_analysis' or 'working_capital_analysis' is provided. The description implies usage for liquidity assessment but doesn't clarify context, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent with minimal direction.

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