Robinhood Get Options By Expiration And Strike

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral disclosure burden. It only restates the operation at a high level and does not mention return format, default behavior for option_type, pagination, authentication requirements, or any other runtime behavior an agent would need to know.

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 concise sentence with no filler. It front-loads the action and resource, then states the two key filters, making it efficiently scannable.

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?

With no annotations and no output schema, the description leaves important context unaddressed, such as what exactly is returned, whether option_type is needed for the desired result, and how this tool relates to the other options-oriented siblings. The minimal description is sufficient only for a very basic understanding of the tool's purpose.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already fully documents all four parameters. The description adds no new parameter semantics beyond restating that filtering is by expiration date and strike price, which keeps it at the baseline score.

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 clearly specifies the action ('Get options'), the resource ('for a stock'), and the filtering dimensions (expiration date and strike price). It is specific enough to convey the core function, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the closely related robinhood_get_option_chain sibling.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives such as robinhood_get_option_chain or robinhood_get_available_expirations. The intended use case is only weakly implied by the filters mentioned in the description.

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