warehouses

Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists the three published data builds with pinned tags and commits, table and row counts, coverage period, and statement; call first when unsure which data build a question belongs to.

Instructions

List the three warehouses (doorstep, turnaround, ledger) with the tag and commit each is pinned at, how many tables and rows each has, the period each covers, and the statement. Call this first when you do not know which warehouse a question belongs to.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
statementNoAnswers are drawn from the published tables of three portfolio builds by Ajay Mekala: doorstep (public housing data from FHFA, the Census Bureau, HUD, the CFPB and Freddie Mac), turnaround (public flight data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the FAA and OurAirports, with weather from Open-Meteo under CC BY 4.0) and ledger (a fictional bank, Harborline, with public HMDA, CFPB, FDIC and macro series). No person appears in any table, and questions are redacted before a model sees them. Every number is read back to the warehouse before it is shown. This is a portfolio demonstration, not financial, travel or lending advice.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds that the result is a fixed set of three warehouses with pin/tag and row/table counts, which is useful context but largely mirrors the output schema.

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 what is returned and followed by the routing rule; nothing wasted.

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?

With zero parameters and an output schema present, the description only needs to frame purpose and timing, which it does well. Minor gap: it does not indicate whether the returned set is fixed or workspace-dependent.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool takes no parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description correctly implies no inputs are needed to enumerate the warehouses.

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?

States a specific verb ("List") and resource ("the three warehouses") and even enumerates them (doorstep, turnaround, ledger), plus the attributes returned. An agent can distinguish this from search_catalog/run_sql immediately.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly says "Call this first when you do not know which warehouse a question belongs to," giving a clear selection rule for a discovery step. It does not name the sibling tools that take over once the warehouse is known, so it falls just short of a full when/when-not treatment.

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