Read-onlyIdempotent

Get header-level accounting totals for journal-entry IDs. Use this summary to review balances and totals, then retrieve line-level details when needed.

Instructions

Retrieve journal-entry summary rows for the requested journal-entry IDs. Use this for header-level accounting totals; use accounting_journal_entries_get_details for the corresponding line-level detail rows.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the summary-vs-detail output distinction, but does not disclose additional behavioral context such as pagination behavior, rate limits, or response envelope details.

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 two sentences, with the core retrieve action and scope stated first and the sibling alternative stated second. Every sentence earns its place and there is no fluff.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the output schema exists, annotations are rich, and the parameter schema is fully documented, the description is complete enough for an agent to select and call the tool correctly. It clearly scopes the result level and points to the details sibling for the alternative use case.

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?

Input schema coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents id, page, pageSize, and includeTotal. The description does not add much parameter-level detail; 'requested journal-entry IDs' pluralizes the singular id field but does not conflict with 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 uses a specific verb ('Retrieve') and resource ('journal-entry summary rows'), and states it operates on journal-entry IDs. It also distinguishes this tool from accounting_journal_entries_get_details by framing it as the header-level summary counterpart.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It gives explicit when-to-use guidance: use this for header-level accounting totals, and use accounting_journal_entries_get_details for line-level detail rows. This directly names the alternative and the condition that selects it.

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