ZenMoney Suggest Transaction

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

No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the tool suggests values but does not indicate if it is read-only, what side effects exist, authentication requirements, or how inputs affect the suggestion. This is insufficient for an agent to safely invoke the tool.

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 sentence with no wasted words. However, it could be restructured to include key details about parameters or behavior without adding length.

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 5 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain how the suggestion works, how each parameter influences the result, or what the tool returns. More context is needed for proper tool selection and usage.

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 5 parameters with no descriptions. The description mentions 'suggest transaction payee, merchant, or tags' but does not clarify whether these are inputs or outputs. The parameters payee, merchant, amount, accountId, and date are left ambiguous. The description adds minimal meaning beyond the schema.

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 states the tool suggests transaction payee, merchant, or tags. The verb 'suggest' is specific and distinguishes this tool from sibling tools that list or get data. However, it lacks detail on what 'suggest' means operationally.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Sibling tools like zenmoney_list_merchants or zenmoney_list_tags are available for directly retrieving known values, but the description does not clarify when a suggestion is appropriate.

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