Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve articles for a security symbol, with title, source, publish time, summary, URL, and related symbols.

Instructions

Get latest news articles for a symbol. Returns items[]{id, title, source, publish_time, summary, url, related_symbols[]}.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
_jqNoOptional jq filter (jaq syntax) applied to this tool's JSON response before it is returned; it never changes the upstream request. One output is returned as-is, several as a JSON array, none as []. Module imports and the `env`/`debug`/`stderr` builtins are unavailable. Example: .data | map({symbol}). Omit for the full response.
symbolYesSecurity symbol, e.g. "700.HK". Use the canonical form — a padded code like "00700.HK" returns an empty record, not an error.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, covering safety. The description adds the return structure (items[] with fields) but does not disclose additional behaviors such as pagination, ordering guarantees, or error handling. Given annotation coverage, the description provides modest extra value, warranting a 3.

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?

The description is a single sentence with a clear purpose, followed by a compact return structure specification. It is front-loaded, avoids filler, and every word contributes meaning.

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?

The description clearly states the input (symbol) and the output format, which is sufficient for a simple read-only tool with no output schema. It does not mention pagination or limits, but for a news list tool this is a minor gap. The return structure is explicit, so an agent can call it correctly.

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 description coverage is 100% for both parameters. The description adds no parameter-specific detail beyond what the schema provides; it only mentions 'symbol' implicitly. With high schema coverage, the baseline is 3, and the description does not elevate it.

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?

The description states a specific verb ('Get'), a resource ('news articles'), and a scoping parameter ('for a symbol'). It also specifies the return shape, which distinguishes it from news_search (which likely searches by keyword) and news_detail (which fetches a single article). The purpose is unambiguous.

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?

The description implies usage for fetching symbol-specific news but does not explicitly compare to alternatives like news_search or news_detail. There is no guidance on when not to use it or what to prefer for other scenarios. The context is clear (symbol-based news) but exclusions are absent, so it stops at 'implied usage'.

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