get_macro_indicators

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

Annotations are absent, so the description carries the full burden. It only states the purpose and categories, but does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, data freshness, permissions, or side effects. The description lacks transparency beyond basic functionality.

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 of 15 words, immediately conveying the purpose. It is concise and front-loaded with the core action ('Get India macro indicators'), with no wasted words.

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?

For a simple tool with one enum parameter and no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and parameter details. However, it lacks information about output format, data frequency, or any limitations. It is minimally viable but could be more complete.

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 description adds meaning to the 'tab' parameter by explaining the subcategories for each enum value (e.g., 'industry credit/IIP', 'demand (GST/auto)'). This provides context beyond the raw enum, compensating for the 0% schema description coverage.

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 retrieves India macro indicators and lists the categories (industry, demand, GDP). The verb 'Get' indicates retrieval. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools, though the macro focus distinguishes it from company-specific siblings.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description only states what it does; it does not provide any context for when to choose this tool over siblings, nor any exclusions or prerequisites.

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